I am trying to read a large amount of data that is output in scientific
notation using D instead of E. After searching around I found a thread that
implied numpy already has the capability to do this:

it's still working with numpy 1.4.0
maybe this is a python feature with python builtin float:
Thank you for the replies. It must be because I am using python on OSX. Is

well, sort of -- it's pre-processed first, to add some

Eh, what? numpy.float is Python's float. No numpy features at all.
my mistake -- I guess I assumed that numpy.float was an alias for
numpy.float64.
anyway, the (all?) the numpy dtypes have their own implementation of
conversion from strings (which are a bit buggy,
