If you have an example data-file, send it to me off-list and I'll figure out what to do. Maybe it is as simple as
np.core.ma = np.oldnumeric.ma
Yes, pretty much. We've put ma.py into numpy.core where ma.py is nothing more than:
import numpy.oldnumeric.ma as ma
class MaskedArray(ma.MaskedArray): pass
It works, but becomes a bit of a headache because we now have to maintain our own numpy package so that all the developers get these three lines when they install numpy.
Did you try changing the pickled data? IIRC you could simply search&replace, since the class name is at the beginning of the representation in clear text. (I see that this a hack, too but it saves you from having to maintain your own numpy.) HTH, Hans
