I've been trying to generate a 2-dimensional numarray.records array and am rather puzzled about some failures: I tried a pair of 2x2 arrays for the buffer (one per field). I thought the record would get its shape from those, but instead of a 2x2 record I get a 2-length record, each of whose elements is a pair of 2-length arrays. formats=['(2,)Float64', '(2,)Float64'], shape=2, names=['a', 'b']) So I tried passing in 4-length arrays while specifying the shape explicitly, but it failed. Is this a bug?: line 384, in array byteorder=byteorder, aligned=aligned) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/numarray/records.py", line 177, in fromarrays raise ValueError, "array has different lengths" ValueError: array has different lengths Generating a 4-length record and reshaping it does seem to work, though there seems to be a bug in __str__ which I'll report: line 718, in __repr__ outlist.append(Record.__str__(i)) TypeError: unbound method __str__() must be called with Record instance as first argument (got RecArray instance instead)

import numarray as num import numarray.records as rec a = rec.array(formats="Float64,Float64", names="a,b", shape=(2,2)) a Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/numarray/records.py",

I see the str problem again if I don't specify any buffer: line 718, in __repr__ outlist.append(Record.__str__(i)) TypeError: unbound method __str__() must be called with Record instance as first argument (got RecArray instance instead) So...comments? Should I report the shape issues as a bug? -- Russell
