I've been working with pyfits, which uses numpy chararrays. I've discovered the hard way that chararrays silently remove trailing whitespace:
>>> a = np.array(['a ']) >>> b = a.view(np.chararray) >>> a[0] 'a ' >>> b[0] 'a' Note the string values stored in memory are unchanged. This behaviour caused a bug in a program I've been writing, and seems like a bad idea in general. Is it intentional?
