 Hello,
 I'm forwarding here the Debian bugs http://bugs.debian.org/585309 .

 We recently run an archive check for string exceptions, and numpy resulted
 to contain one:

 numpy/f2py/capi_maps.py:            except: raise 'sign2map: expected
 complex number `(r,i)\' but got `%s\' as initial value of %s.'%(init,`a`)

 This code won't work with python version >= 2.6, so it would be really
 nice to have this fixed soon (even because the solution is very simple,
 wrap the string in Exception()).

 Thanks in advance,
 Sandro
