scipy's hamming() function is scipy.signal.hamming(). It's in the subpackage, and you need to import it like so: from scipy import signal signal.hamming(...) There *is* a scipy.hamming() function as well, which is just an alias for numpy.hamming(). [~] |1> import scipy [~] |2> import numpy [~] |3> scipy.hamming is numpy.hamming True Explaining why is a long story, but let's just say "historical reasons" and leave it at that. You almost never want to just "import scipy". All of the scipy goodness is in the subpackages. -- Robert Kern _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
