[Numpy-discussion] numpy scalar types

[Sebastian Haase]

Hi,
I just ran a simple test which I think would be of general interest.
It's about types and what there names are in the numpy module
(and how many different names there are for a given type !!)
Cheers, Sebastian Haase
       (maybe there is a good place in the wiki for this !?)
 >>> N.csingle
<type 'complex64scalar'>
 >>> N.cdouble
<type 'complex128scalar'>
 >>> N.cfloat
<type 'complex128scalar'>

and all together !!
 >>> for tt in N.ScalarType:
...     l=[k for k,v in N.__dict__.iteritems() if v == tt]
...     print len(l), tt, l
...
