Numpy: Creating a complex array from 2 real ones?

array

I swear this should be so easy... Why is it not? :(

In fact, I want to combine 2 parts of the same array to make a complex array:

Data[:,:,:,0] , Data[:,:,:,1]

These don't work:

x = np.complex(Data[:,:,:,0], Data[:,:,:,1])
x = complex(Data[:,:,:,0], Data[:,:,:,1])

Am I missing something? Does numpy not like performing array functions on complex numbers? Here's the error:

TypeError: only length-1 arrays can be converted to Python scalars

Cheers

How do you construct an array suitable for numpy sorting?

I need to sort two arrays simultaneously, or rather I need to sort one of the arrays and bring the corresponding element of its associated array with it as I sort. That is if the array is [(5, 33), (4, 44), (3, 55)] and I sort by the first axis (labeled below dtype='alpha') then I want: [(3.0, 55… >>> More

The "vectorizing" of fancy indexing by Python's numpy library sometimes gives unexpected results. For example: import numpy a = numpy.zeros((1000,4), dtype='uint32') b = numpy.zeros((1000,4), dtype='uint32') i = numpy.random.random_integers(0,999,1000) j = numpy.random.random_integers(0,3,1000) a[i… >>> More
