"t = np.dtype('enum', map=(n,v))" ^ Is this supposed to be indicating 'this is an enum with values ranging between n and v'? It could be a bit more clear. Is it possible to partially define an enum? That is, give the maximum and minimum values, and only some of the enumeration value:name mappings? For example, an enum where 0 means 'n/a', +n means 'Type A Object #(n-1)' and -n means 'Type B Object #(abs(n) - 1)'. I just want to map the non-scalar values, while having a way to avoid treating valid scalar values (eg +64) as out-of-range. Example of what I mean: "t = np.dtype('enum[N_A:0]', range = (-127, 127))" (defined values being printed as a string, undefined being printed as a number.)
