Folks, I'd like to dump/pickle some record arrays. The pickling works, the unpickling raises a ValueError (on my version of numpy 0.9.6). (cf below). Is this already corrected in the svn version ? Thx

This is fixed in SVN (but you have to get more than just the SVN records.py script). The needed change is in the __reduce__ method of

I'm newbie moving from numarray and I also get this error. I tried svn records.py with the same result. Any hope in getting it fixed? The error can be reproduce from the source example:
