This is much like using np.array() if you want numpy arrays -- it works great. numpy is trickier because they are mutable and can be big, so you don't want to make a copy if you don't need to -- hence the np.asarray() function -- but Paths are immutable and far more lightweight. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
