[Numpy-discussion] TypeError when writing .data with python 2.5.1

The following works fine with a python 2.4.3 installation, but with 2.5.1 I get: In [1]:import numpy In [2]:fid = file( '/tmp/tfile', 'w' ) In [3]:fid.write( numpy.zeros( 55 ).data ) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last) /home/gmabey/src/R9619_dev_acqlibweb/Projects/R9619_NChannelDetection/NED/<ipython console> in <module>() : non-character (or 8-bit) array cannot be interpreted as character buffer

<ipython console>(1)<module>()

I haven't tried it with python 2.5 Glen
