I noticed that genfromtxt() did not skip comments if the keyword names is not True. If names is True, then genfromtxt() would take the first line as the names. I am proposing a fix to genfromtxt that skips all of the comments in a file, and potentially using the last comment line for names. This will allow reading files with and without comments and/or names.
The difference is here: https://github.com/arkottke/numpy/compare/my-genfromtxt Albert p.s. insert some disclaimer about my first pull request
