Hi, I was gaily using np.longlong for casting to the highest available float type when I noticed this:
In [4]: np.array([2.1], dtype=np.longlong) Out[4]: array([2], dtype=int64) whereas: In [5]: np.array([2.1], dtype=np.float128) Out[5]: array([ 2.1], dtype=float128) This on OSX snow leopard numpies 1.2 .1 -> current devel and OSX tiger PPC recent devel. I had the impression that np.float128 and np.longlong would be identical in behavior - but I guess not?
