Is there a way to get a Description from a numpy dtype?
I'm working on a class that aggregates a bunch of identical Tables (one
for each day) and to create them, I was going to have the user pass in a
dtype, and determine the description from that. (I plan on most users
to pass the data into the writer as numpy.arrays of structured records.)
The File.createTable currently does it through the Table._descrFromRA
method. That logic suits my needs fine, except it requires a Table
instance for the setting of the byte order. (Ideally it wouldn't
require an array, but just a dtype, but I can always make an empty array
of length one to pass in.) Is there any plans to make a freestanding
version of this function or should I just copy the logic?
I'm using version 2.1.2.
