dtype string such as 'uint8' or a dtype object. I know I can possibly
do np.array(scalar, dtype=dtype)[()] but I was looking for a less
hacky method. Apparently the `dtype` object has the attribute `type`
that creates objects of that dtype. For example, In [30]: a Out[30]:
array([ 1., 2., 3.]) In [31]: dt = a.dtype In [32]: dt Out[32]:
dtype('float64') In [33]: x = dt.type(8675309) # Convert the scalar to
a's dtype. In [34]: x Out[34]: 8675309.0 In [35]: type(x) Out[35]:

something and this might be a very stupid and redundant question, but
is there a way to cast a scalar to a given dtype? Hameer
