[Numpy-discussion] Need **working** code example of 2-D arrays

2008-10-12 Thread Linda Seltzer
I received several pieces of advice concerning my previous question on the use of 2-D arrays. However, none of these pieces of advice resulted in code that works. The latest suggestion In numpy it's import numpy as npy a = npy.zeros((256,256)) produced this error message: NameError:
