In trying to upgrade NumPy within Sage, we notices some differences in behavior between 1.5 and 1.6. In particular, in 1.5, we have
sage: f = 0.5 sage: f.__array_interface__ {'typestr': '=f8'} sage: numpy.array(f) array(0.5) sage: numpy.array(float(f)) array(0.5)
In 1.6, we get the following,
sage: f = 0.5 sage: f.__array_interface__ {'typestr': '=f8'} sage: numpy.array(f) array(0.500000000000000, dtype=object)
This seems to be do to the changes in PyArray_FromAny introduced in https://github.com/mwhansen/numpy/commit/2635398db3f26529ce2aaea4028a8118844... . In particular, _array_find_type used to be used to query our __array_interface__ attribute, and it no longer seems to work. Is there a way to get the old behavior with the current code?
No idea. If you want to spend the time to fix this properly, you could implement PEP 3118 and use that instead to export your array data (which can be done from Cython using __getbuffer__ on a Cython class).
