[python-control-discuss] OCF ss initial condition simulation

I have a transfer function and I want to simulate its response to initial
conditions.  Do to this correctly, I think I need to get to OCF so that I
understand the initial conditions of the states (if I thought about it,
maybe I could use C**-1 to find initial conditions for the states in any
form).  control.canonical_form seems prefect:

from control import TransferFunction as TF

diff = TF([1,0],1)
wn = 1.1*2*pi
z = 0.03
so_p = TF(wn,[1,2*z*wn,wn**2])
p = 2*2*pi
pole = TF(p,[1,p])
G = diff*so_p*pole
G

sys1 = control.tf2ss(G)
sys = control.canonical_form(sys1,"observable")

When I run that line, I see my desired C=[[1,0,0]]

But when I try to run the initial_response method, I get an error:

t, y_ol = control.initial_response(sys,t,X0=[100,0,0])

Failure to assume argument is matrix-like in _convertToStateSpace,
result setting an array element with a sequence.

It sounds like somehow control.initial_response doesn't recognize sys is ss
or that it is simo.

Am I doing something wrong?  How should I proceed?

Thanks,
