              I just ran into this rather weird behavior:<br>

              In summary, as far as I can tell, shuffle is misbehaving
              when acting<br>
              on arrays that have structured dtypes. I've seen the
              problem on 1.7.1<br>
              (official on ubuntu 13.04) as well as master as of a few
              minutes ago.<br>
              <br>
              Is this my misuse? It really looks like a bug to me...<br>

    Looks to stemming from the fact that elements of records arrays
    cannot be swapped:<br>
    <br>
    In [1]: import numpy as np<br>
    <br>
    In [2]: x = np.zeros(5, dtype=[('n', 'S1'), ('i', int)])<br>
    <br>
    In [3]: x['i'] = range(5)<br>
    <br>
    In [4]: print x<br>
    [('', 0) ('', 1) ('', 2) ('', 3) ('', 4)]<br>
    <br>
    In [5]: x[0], x[1] = x[1], x[0]<br>
    <br>
    In [6]: print x<br>
    [('', 1) ('', 1) ('', 2) ('', 3) ('', 4)]<br>
    <br>
    This is with numpy 1.7.1<br>
