[C++-sig] extracting a numpy.int32 type

[Nathan Huesken]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

But still something, I would like to understand:

If I want to convert numpy.float64 -> double, it works without problems.
If I want to convert numpy.int32 -> int, I seem to need to register a
new converte ...

Why is this?

Thanks!
Nathan
