Dear Michael,

Thank you for your feedback!

I've fixed the x86_64 typo.

I'll think how to reformulate the int32 part. I work on debian x86_64 and
windows 10 64bit. Constructing an array with np.array([1,2,3]) as well as
np.array([1,2,3], dtype=np.int_) gives me int64 dtype on linux, and int32
on windows.

As suggested by Matti, I've put the rst source (and images) into a separate
github repository

https://github.com/axil/numpy-data-types

PRs are welcome. My primary concern is to exclude serious typos/mistakes
that might mislead/harm the readers if used.

My personal preference is towards explicit width types like np.int32, but
from reading the docs I have a feeling there's a trend of migrating towards
the c-style notation.

Best regards,
Lev
