So this is giving us a 64 bit int--not a bad compromise, but not a python long--I've got to wonder why the alias is there at all.
It is there because you can't remove it :).
sure we could -- not that we'd want to....
So while np.long is an alias to python long--it apparently is translated internally as 64 bit -- everywhere?
Not sure how a python long is translated...
The big mystery!
An np.int_ is a platform long, since the python ints are C longs. It is a bit weird naming, but it is transparent. Check http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-dev/reference/arrays.scalars.html#built-in-s...
cool, thanks.
you got everything platform dependend there really. `intc` is an int, `int_` is a long, and you got `longlong`, as well as `intp` which is an ssize_t, etc.
great, thanks. That's helpful. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
