Topic

An updated python-numeric package that fixes one bug is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The python-numeric package is a Python module that provides enhanced support for
numerical operations.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, an attempt to use the Numeric.reshape() method to reshape an array

into a multi-dimensional array caused Python to terminate unexpectedly with the
following error message:

ValueError: total size of new array must be unchanged

With this update, a patch has been applied to address this issue, and the
Numeric.reshape() method no longer causes Python to crash. (BZ#703160)

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated python-numeric package, which fixes
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
