[AstroPy] Access to compressed data in FITS file.

I had already looked at it (sect 7.4.1 and 7.4.2  deals with compressed data), 
but what puzzles me is that the ouput of their series of command has nothing 
to do with mine.

For instance, my f.info() give me the following :
In [20]: f.info()
Filename: file.fitz
No.    Name         Type      Cards   Dimensions   Format
0    PRIMARY     PrimaryHDU      68  (0,)          uint8
1                BinTableHDU     36  2032R x 3C    ['1PB(1291)', '1D', '1D']
2                BinTableHDU     36  2032R x 3C    ['1PB(1273)', '1D', '1D']
3                BinTableHDU     36  2032R x 3C    [1PB(1264), 1D, 1D]
4                BinTableHDU     36  2032R x 3C    [1PB(1271), 1D, 1D]


And their f[1].data output is different from mine in the sense that they do not 
have a FITS_rec (at least that's my understanding) but directly the 
numpy.array

So I wonder what my file is !
