Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Script:

import numpy as np

def single_angle(a):
    return a

def angles_from_R(R):
    """Get ax, ay, az from a rotation matrix."""
    ay = np.arcsin(R[0, 2])
    ax = - np.asin(R[1, 2] / np.cos(ay))
    az = - np.asin(R[0, 1] / np.cos(ay))

    return single_angle([[ax, ay, az]])

run this and then write in the console:
angles_from_R(

PS: I can't copy/paste from the editor with the issue editor open?

@ccordoba12 I think this was fixed by PR #9582 and I could not reproduce this with the latest master:

@impact27 could you do a pull to check if you're running with the latest version of Spyder? Thanks!
