Scipy: vectorized function does not take scalars as arguments

[ago]

Once I vectorize a function it does not acccept scalars anymore. Es

def f(x): return x*2
vf = vectorize(f)
print vf(2)

AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'astype'

Is this the intended behaviour?

More or less. It would be nice if it transparently handled the scalars, too, so
if you would like to work on that, we'd be happy to incorporate your changes.

Vectorize handles scalars in recent versions of NumPy. Which version do
you have?
