[Numpy-discussion] A question about dtype syntax

[Jean-Baptiste Marquette]

Hi Pierre,

Thanks for the guess. Unfortunately, I got the same error:

[('bs3000k.cat', 280.60341, -7.09118, 9480, 0.2057, 0.14)]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/marquett/workspace/Distort/src/StatsSep.py", line 40, in <module>
    StatsAll = np.array(np.asarray(Stats), dtype=('a15, f8, f8, i4, f8, f8'))
ValueError: could not convert string to float: bs3000k.cat

The code is

Stats = [(CatBase, round(stats.mean(Data.Ra), 5), round(stats.mean(Data.Dec), 5), len(Sep), round(stats.mean(Sep),4), round(stats.stdev(Sep),4),)]
print Stats
if First:
    StatsAll = np.array(np.asarray(Stats), dtype=('a15, f8, f8, i4, f8, f8'))
    First = False
else: 
    StatsAll = np.vstack((StatsAll, np.asarray(Stats)))
    print len(StatsAll)

I tried various syntaxes, without success.

Cheers
JB
