true, but there isn't any single method for loading n lines of a file into a StringIO object, either. I"ve always thought that file.readlines() should take a number of rows as an optional parameter. not a big deal, now that we have list comprehensions, but still it would be nice, and it makes sense to put it into loadtxt() for sure. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
