[Numpy-discussion] Failing to understand vectorize behavior

[Bryan Van de Ven]

otypes needs to be set for this to work.


In [19]: vstrip = vectorize( string.strip, otypes=[object])

In [20]: s = ['  aaaaaaaaaaaaaa  ' , ' bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb  ', ' 
cccccccccccccccccc ']

In [21]: vstrip(s)
Out[21]: array([aaaaaaaaaaaaaa, bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb, cccccccccccccccccc], 
dtype=object)
