Thanks. No, it's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the code that parses the string "f8' '=f4' 'float32' '>c16' ... Ideally, I want the exhaustive list of valid input strings that describe standard ndarrays (i.e. ndarrays with simple entries as opposed to records or subarrays). Lacking

Hi all, is there a spec or grammar for valid values of numpy dtype descriptor strings? I am writing code to parse ".npy" files from Java and want to be able to handle the range of ndarray descriptor strings. I came across this code: dtype = numpy.dtype(d['descr']) at line 267 in format.py:

Hi, numpy extensions are linked against python27.dll. I have no idea, if it works to copy python27.dll side by side to python27_d.dll (I guess not). But you can try it anyway. The clean way is to get or compile a debug numpy version linked against python27_d.dll Regards Carll 2014-07-03 12:51

Hi, to trace this error, you can try to run your programm with the dependency walker http://www.dependencywalker.com/ . In the menu there is a profiling option. With 'Start profiling' you get messages of all accesses to DLLs and Python extensions. Most likely a DLL is not found. Be aware: for 64bi

numpy descends into the lists even if you request a object dtype as it treats object arrays containing nested lists of equal size as ndimensional: np.array([[1,2], [3,4]], dtype=object).ndim 2 I don't think we have a constructor that limits the maximum dimension, only one the minimum dimension. I
