Hi All, I found the following problems after testing my software with numarray 0.5: 1) Following works fine if both a and b are arrays:

...

...

a = array([2]) b = array([1, 2]) print a + b [3 4]

However, if b is an python sequence:

...

...

a = array([2]) b = [1, 2] print a + b [3]

Apparently broadcasting does not work with python sequeces anymore. This used to work fine in version 0.4. Is this a bug? 2) It is not possible to compare an array type object to the 'Any' object:

...

...

Float64 == Any Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/numarray/numerictypes.py", line 112, in __cmp__ return (genericTypeRank.index(self.name) - ValueError: list.index(x): x not in list

I am not sure if this is a bug, or intended behaviour, but the possibilty to compare an array type object to 'Any' would be very useful for me. 3) The NA_typeNoToTypeObject() function fails if it is called before any arrays are created. It looks to me as if the pNumType array in libnumarraymodule.c is not initialized until an array is created. I don't know if any other functions are affected in the same way. Could this be fixed?
