I'm trying to iterate an array of values generated with numpy.linspace:
slX = numpy.linspace(obsvX, flightX, numSPts)
slY = np.linspace(obsvY, flightY, numSPts)
for index,point in slX:
yPoint = slY[index]
arcpy.AddMessage(yPoint)
This code worked fine on my office computer, but I sat down this morning to work from home on a different machine and this error came up:
File "C:\temp\gssm_arcpy.1.0.3.py", line 147, in AnalyzeSightLine
for index,point in slX:
TypeError: 'numpy.float64' object is not iterable
slX is just an array of floats, and the script has no problem printing the contents -- just, apparently iterating through them. Any suggestions for what is causing it to break, and possible fixes?

numpy.linspace() gives you a one-dimensional NumPy array. For example:
>>> my_array = numpy.linspace(1, 10, 10)
>>> my_array
array([ 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., 6., 7., 8., 9., 10.])
Therefore:
for index,point in my_array
cannot work. You would need some kind of two-dimensional array with two elements in the second dimension:
>>> two_d = numpy.array([[1, 2], [4, 5]])
>>> two_d
array([[1, 2], [4, 5]])
Now you can do this:
>>> for x, y in two_d:
print(x, y)
1 2
4 5
