def linspace(start, stop, num=50, endpoint=True, retstep=False):
"""
Return evenly spaced numbers over a specified interval.
Returns `num` evenly spaced samples, calculated over the
interval [`start`, `stop` ].
The endpoint of the interval can optionally be excluded.
Parameters
----------
start : scalar
The starting value of the sequence.
stop : scalar
The end value of the sequence, unless `endpoint` is set to False.
In that case, the sequence consists of all but the last of ``num + 1``
evenly spaced samples, so that `stop` is excluded. Note that the step
size changes when `endpoint` is False.
num : int, optional
Number of samples to generate. Default is 50.
endpoint : bool, optional
If True, `stop` is the last sample. Otherwise, it is not included.
Default is True.
retstep : bool, optional
If True, return (`samples`, `step`), where `step` is the spacing
between samples.
Returns
-------
samples : ndarray
There are `num` equally spaced samples in the closed interval
``[start, stop]`` or the half-open interval ``[start, stop)``
(depending on whether `endpoint` is True or False).
step : float (only if `retstep` is True)
Size of spacing between samples.
See Also
--------
arange : Similiar to `linspace`, but uses a step size (instead of the
number of samples).
logspace : Samples uniformly distributed in log space.
Examples
--------
>>> np.linspace(2.0, 3.0, num=5)
array([ 2. , 2.25, 2.5 , 2.75, 3. ])
>>> np.linspace(2.0, 3.0, num=5, endpoint=False)
array([ 2. , 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8])
>>> np.linspace(2.0, 3.0, num=5, retstep=True)
(array([ 2. , 2.25, 2.5 , 2.75, 3. ]), 0.25)
Graphical illustration:
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
>>> N = 8
>>> y = np.zeros(N)
>>> x1 = np.linspace(0, 10, N, endpoint=True)
>>> x2 = np.linspace(0, 10, N, endpoint=False)

def logspace(start,stop,num=50,endpoint=True,base=10.0):
"""
Return numbers spaced evenly on a log scale.
In linear space, the sequence starts at ``base ** start``
(`base` to the power of `start`) and ends with ``base ** stop``
(see `endpoint` below).
Parameters
----------
start : float
``base ** start`` is the starting value of the sequence.
stop : float
``base ** stop`` is the final value of the sequence, unless `endpoint`
is False. In that case, ``num + 1`` values are spaced over the
interval in log-space, of which all but the last (a sequence of
length ``num``) are returned.
num : integer, optional
Number of samples to generate. Default is 50.
endpoint : boolean, optional
If true, `stop` is the last sample. Otherwise, it is not included.
Default is True.
base : float, optional
The base of the log space. The step size between the elements in
``ln(samples) / ln(base)`` (or ``log_base(samples)``) is uniform.
Default is 10.0.
Returns
-------
samples : ndarray
`num` samples, equally spaced on a log scale.
See Also
--------
arange : Similiar to linspace, with the step size specified instead of the
number of samples. Note that, when used with a float endpoint, the
endpoint may or may not be included.
linspace : Similar to logspace, but with the samples uniformly distributed
in linear space, instead of log space.
Notes
-----
Logspace is equivalent to the code
>>> y = linspace(start, stop, num=num, endpoint=endpoint)
>>> power(base, y)
Examples
--------
>>> np.logspace(2.0, 3.0, num=4)
