Hi everyone -
Recarrays have convenience attributes such that
fields may be accessed through "." in additioin to
the "field()" method. These attributes are designed for
read only; one cannot alter the data through them.
Yet they are writeable:
>>> tr=numpy.recarray(10, formats='i4,f8,f8', names='id,ra,dec')
>>> tr.field('ra')[:] = 0.0
>>> tr.ra
array([ 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.])
>>> tr.ra = 3
>>> tr.ra
3
>>> tr.field('ra')
array([ 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.])
I feel this should raise an exception, just as with trying to write
to the "size" attribute. Any thoughts?
Erin
