I don't know how to generalize this to n-d though -- maybe numpy.vectorize?

Oops! Looks like there's a big somewhere: In [1]: from numpy import * In [2]: vectorize(lambda x: "%5.3g" % x)(ones((2,2,2))) Out[2]: array([[[' ', '\xc1'], [' ', '\xc1']], [[' ', '\xc1'], [' ', '\xc1']]], dtype='|S1') In [3]: vectorize? Segmentation fault (core dumped) In particular, vectorize creates a string array (rather than an object array), and some unsafe operation is done on that array. Anne
