numpy.linalg.LinAlgError

Generic Python-exception-derived object raised by linalg functions.

General purpose exception class, derived from Python?s exception.Exception class, programmatically raised in linalg functions when a Linear Algebra-related condition would prevent further correct execution of the function.

Examples

>>> from numpy import linalg as LA
>>> LA.inv(np.zeros((2,2)))
Traceback (most recent call last):

    in inv return wrap(solve(a, identity(a.shape[0], dtype=a.dtype)))
  File "...linalg.py", line 249,
    in solve
    raise LinAlgError('Singular matrix')
numpy.linalg.LinAlgError: Singular matrix
