TypeError: bad operand type for unary -: ‘TVector3’

nothing mission critical but if i am doing something wrong i’d like to know in case it crops up elsewhere. tia.

Hi,

my mistake: PyROOT binds unary - to sub instead of neg. I’ll get that fixed, but for yourself to be able to use “-blah” now, do:

ROOT.TVector3.neg = ROOT.TVector3.sub

and all should work as expected from there …

Thanks for reporting!

Cheers,
Wim
