Numpy compatibility issue (python 2.6)

[bruno]

It seems that some TypeError messages have changed between versions
2.5 and 2.6, e.g.:

from math import radians
radians ()

in 2.5, this leads to "radians () takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)"
whereas in 2.6, the message is now: "radians () takes exactly one
argument (0 given)"

I agree that the two messages do have quite similar meanings, but the
2.6 message can no longer be "interpreted" by the _get_nargs function
(in numpy/lib/function_base.py) As a result, you can no longer define
(same example):
v_radians = numpy.vectorize (radians)

Anyone already confronted to this problem?

Thanks in advance...

I would file a bug report on numpy issue tracker. The bug is on their
end for trying to parse error messages. However, given that there's
no other option in this case, and that the workaround should be pretty
easy (I doubt any numbers but one are typed out, and it should be no
problem to special-case that), it should be fixed there.
