# scipy.linalg.LinAlgError

exception `scipy.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.

  Parameters: | None

  Examples

      >>> from numpy import linalg as LA
      >>> LA.inv(np.zeros((2,2)))
