Hi all, I'm _very_ new to NumPy. I was interested in using it for our project, where we acquire data from a CCD camera. The Problem: Each pixel in the image is a 16 bit gray value. What I read in the documentation - there is only 8 bit (unsigned integer) support in numpy (or should I say numericarray) Are there plans to add a "unsigned short" (16 bit) support . How much effort would that be.

There is a reimplemenation of Numeric that we are doing that does support unsigned ints (Unsigned Int8, Unsigned Int16 for now). The project is not mature, but a lot of basic cabability exists now. You'll have to look it over to judge if it is usable for you now. The new version is called numarray ( http://stsdas.stsci.edu/numarray ) (btw, we acquire data from CCD cameras as well ;-) Perry
