[Python-modules-team] Bug#519580: python-numpy: broken 'deprecated' function whenever warnings filterings is on -- tiny misprint in utils.py, remove ", "

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: python-numpy
Version: 1:1.2.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


how to reproduce -- enable filtering of warnings, and use deprecated
function

>>> import warnings
>>> warnings.filterwarnings('ignore', 'buga duga', Warning)
>>> import scipy
>>> import scipy.stats
>>> scipy.sparse.speye(1,1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/lib/utils.py", line 110, in newfunc
    warnings.warn(str1, DeprecationWarning)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/warnings.py", line 62, in warn
    globals)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/warnings.py", line 85, in warn_explicit
    if ((msg is None or msg.match(text)) and
TypeError: expected string or buffer


Fix should be banal:

in numpy/lib/utils.py:105 replace

str1 = "%s is deprecated, use %s" % (oldname, newname),

with

str1 = "%s is deprecated, use %s" % (oldname, newname)

;-)
