I get the same thing. Note: In [86]: U[0].shape Out[86]: () it's a rank-zero array, not a 4X4 array -- some odd tings can happen there... This works: In [94]: U = np.zeros(1, dtype=[('x', np.float32, (4,4))]) In [95]: U['x'][0] = np.eye(4) In [96]: U Out[96]: array([ ([[1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]],)], dtype=[('x', '<f4', (4, 4))]) Not that the first version isn't a bug! -- 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 chris.bar...@noaa.gov _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
