Hi. I'm trying to use NumPy's chararray class for an array of characters. I notice that when I try to set a chararray element to a space, it actually gets set to an empty string. I found some pages online indicating that the chararray strips trailing whitespace from its values.

You should ask numpy questions on the numpy mailing list.

I am really, really, hoping this is not a hard-coded, unalterable behavior. Is there a way to get NumPy chararray to include the characters I tell it to, without modificiation?

Sure. Just subclass chararray and redefine __getitem__ to do what you want.
