Hi Torgil,
strange, I don't have the same error:
########################################
|~|[2]>array(['2'],dtype=float32)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
exceptions.ValueError Traceback (most recent
call last)
/home/lionel/<ipython console>
ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence.
########################################
I don't understand why there is not an automatic casting, because using astype
works:
########################################
|~|[3]>a=array(['2'])
|~|[4]>a
Out [4]:
array(['2'], dtype='|S1')
|~|[5]>a.astype(float32)
Out [5]:array([ 2.], dtype=float32)
########################################
Another strange thing, if I use floats instead of strings values, but set them
in a list of list instead of a list of tuple, I get the same error as in my
previous post:
########################################
|~|[7]>b=array([(datetime.datetime(2006,11,29),2,3),
(datetime.datetime(2006,11,30),5,6)], dtype=[('Dates', 'object'),
('HUM', 'float32'), ('TEM', 'float32')])
|~|[8]>b
Out [8]:
array([(datetime.datetime(2006, 11, 29, 0, 0), 2.0, 3.0),
(datetime.datetime(2006, 11, 30, 0, 0), 5.0, 6.0)],
dtype=[('Dates', '|O4'), ('HUM', '<f4'), ('TEM', '<f4')])
|~|[9]>b=array([[datetime.datetime(2006,11,29),2,3],
[datetime.datetime(2006,11,30),5,6]], dtype=[('Dates', 'object'),
('HUM', 'float32'),('TEM', 'float32')])
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
exceptions.ValueError Traceback (most recent
call last)
/home/lionel/<ipython console>
ValueError: tried to set void-array with object members using buffer.
########################################
Is it expected ?
