It works in Python 2, you just have to ensure that your string is unicode. I can't get it to work directly from the command line for some reason, but if you open an interactive Python session it works: Python 2.7.12 (default, Dec 1

While I may not be a climate scientist, I am a scientist, and you are being disingenuous when you insinuate that those who disagree with the scientific consensus are punished by losing their position. Dr. Salby was not fired from two resear

By "I find that fascinating," do you mean "I interpret that as meaning people who believe in anthropogenic global climate change are closed minded and unwilling to entertain opposing viewpoints"? Because if so, that&#x27

I think your suggestion we watch the video and make our own decision is unreasonable and made in poor faith. An hour is quite a long time to spend watching a presentation by a man who is notoriously untrustworthy, based on his prior history

In this particular case I think it was fairly obvious, not so much because of the meaningfulness of the human-written poems (though the poems that were written by humans did clearly have meaning associated with them), but more because the m

4000 K locally, due to laser heating, as opposed to being in a kiln. More importantly, it is done at ambient pressure, and doesn't need a diamond anvil or other high-pressure chamber.

While it's a bit of a pain to install, Assimulo provides very nice Python interface to the robust Sundials library of ODE/DAE solvers. I'm currently using it in a project that requires the solution of DAEs and it behaves much

The issue isn't that an infinite sum of tiny terms don't converge -- the issue is that individual terms of perturbation theory diverge. An example can be found in J. Chem. Phys. 112, 2000, 9736-9748 "Divergence in Moller--Ple

That is not true, Bernard does not know the birthday is in July. He knows it can't be in May or June, and he knows that the day of the month is the 16th. The only remaining option is July 16.

I remain unconvinced that Nootrobox's mixture of caffeine, green tea extract, and herbal supplements is anything more than an expensive stay-awake pill.

LAPACK and BLAS have many implementations, some of which are written in Fortran, but as you've said external LAPACK and BLAS libraries are not necessary to successfully compile NumPy, though they do accelerate certain NumPy routines.
115.
by plus 12y ago
This is actually not true. All Fortran routines are packaged with SciPy, as one of the explicit goals of NumPy is to be installable without a Fortran compiler.

by plus 12y ago
NumPy contains no Fortran code, and can be compiled without a Fortran compiler. What NumPy does provide is f2py, which is used to compile SciPy, which does have Fortran code.
