yes, if michael is around we could meet in berlin or magdeburg and have get you on skype. > There is a bulk of changes in some guys feature branches and if we do not > merge now, later it might not be as easy ;) I guess I would also need to check > how changes affect minimal compatible version in 2.x series (if affect at > all). > FWIC (for what i care) 2.6 should be good enough for me ;) I have tried to stay compatible with 2.5 so that you can backport to squeeze, but I did not test if this is really the case. > but at times going through changes I got a bit scared ;-) e.g. that is the most controversial change, I think: > 1. > - self._unique_values = np.unique(self.value) > + # get a 1-D array > + arrvalue = np.asarray(self.value).ravel() > + # check if we have None somewhere > + nones = np.equal(arrvalue, None) > + if nones.any(): > + uniques = np.unique(arrvalue[nones == False]) > + # put back one None > + self._unique_values = np.insert(uniques, 0, None) > + else: > + self._unique_values = np.unique(arrvalue) > > does numpy handles its own arrays differently among pythons or what is > the reason? the reason is that sometimes self.values contains None's. in python 3 arithmetic comparisons like < or > are not allowed among heterogeneous types, so you can not sort a list or an array that looks for example like this: [ 0, 1, None, -2]. and np.unique uses sort internally. the dance with the None's is not needed in py2, so we could special case with a sys.version >= '3', but you have to decide if it is worth it. the new masked array type in newcoming numpy could probably used instead... it is not an inferior behaviour when compared to py2: actually I think I spotted at least one place (the tests is still failing) where PyMVPA was comparing non-comparable types and getting a basically random result: ====================================================================== ERROR: test_basic (mvpa2.tests.test_datameasure.SensitivityAnalysersTests) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/tiziano/git/PyMVPA/build/py3k/mvpa2/testing/sweepargs.py", line 67 , in do_sweep method(*args_, **kwargs_) File "/home/tiziano/git/PyMVPA/build/py3k/mvpa2/tests/test_datameasure.py", li ne 79, in test_basic self.assertTrue(f[0] > 0.1) # some reasonably large value TypeError: unorderable types: Dataset() > float() > 2. > - sample += random.sample((targets == r).nonzero()[0], npertarget[i] ) > + sample += random.sample(list((targets == r).nonzero()[0]), > npertarget[i] ) > > why does it need explicit conversion to list, are numpy arrays not > iterables any longer, or random.sample now can't tollerate them... the reason is: Python 3.2.3rc2 (default, Mar 21 2012, 05:47:04) [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import numpy >>> x = numpy.zeros((10,)) >>> import random >>> random.sample(x, 1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.2/random.py", line 298, in sample raise TypeError("Population must be a sequence or set.

(BSD-3 I guess ;) ) will do :) ciao, tiziano _______________________________________________ Pkg-ExpPsy-PyMVPA mailing list Pkg-ExpPsy-PyMVPA@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-exppsy-pymvpa
