[Numpy-discussion] datarray -- a couple of questions

[Ben Walsh]

Hi

I've been looking at various labelled-array packages, including Pandas 
(https://github.com/wesm/pandas) and datarray 
(https://github.com/fperez/datarray).

I was quite interested in the design discussion for datarray, and I had 
a couple of questions:

1) Is this mailing list the correct place to ask about this?

2) Pandas supports mixed data types (eg. one column of floats, another 
column of strings). Does the datarray prototype support this? Is it 
simply a case of using a numpy.ndarray with dtype='object'?

Cheers

Ben
