[Numpy-discussion] How to merge or SQL join record arrays in Python?

[Wei Su]

Hi, Pierre:
 
Thanks for the reply. I can now actually turn a big list into a record array. My question is actually how to join related record arrays in Python. This is done in SAS by MERGE and PROC SQL and by merge() in R. But I have no idea how to do it in Python.
 
Thanks.

That depends what you want, actually, ut this should get you started
http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/user/basics.rec.html

Note the slight difference between a structured array (fields  
accessible as items) and a recarray (fields accessible as items and  
attributes).
