Hi,
Over on the scipy list, someone pointed out an oddness in the output
of the matlab reader, which revealed this - to me - unexpected
behavior in numpy:
In [20]: dt = np.dtype('f8')
In [21]: dt.isbuiltin
Out[21]: 1
In [22]: ndt = dt.newbyteorder('<')
In [23]: ndt.isbuiltin
Out[23]: 0
I was expecting the 'isbuiltin' attribute to be the same (1) after
byte swapping. Does that seem reasonable to y'all? Then, is this a
bug?
Thanks a lot,
Matthew
