Of course. Your int64's are in the same byte order as your float64's. The hex representation is not supposed to be the sequence of nybbles in memory, but the integer in human base-16 notation, which is always big-endian. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
