I'm creating a filled contour plot using m.contourf() form basemap(http://matplotlib.org/basemap/api/basemap_api.html#mpl_toolkits.basemap.Basemap.contourf). For some reason ever since I upgraded to Python 3.6 and upgraded my packages numpy, scipy pandas etc, I keep getting this error. It worked fine in Python2.7 though.
Error,
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Users/karthik/Documents/code/test_countourf.py", line 99, in <module>
map.contourf(x, y, _arr, zorder = 0, cmap = _cmap, norm = cNorm, levels=levels)

xx = x[x.shape[0]/2,:]
IndexError: only integers, slices (`:`), ellipsis (`...`), numpy.newaxis (`None`) and integer or boolean arrays are valid indices
My suspicion was that x.shape[0]/2 gives a float(since Python 3 I think) instead of an integer which might be the error since I didn't see the error in Python 2.7.
Any ideas on how to fix it in Python 3.6?
Thanks!
You could replace x.shape[0]/2
by x.shape[0]//2
as a quick fix, just as it's already been done in the newest version. In general, you may need to update matplotlib as well as basemap.
