Ah, got it. Thanks, Chris!
I thought recarray can be only one-dimensional (like tables with named columns).

Maybe it's better to ask directly what I was looking for: 
something that works like a table with named columns (but no labelling for 
rows), and keeps data (of different dtypes) in a column-by-column way (and this 
is numpy, not pandas). 

Is there such a magic thing?

Alex.
