I'm actually not sure, why. I think the issue is making sure that the release manager can actually "build" NumPy without having to buy a particular compiler. But, I would rather have official builds of NumPy for all platforms with a compiler paid for by a NumPy-sponsor than not have them.

[Numpy-discussion] Difference between np.loadtxt depending on whether you supply a file object or a filename

2012-08-20 Thread Andrew Nelson
Dear list, I observe a difference when I try to load a 2D numpy array from a file object compared to if I supply a filename viz: >>> np.version.version '1.5.1' >>> f=open('fit_theoretical.txt') >>> a=np.loadtxt(f) >>> a.shape (1000,) >>> a=np.loadtxt('fit_theoretical.txt') >>> a.shape (500, 2) Th
