<p class="MsoNormal" style="">This is expected on a 64-bit platform. Note that <a href="http://numpy.int" target="_blank">
numpy.int</a> is just an<br>
alias for the builtin int type for backwards compatibility with an<br>
earlier version of numpy. We could probably remove it, since it seems<br>
to be causing more confusion than not.<br>
<br>
Anyways, we subclass the appropriately sized integer scalar type from<br>
Python's int type depending on the platform. So on a platform where<br>
Python's int type is 64-bits, numpy.int64 will include int in its<br>
inheritance tree. On platforms where the Python int type is 32-bit,<br>
numpy.int32 will include it instead.</p>

I'll just add that there is a numpy.integer class that is parent of both numpy.int32 and numpy.int64 (see
<a href="http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.scalars.html" target="_blank">
http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.scalars.html</a>). It's not a parent of
<a href="http://numpy.int" target="_blank">numpy.int</a> though, since as said above,
<a href="http://numpy.int" target="_blank">numpy.int</a> is an alias to the builtin int.<br>

numpy.floating would be the one for non-complex float types (and numpy.inexact the parent for both complex and non-complex). The class hierarchy is shown in the link I provided in my previous mail.<br>
