     Type:  defect                  |      Status:  new        
 Priority:  normal                  |   Milestone:  Unscheduled
Component:  numpy.core              |     Version:  1.6.1      
 Keywords:  ndarray matrix dot out  |  
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
 Testing with python 2.7.2, Pywin32 build 217, and numpy-1.6.1-win32
 -superpack-python2.7.exe, any call to ndarray.dot() with an "out" argument
 fails:

 >>> import numpy
 >>> numpy.version.version
 '1.6.1'
 >>> a=numpy.array(((1,2),(3,4)))
 >>> b=numpy.array((5,6))
 >>> c=numpy.array((7,8))
 >>> a.dot(b)
 array([17, 39])
 >>> a.dot(b,c)
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
 TypeError: function takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
 >>> a.dot(b,out=c)
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
 TypeError: dot() takes no keyword arguments

 Similar calls to numpy.dot() succeed:

 >>> numpy.dot(a,b,c)
 array([17, 39])
 >>> numpy.dot(a,b,out=c)
 array([17, 39])

 Similar calls to matrix.dot() with an "out" argument also fail (not shown)
