Sorry maybe I phrased my question wrongly. I don't want to change the code (This was just a short example). I just want to know why it is failing on his system and what he can do so that a.view(dtype='...') is working. I suspected it was an old numpy installation but the person is saying that he installed a new version and is still seeing the same problem (or does he just have an old version of numpy floating around).
