Disable silent conversions in numpy

Question

Is there a way to disable silent conversions in numpy?

import numpy as np
a = np.empty(10, int)
a[2] = 4     # OK
a[3] = 4.9   # Will silently convert to 4,          


        

Answer 1

Just an idea.

#Python 2.7.3
>>> def test(value):
...     if '.' in str(value):
...         return str(value)
...     else:
...         return value
... 
>>> a[3]=test(4.0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
ValueError: invalid literal for long() with base 10: '4.0'
