If you do this, one useful aim could be to design the code such that it can be used in loadtxt, at least as a fast path for common cases. I'd really like to avoid increasing the number of APIs for text file loading. -- Pauli Virtanen _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
