 Hi,

 I think the next message is wrong:

 {{{
 In [64]: c=numpy.array(1)
 In [65]: c[:]
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 <type 'exceptions.ValueError'>            Traceback (most recent call
 last)

 /home/faltet/carabos/repositori/ceei/<ipython console> in <module>()

 <type 'exceptions.ValueError'>: cannot slice a scalar
 }}}

 Instead, the message should be something like:

 {{{
 <type 'exceptions.IndexError'>: cannot slice a 0-d array
 }}}

 Thanks
