Complex numbers

[Renier Marchand <renierm@gmail.com>]

Hi.

I have been playing around with complex data that has been returned
from Python. This is obviously not in calc.el format but if I change
them to the correct format I can manipulate them using calc.

but

When I want to pass the complex numbers (python format) to python I
get an error. If I pass real number everything works as expected

For example:

      #+source: parameter-variation(data=0)
      #+begin_src python :result values
        return 'text'
      #+end_src


      |   |  hmin |                                     |

      |   |       |                                     |
      |   |  0.05 | (0.0331901438056,0.000535222885197) |

      |   |   0.6 | (0.0353146483908,0.000571501584524) |
      |   |   0.9 | (0.0355522909393,0.000574387067408) |
      |   |   1.2 | (0.0356575682336,0.000574851263615) |
      |   |  10.0 | (0.0357806926897,0.000575051685084) |
      | $ | x=0.1 | y=0.1                               |
      |   |  text |                                     |
      #+TBLFM: @11$2='(sbe "parameter-variation" (data
@3$2..@9$2))::@11$3='(sbe "parameter-variation" (data @3$3..@9$3))

i.e. I get the word 'text' returned for column 2 where there are real
numbers but I don't get anything returned where there are complex
numbers. As you can see, there are no actual calculation performed on
the data I am just returning 'text' so I am expecting it to work in
both instances.

The debug sessions show the following for the real column:

Substitution history of formula
Orig:   '(sbe "parameter-variation" (data @3$2..@9$2))
$xyz->  '(sbe "parameter-variation" (data @3$2..@9$2))
@r$c->  '(sbe "parameter-variation" (data #("0.05" 0 4 (fontified t
face org-table)) #("0.1" 0 3 (fontified t face org-table)) #("0.3" 0 3
(fontified t face org-table)) #("0.6" 0 3 (fontified t face
org-table)) #("0.9" 0 3 (fontified t face org-table)) #("1.2" 0 3
(fontified t face org-table)) #("10.0" 0 4 (fontified t face
org-table))))
$1->    '(sbe "parameter-variation" (data #("0.05" 0 4 (fontified t
face org-table)) #("0.1" 0 3 (fontified t face org-table)) #("0.3" 0 3
(fontified t face org-table)) #("0.6" 0 3 (fontified t face
org-table)) #("0.9" 0 3 (fontified t face org-table)) #("1.2" 0 3
(fontified t face org-table)) #("10.0" 0 4 (fontified t face
org-table))))
Result: text
Format: NONE
Final:  text

and for the complex column:

Thank you very much for your help.
