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') Gary On Tue, Jun 21, 2011 at 6:22 PM, Ben Forbes <bdfor...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > On my system (Intel Xeon, Windows 7 64-bit), ndarray.tofile() outputs > in little-endian.
