It's funny though because that part (the parsing) actually seems to work.
However I've been playing a bit with his example and indeed I can't get
numpy to return a complex array. It keeps resulting in an "object" dtype.
The only way I found was to convert it temporarily into a list to recast it
in complex64, adding the line:
b = np.array(map(list, b), dtype=np.complex64)
