If ``atype`` is the dtype passed in by the user and ``adesc`` is the description of an existing table, wouldn't ``atype == adesc._v_dtype`` do the trick? dtypes can be compared for structural and field name equality, and according to the documentation of ``Description``: _v_dtype The NumPy type which reflects the structure of this table or nested column. You can use this as the ``dtype`` argument of NumPy array factories. Cheers, :: Ivan Vilata i Balaguer -- http://ivan.lovesgazpacho.net/
