Hi, how do I access the kind of the data from cython, i.e. the single character string:
'b' boolean 'i' (signed) integer 'u' unsigned integer 'f' floating-point 'c' complex-floating point 'O' (Python) objects 'S', 'a' (byte-)string 'U' Unicode 'V' raw data (void) In regular Python I can do: In [7]: d = np.dtype('S') In [8]: d.kind Out[8]: 'S' Looking at the definition of dtype that comes with cython, I see: ctypedef class numpy.dtype [object PyArray_Descr]: # Use PyDataType_* macros when possible, however there are no macros # for accessing some of the fields, so some are defined. Please # ask on cython-dev if you need more. cdef int type_num cdef int itemsize "elsize" cdef char byteorder cdef object fields cdef tuple names I.e. no kind. Also, i looked for an appropriate PyDataType_* macro but couldn't find one. Perhaps there is something simple I could use? best, V- _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
