Thanks Danny! I realized that I should not be concerned with speed/efficiency since I am a beginner in python and giving the data I work with, speed is not that important now.
I am learning how to read files via several ways and transform them to numpy arrays. I just thought genfromtxt provides many options and one could use it to read and convert a file into 2d array with proper format; instead of reading it then format it. But genfromtxt gives byte strings which i could not convert to integer, float, string, etc. Thanks again--EKE _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
