This is what PyArray_FromDimsAndData was for, and I believe it is fairly heavily used.
That's good to know. I was just discussing with Perry how to expand the C-API to support this stuff. Perhaps we don't have to.
So is there an equivalent NA_FromDimsAndData?
No. I was making the mistake of thinking there needed to be.
I have been using PyArray_FromDimsAndData.
That's fine and should basically work.
Between numarray and Numeric there is currently the not-so-subtle
difference that numarray copies the external data buffer and Numeric
just refers to it.
This is a documented difference, but my vote is for changing in favor
of better functionality and Numeric compatibility. I'll probably just
quietly change it unless there is a deluge of dissenters...
