[Numpy-discussion] Linux to Windows porting question

[Daniel Sheltraw]

Hello NumPy Listees

I am trying to port some code to Windows that works fine 
under Linux. The offending line
is:

     blk = fromstring(f_fid.read(BLOCK_LEN), 
num_type).byteswapped().astype(Float32).tostring()

The error I get is:

     ValueError: string size must be a multiple of element 
size

Does anyone have an idea where the problem might be? 
BLOCK_LEN is specified in bytes
and num_type is Int32.

Thanks,
Daniel
