In converting some code from numarray to numpy I had this: isBigendian = (arr.isbyteswapped() != numarray.isBigEndian) The only numpy version I've come up with is: isBigEndian = (arr.dtype.descr[0][1][0] == '>') which is short but very obscure. Has anyone got a suggestion for a clearer test? I found lots of *almost* useful flags and methods. -- Russell
