Unfortunately, the error remains--it still returns this error: Let's take this to the scipy-user list. Can you reduce your code down to a small, complete example that demonstrates the problem? Without more information, we can't help you. Also, we'll need to know what version of scipy you are using. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
