Thanks Pierre, For some reason
'formats':[eval(b) for b in event_format] didn't work, but as you said should it fail try dtype([(x,eval(b)) for (x,b) in zip(event_fields, event_format)]) which seems to be working. Interestingly before when I had typed this out by hand, both using tuples and a dictionary seemed to work as they should.
