 Reporter:  jochen.eppler  |       Owner:  somebody
     Type:  defect         |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  normal         |   Milestone:  1.0.5   
Component:  numpy.lib      |     Version:  devel   
 Severity:  major          |    Keywords:          
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 With numpy 1.04, the following code
 {{{
 import numpy
 xs = numpy.arange(0.0, 20.0, 0.1)
 hist = numpy.histogram(xs, bins=numpy.linspace(0.0, 20.0, 4.0))
 }}}
 produces an exception.
 {{{
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 exceptions.NameError                                 Traceback (most
 recent call last)

 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/lib/function_base.py in
 histogram(a, bins, range, normed)
     152         bins = linspace(mn, mx, bins, endpoint=False)
     153     else:
 --> 154         if(any(bins[1:]-bins[:-1] < 0)):
     155             raise AttributeError, 'bins must increase
 monotonically.'
     156

 NameError: global name 'any' is not defined
 }}}

 With 1.0.3 the function works nicely.
