Hello, the following code raises a ValueError on Python 3, but works as expected with Python 2:
>>> import sys, numpy >>> fd = open(sys.executable, 'rb') >>> numpy.rec.array(fd, dtype=[('_', 'b')]) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\records.py", line 799, in array raise ValueError("Unknown input type") ValueError: Unknown input type The problem seems to be the test for file objects in numpy/compat/py3k.py: def isfileobj(f): return isinstance(f, io.FileIO) If this is updated to include _io.BufferedReader, the type of `fd`, numpy.rec.array works with file objects opened in 'rb' mode: def isfileobj(f): return isinstance(f, (io.FileIO, io._io.BufferedReader)) Tested with numpy 1.6.0 on Windows.
