[MMTK] ParticleVectors and __float__ attributes

[Dr. Seth Olsen]

Hi MMTKers,

I had a try at working around the error I was getting from Subspace.getBasis(),
namely:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 67, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MMTK/Subspace.py", line 79, in
getBasis
    basis = Numeric.array(self.vectors, Numeric.Float)
AttributeError: ParticleVector instance has no attribute '__float__'

by adding a __float__ attribute to the ParticleVector class as such:

   def __float__(self):
        return Numeric.array(self.array,Numeric.Float)

but this doesn't work, giving instead a different error:
  File "<stdin>", line 67, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MMTK/Subspace.py", line 79, in
getBasis
    basis = Numeric.array(self.vectors, Numeric.Float)
TypeError: nb_float should return float object

This is quite perplexing, as I can't be the first one to run into this bug.
I'm giving up for the evening.  I will try again tomorrow.

Cheers,

Seth
