[Numpy-discussion] convert FORTRAN exponential format text to float

[David Froger]

program write_txt

real(kind=8):: x

open(10,file='data.txt')

do i = 1,10
    x = i*2.
    write(10,fmt='(2(D12.3))') x,x**2
enddo

close(10)

end program write_txt



In [1]: x,y = loadtxt('data.txt',unpack=True)

vals)]))

Maybe the the arguments 'converters' of loadtxt can help?
