I'm still a bit confused. The dtype is a PyTypeObject? It almost sounds like you're saying that the dtype is an PyObject instance, rather than a TypeObject. But IIUC, you say it is a PyTypeObject, but one with an extract dict attached (which kindof acts like an instance). _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
