> http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/routines.dtype.html#data-type-information yup, that does it, I hadn't found that, as I was expecting a more OO way, i.e. as a method of the dtype. Also, I need to know in advance if it's a int or a float, but I suppose you can't really do much without knowing that anyway. Actually, I'm a bit confused about dtypes from an OO design perspective anyway. I note that the dtypes seem to have all (most?) of the methods of ndarrays (or placeholders, anyway), which I don't quite get. oh well, I've found what I need, thanks. -Chris -- 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 [email protected] _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
