Hi Ben,
based on this example
<https://bitbucket.org/lannybroo/numpyio/src/a6191c989804/numpyIO.py>
I suspect the way to do it is with numpy.byteswap() and numpy.tofile()
>From 
><http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.ndarray.byteswap.html>
we can do

>>> A = np.array([1, 256, 8755], dtype=np.int16)
>>> map(hex, A)
['0x1', '0x100', '0x2233']
>>> A.tofile('a_little.bin')
>>> A.byteswap(True)
array([  256,     1, 13090], dtype=int16)
>>> map(hex, A)
['0x100', '0x1', '0x3322']
>>> A.tofile('a_big.bin')
