If array fields should be of the form (name,subdtype, shape), how do I specify field offsets? My datatype is word-aligned.
With dtype(some_list), you need to explicitly include the padding. E.g. ('', '|V4') to add 4 bytes of padding. Alternately, you can use dtype(some_dict): dtype(dict( names=['x', 'y'], formats=['u1', ('u1', (2,2))], offsets=[0, 4], )) -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
