Not much change from the previous successful build so not sure what is up. What other information would be useful?

[jswhit]

I'm guessing its numpy related. Do the tests pass with numpy 1.12.1?

[jswhit]

I confirmed that these failures are related to changes in the way masked arrays are handled in numpy 1.13. Pull request coming soon.

[jswhit]

Looks to me like this is due to a regression in numpy 1.13.rc0. I've reported this in numpy/numpy#9121.

[jswhit]

Fix for failing tst_enum.py in pull request #663 - tst_masked.py still fails because of change in behaviour of scalar numpy masked arrays in 1.13.

[jswhit]

OK, received clarification from the numpy folks that this change was intentional and implemented their suggested fix in pull request #663. Tests pass now with numpy 1.13.0rc1.

[jswhit]

merging pull request now...
