Actually -- it seems like view() doesn't work with strided arrays at all. (?) In : a = numpy.ones((4,32), dtype=numpy.uint8) In : a.view(numpy.uint16).shape Out: (4, 16) In : a[:,:16].view(numpy.uint16) ValueError: new type not compatible with array. I think this might be a recent regression, because before I updated my numpy installation to the latest SVN version (to check if the bug was fixed!), I'm pretty sure this kind of operation worked.
