[SciPy-dev] Have divide by zero handling changed lately?

[Otto Tronarp]

Hello,

have numpy's handling of divide by zero changed lately?

import numpy
numpy.seterr(divide='warn')
v = numpy.asarray([0, 1], dtype='d')

print 1/numpy.asarray([0], dtype='d')
print 1/v

print 1.0/v[0]


In the code above 1.0/v[0] doesn't generate a warning, that can't be right?

While writing this I actually tried some more things:
1.0/numpy.float32(0) has correct behavior (generates a warning)
whereas 1.0/numpy.float64(0) silently gives us an inf.

This is with
In [95]:numpy.__version__
Out[95]:'1.0.1'
on a
i686 AMD Sempron(tm)   2600+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux


Regards,
Otto
