[Numpy-discussion] fromfile for dtype=Int8

Hi everyone - The "fromfile" method isn't working for Int8 in ascii mode: # cat test.dat 3 4 5

...

...

import numpy as np np.__version__ '0.9.9.2547' np.fromfile('test.dat', sep='\n', dtype=np.Int16) array([3, 4, 5], dtype=int16) np.fromfile('test.dat', sep='\n', dtype=np.Int8) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ValueError: don't know how to read character files with that array type

Was this intended? Erin
