[Numpy-discussion] underflow array([2.9e-131])**3

[Jean-Bernard A. <jb...@ph...>]

Hey Numpy people!

Do anyone know how to disable underflow exception errors in Numeric?

I have a lot of these in my code. It is now a very important problem in my
calculations. The only solution I see is to make a for loop and make the
arithmetic in python instead of Numeric.

Thanks for your help,

	Jean-Bernard
