Is the issue here that this is a slightly different meaning than the "dtype" argument everywhere else? Frankly, that doesn't bother me -- it is a superset of the functionality, is it not? Though I guess I don't really understand quite what the difference is between a subtype and a data-type. Or a type object vs. a datatype object. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
