[pymvpa] LinearCSVMC() error with python 2.7 but not 2.6?

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

sorry for the delays with the answers... so the wild guess (I haven't
tried your .nii yet but got other failures ;) ) is that :

>    before: Dataset(memmap([[� 3.19004774e-01,� -2.48533797e+00,��
>    1.55277145e+00,
>    after:��� Dataset(array([[� 3.19004774e-01,� -2.48533797e+00,��
>    1.55277145e+00,

is the cause... what if you

ds.samples = np.asarray(ds.samples)

after you create the dataset -- does it workaround the issue as well?


I have not realized that memmap (which is what by default nibabel
returns if it can memmap the file, which it can here with uncompressed
.nii) has "intricacies" -- e.g. np.sum on a memmap'ed array is again a
memmap object instead of just a scalar...
