Hello, The attached .npy file was written from custom C++ code. It loads fine in Numpy 1.6.2 with Python 2.6 installed through MacPorts, but fails on a different machine with Numpy 2.0.0 installed via Superpack:
box:array% which python
/usr/bin/python
box:array% which python
box:array% python
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Aug 2 2010, 20:10:18)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin

It seems Numpy 2.0.0 no longer accepts dtype('d8'):
>>> dtype('d8')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: data type "d8" not understood
Was that intentional? An API change isn't too much of a problem, but
it's unfortunate if old data files are no longer easily readable.
Thanks,
Geoffrey
