Unexpected upcasting of complex64 to complex128

Open mutricyl opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Working on https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/21374 I am Coming across unexpected complex128 upcasting.

here is an example of numexpr upcasting complex64 to complex128 when python operation conserves the correct dtype.

>>> compl = 1 + 1j
>>> ne.evaluate('compl + 2').dtype
dtype('complex128')
>>> ne.evaluate('compl + compl').dtype
dtype('complex128')
>>> compl+compl
(2+2j)
>>> type(compl+compl)
<class 'complex'>
>>> type(compl+2)
<class 'complex'>
