[Pytables-users] Docs inaccuracy: where(UInt64Col)

[Daπid <dav...@gm...>]

I want to report an inaccuracy in this doc:
http://pytables.github.com/usersguide/condition_syntax.html#condition-syntax

After listing the types supported in the search table.where:

"Nevertheless, if the type passed is not among the above ones, it will
be silently upcasted, so you don’t need to worry too much about
passing supported types: just pass whatever type you want and the
interpreter will take care of it."

But if I pass an Unsigned 64 bits integer I get:

NotImplementedError: variable ``N`` refers to a 64-bit unsigned
integer column, not yet supported in conditions, sorry; please use
regular Python selections

Of course, that type cannot be upcasted to any of the listed, so you
trully cannot expect it to work; but the behaviour is not exactly what
it says on the paragraph.


For the record: I am using the lastest released version of PyTables, 2.3.


Regards,

David.
