Hi,
why is
bool(np.dtype(np.float))
False
?
I came across this when using this python idiom:
def f(dtype=None):
if not dtype:
print 'using default dtype'
If there is no good reason to have a False truth value, I would vote for
making it True since that is what one would expect

The default truth value probably should be True,

I think you want:
if dtype is None:
fwiw,
