[Numpy-discussion] test_multiarray.test_clip fails on Solaris 8 system

[Christopher Hanley]

Hi Stefan,

This is what I get:
 >>> import sys
 >>> print sys.byteorder
big
 >>> import numpy as N
 >>> print 
N.array([1,2,3],N.dtype(N.int16).newbyteorder('<')).dtype.byteorder
<
 >>> print 
N.array([1,2,3],N.dtype(N.int16).newbyteorder('>')).dtype.byteorder
 >
 >>> print 
N.array([1,2,3],N.dtype(N.int16).newbyteorder('=')).dtype.byteorder
=
 >>>
