[Numpy-discussion] bug is arr.real for byteswapped array

[Sebastian Haase]

Hi,
probably related to this is that
arr[2].real is read-only ...

I noticed that you cannot assign 
to arr[2].real :

>>> a[2].real =6
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: attribute 'real' of 'genericscalar' objects is not writable
>>> a.real[2] =6
>>> 
>>> a[2].real.flags
  CONTIGUOUS : True
  FORTRAN : True
  OWNDATA : True
  WRITEABLE : False
  ALIGNED : True
  UPDATEIFCOPY : False
>>> a.real[2].flags
 <snipped unchanged fields>
  WRITEABLE : False
>>> 
>>> a.real.flags
  CONTIGUOUS : False
  FORTRAN : False
  OWNDATA : False
  WRITEABLE : True
>>> a[2].flags
  CONTIGUOUS : True
  FORTRAN : True
  OWNDATA : True
  WRITEABLE : False
  ALIGNED : True
  UPDATEIFCOPY : False

Is the "not writable" restriction necessary ?

Thanks,
Sebastian Haase
