[Numpy-discussion] arr.dtype.kind is 'i' for dtype=unit !?

Ack!  That was on the wrong machine (32-bit Debian).  Here is the 64-bit 
version:

In [2]: arr=N.arange(10,dtype=N.uint)

In [3]: arr.dtype.kind
Out[3]: 'u'

In [4]: arr.dtype.itemsize
Out[4]: 8

In [5]: arr=N.arange(10,dtype=N.long)

In [6]: arr.dtype.kind
Out[6]: 'i'

In [7]: arr.dtype.itemsize
Out[7]: 8

Sorry about that,

Scott
