How do I convert the numpy record array below: recs = [('Bill', 31, 260.0), ('Fred', 15, 145.0)] r = rec.fromrecords(recs, names='name, age, weight', formats='S30, i2, f4') to a list of dictionary like: [{'name': 'Bill', 'age': 31, 'weight': 260.0}, 'name': 'Fred', 'age': 15, 'weight': 145.0}]
Assuming that your record array is only 1D: In [6]: r.dtype.names Out[6]: ('name', 'age', 'weight') In [7]: names = r.dtype.names In [8]: [dict(zip(names, record)) for record in r] Out[8]: [{'age': 31, 'name': 'Bill', 'weight': 260.0}, {'age': 15, 'name': 'Fred', 'weight': 145.0}] -- 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
