This is the same error returned by diffusion1d.py (related to coin.shape instead of q.shape).
However, parity1d.py goes OK.

[Silvio Capobianco]

It actually looks like a problem with type assignment to the arguments of the makedist function. (OK, this I got from Monsieur de La Palice.)
For some reason I don't know, it works with 2D arrays, e.g. life, but not on 1D ones such as scarves and diffusion1d.
I'll browse some of the source code, hope I can get some ideas...
BTW: regarding my previous report, parity1d works precisely because it does NOT use makedist.
