Error Picture as below:

 Original Code :

def trainNB0(trainMatrix,trainCategory):
    numTrainDocs = len(trainMatrix)
    numWords = len(trainMatrix[0])
    pAbusive = sum(trainCategory)/float(numTrainDocs)
    p0Num = ones(numWords);p1Num = ones(numWords)   #Initialize probabilities
    p0Num = 2.0 ; p1Denom = 2.0
    for i in range(numTrainDocs):
        if trainCategory[i] == 1:
            p1Num += trainMatrix[i]
            p1Denom += sum(trainMatrix[i])     #Vector addition
        else:
            p0Num += trainMatrix[i]
            p0Denom += sum(trainMatrix[i])
    p1Vect = log(p1Num/p1Denom)      # change to log()
    p0Vect = log(p0Num/p0Denom)      # change to log()
    return p0Vect,p1Vect,pAbusive  # Element-wise division

Modified Code:

def trainNB0(trainMatrix,trainCategory):
    numTrainDocs = len(trainMatrix)
    numWords = len(trainMatrix[0])
    pAbusive = sum(trainCategory)/float(numTrainDocs)
    p0Num = ones(numWords);p1Num = ones(numWords)   #Initialize probabilities
    p0Denom = 2.0 ; p1Denom = 2.0
    for i in range(numTrainDocs):
        if trainCategory[i] == 1:
            p1Num += trainMatrix[i]
            p1Denom += sum(trainMatrix[i])     #Vector addition
        else:
            p0Num += trainMatrix[i]
            p0Denom += sum(trainMatrix[i])
    p1Vect = log(p1Num/p1Denom)      # change to log()
    p0Vect = log(p0Num/p0Denom)      # change to log()
    return p0Vect,p1Vect,pAbusive  # Element-wise division

Root Cause:

Due to make a mistake for variable definiation,use p0Denom instead of  p0Num is correct.
