But, you can fix this in two ways:
1) a.flags.writeable = True --- This is a cheat that avoids the extra copy on pickle-load and let's you use strings as writeable buffers. Don't abuse it. It will disappear once Python 3k has a proper bytes type. 2) a = a.copy() -Travis ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
