That's just what asfarray is designed to do. If you don't give it a dtype, it uses float64. Changing it would be a redesign of the function that may break code. The amount of code is probably minimal, so I'm only -0 on changing it. -- 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 Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
