No, just seeing what sort of problems I can create. This case is partly based on if someone is using tab-delimited then they need to set the delimiter='\t' otherwise it gives an error. Also I often parse text files so, yes, you have to be careful of the delimiters. It is also arises because certain programs like spreadsheets there is the option to merge delimiters - actually in SAS it is default (you need to specify the DSD option).
Ahah! I get it. Well, I remmbr that we discussed something like that a few months ago when I started working on np.genfromtxt, and the default of *not* merging whitespaces was requested. I gonna check whether we can't put this option somewhere now...
Anyhow, I am really impressed on how this function works.
Thx. I hope things haven't been slowed down too much.
