Hi there,
I've been using Numpy for several years and appreciate it very much.
The following minimal code has been tried on Python 3.4 and 3.5, with Numpy
1.8 and Numpy 1.11, respectively. I want to temporarily change the way
that a Numpy array is printed, then change it back.
import numpy as np
a = np.random.random((4,3))
print(a, "\n")
opt = np.get_printoptions()
np.set_printoptions(precision = 3, suppress = True)
print(a, "\n")
np.set_printoptions(opt)
print(a, "\n\nDone.\n")
Here is the traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "set_printoptions test.py", line 11, in <module>
print(a, "\n\nDone.\n")
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/numpy/core/numeric.py", line 1615,
in array_str
return array2string(a, max_line_width, precision, suppress_small, ' ',
"", str)

summary_insert)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/numpy/core/arrayprint.py", line 497,
in _formatArray
word = format_function(a[-i]) + separator
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/numpy/core/arrayprint.py", line 616,
in __call__
s = self.format % x
AttributeError: 'FloatFormat' object has no attribute 'format'
It took me a while to discover the bug, on the second to last line. That
line should read:
np.set_printoptions(**opt)
This unpacks the dictionary, opt, which was retrieved earlier in the
program with the call to get_printoptions.
I am wondering why set_printoptions would accept the dictionary as a single
argument. Shouldn't that raise a TypeError or something?
The AttributeError that is raised the next time that one attempts to print
a numpy array is remote from the problem, and thus rather uninformative,
which is why I did not immediately diagnose my error.
Should this be considered a Numpy bug, or is there some reason that
set_printoptions would legitimately need to accept a dictionary as a single
argument?
