Using the Numpy 1.2 spkg that will probably be in the next version of Sage, I get: sage: import numpy sage: x=numpy.mgrid[0.:1.:0.1] sage: x array([0.000000000000000, 0.100000000000000, 0.200000000000000, 0.300000000000000, 0.400000000000000, 0.500000000000000, 0.600000000000000, 0.700000000000000, 0.800000000000000, 0.900000000000000], dtype=object) sage: type(x[0]) <type 'sage.rings.real_mpfr.RealLiteral'> sage: type(x[1]) <type 'sage.rings.real_mpfr.RealNumber'> Is that what you want? If you just want python floats, the problem is that Sage is making the "0." and the "1." into Sage Real Numbers: sage: preparse('x=numpy.mgrid[0.:1.:0.1]') "x=numpy.mgrid[RealNumber('0.'):RealNumber('1.'):RealNumber('0.1')]" You can get python floats by doing converting the numbers you specify to floats: sage: x=numpy.mgrid[float(0.):float(1.):float(0.1)] sage: type(x[0]) <type 'numpy.float64'> sage: type(x[1]) <type 'numpy.float64'> There are other ways to get just python floats as well, but this is probably the easiest for a single line.
