Hi Stéfan,
trying to anwer your question with a quick "arange" test, I ran into
more confusion:
>> a = N.arange(.5, dtype=">f")
>>> `a.dtype`
'dtype('float32')'
>>> a = N.arange(.5, dtype="<f")
>>> `a.dtype`
'dtype('float32')'
Both equal positively with N.float32 now !
>>> N.__version__
'1.0.1'
This is (was?) apparently a bug in arange
It works as expected with empty():
>>> N.empty(5, dtype=">f").dtype==N.float32
False
>>> N.empty(5, dtype="<f").dtype==N.float32
True
Cheers,
Sebastian
