Hi, Jim,

According to numpy documentation, this is not in fact a bug,
but desired behavior. Check out this link:

http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.6.0/reference/arrays.ndarray.html

And specifically the relevant part of the documentation says:

"
Conversion; the operations complex, int, long, float, oct, and hex.
They work only on arrays that have one element in them and return
the appropriate scalar.
"
