[Matplotlib-users] Re: warning: Numeric and amd64

[Jon P. <Jon...@no...>]

On my AMD64 (using pre-compiled version as packaged by enthought) I get 
the expected results from RandomArray under Numeric ie:
 >>> from RandomArray import *
 >>> normal(2,2,10)
array([-0.43560529,  2.67296922,  0.84804749,  4.26332831,  0.64425385,  
3.43939352,
             4.07021809,  3.6235764 ,  2.93580639,  1.81101392])
