-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to the manual there is a typecode 'Character'. But the following program gives an error: ,---- | import Numeric as num | data = num.array([1,2,3], num.Character) `---- ,---- | Traceback (most recent call last): | File "<stdin>", line 2, in ? | AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Character' `---- This is python-2.2, latest NumPy cvs. The following line fixes that. Any reason that isn't in there?

That is with Netscape-4.7 and Mozilla-0.9.7 on Linux and Win2000. PPS: What format is the manual master deocument in?
