It's O.K. I don't think many people are used to the fortran-order stuff. So, I doubt it's obvious. > For example, here is 0,1,2,3 as int32 > > str = '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00' > > What is the best way of me putting this into a 2x2 array object so > that the array recognizes the data is in fortran order.

However, you can use the ndarray creation function itself to do what you want: a = ndarray(shape=(2,2), dtype=int32, buffer=str, order='F') This will use the memory of the string as the new array memory. -Travis ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
