magic function whos not working in ipython

[Timmie]

Binary package hint: ipython

the magic function %whos always gives this strange error:

 %whos
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'> Traceback (most recent call last)

myscripts/<ipython console> in <module>()

/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/IPython/iplib.py in ipmagic(self, arg_s)
    962 else:
    963 magic_args = self.var_expand(magic_args,1)
--> 964 return fn(magic_args)
    965
    966 def ipalias(self,arg_s):

/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/IPython/Magic.py in magic_whos(self, parameter_s)
    989 array_type = None
    990 else:
--> 991 array_type = Numeric.ArrayType.__name__
    992
    993 # Find all variable names and types so we can figure out column sizes

<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'module' object has no attribute 'ArrayType'

on Windows this works.

Thank you for your bug report.
Could you please indicate which version of ipython you are using and the steps to reproduce this bug?

[Timmie (timmie)]

Version:

ii ipython 0.8.1-1 enhanced interactive Python shell

Reproduce:
I run a script with %run myscript.py and then did %whos.

I get "Interactive namespace is empty." but no errors.

I set a post to ipython users.
Maybe they can help:

Hello,
please mark this as a solved issue. The problem was caused by conflicting versions of the Numeric modeule on my system:

matplotlib, ipython and ubuntu - http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.matplotlib.general/11482

See my last comment. This has been solved and was a local issue. Nothing to do with Ubuntu and the package.
