[Numpy-discussion] numpy loadtxt - ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence.

Hi,

I am trying to load a tsv file using numpy.loadtxt:

data = np.loadtxt('data.txt',delimiter='\t',dtype=np.float)

And I get: ----------------- /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/lib/io.pyc in loadtxt(fname, dtype, comments, delimiter, converters, skiprows, usecols, unpack) 503 X = X.view(dtype) 504 else: --> 505 X = np.array(X, dtype) 506 507 X = np.squeeze(X)

ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence.

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/lib/io.py(505)loadtxt()

504 else: --> 505 X = np.array(X, dtype) 506 ----------------

I am on archlinux using 1.3.0. The file contians integers and floats sperated by tabs.

Ideas?

Thanks! Nathan
