[Numpy-discussion] uint64 typecasting with scalars broken (?)

[Christian Marquardt]

Hello,

The following is what I expected...

   >>> y = 1234
   >>> x = array([1], dtype = "uint64")
   >>> print x + y, (x + y).dtype.type
   [1235] <type 'numpy.uint64'>

but is this the way it should be? (numpy 1.0.2, Linux, Intel comilers)

   >>> print x[0] + y, type(x[0] + y)
   1235.0 <type 'numpy.float64'>

Thanks,

  Christian.
