I've downloaded the latest numpy (1.6.0) and loadtxt has the ndmin option, however neither genfromtxt nor recfromtxt, which use loadtxt, have it. Should they have inherited the option? Who can make it happen?
you are mistaken, genfromtxt is not using loadtxt (and could not possibly, since it has the more complex parser to handle missing data); thus ndmin could not be inherited automatically. It certainly would make sense to provide the same functionality for genfromtxt (which should then be inherited by [nd,ma,rec]fromtxt), so I'd go ahead and file a feature (enhancement) request. I can't promise I can take care of it myself, as I am less familiar with genfromtxt, but I'd certainly have a look at it. Does anyone have an opinion whether this is a case for reopening (yet again...) http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1562 or create a new ticket? Cheers, Derek
