[Another message sent from unsubscribed address] Briant,
What `read` and `readSorted` is specifically called an 'structured array'. Formerly, there was not a clear difference between 'structured arrays' and 'record arrays', but now there is, so yeah, it is a good idea to change references in doc from 'record arrays' to 'structured arrays'. Created ticket: http://pytables.org/trac/ticket/313 And yes, an index for docs should be really great (help would be welcome!). Added a ticket too: http://pytables.org/trac/ticket/314 Thanks for the suggestions. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- De: "David Briant" <david.bri...@tradingroomassociates.com> A: pytables-users@lists.sourceforge.net Data: Ahir 13:40:26 The documentation seems to imply that read, readSorted will return a record array and whereas in fact they return an ndarray. It took me a little while this morning to figure out that I was getting back a different type than I expected. Don't mind getting back an ndarray as it is easy to convert to a recarray. My intention was to flag that the documentation appears to be different from the code. Also, it would be great to have an index to the documentation at some point. I'm trying to figure out if I've misunderstood the idea of "flavour" but I can't find where it is defined or used.
