Aha, I see. Unfortunately that detail is not in the docstrings. This is a pretty fundamental limitation of the function, I think, since it is rare that a multi-column table of data will be of the same type. I wonder if it would be possible to allow an 'obj' type array that could be transposed? The way it is now, you have a 1d array representing what is fundamentally 2d information. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
