I'm not quite sure of having understood the problem, but please note
that ``read*()``ing from a table results in a NumPy record array, i.e.
an array where rows are of an heterogeneous, compound type (void type in
NumPy parlance). Even if your table only has one column, you will get
an array of this kind.
If you want to retrieve a single column from a ``read*()`` operation,
you may
a. pass the name of the column as the ``field`` argument to the
method, or
b. given the resulting NumPy array ``arr``, use ``arr['colname']``.
But remember, tables *always have a compound type*. Did I get the
problem (and the solution) right? ;)
