Thanks for pointing out the discussion. This is an oversight. The dtypes should not compare equal if the subarrays don't match.
If the patch looks OK, then we should accept it.
Another issue from the thread where you might want to chip in:
x = np.zeros((2, 3), dtype=[('a', 'f8', (4,))]) x.T['a'].shape (4, 3, 2) x.T.copy()['a'].shape (3, 2, 4)
Fortran-order is special-cased. We might want to change this to work like so:
x.T['a'].shape (3, 2, 4)
which is more predictable. -- Pauli Virtanen
