There is a need to byte-swap only when the data is stored on disk in the reverse order from the native machine (i.e. NumPy is pointing to memory-mapped data). The byte-swapping must be done prior to conversion to a Python Unicode-Object when selecting data out of the array. -Travis ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15540> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
