[Numpy-discussion] indexing recarrays

[John [H2O]]

I have a file containing mixed data types: strings, floats, datetime
output(i.e. strings), and ints. Something like:

#ID, name, date, value
1,sample,2008-07-10 12:34:20,344.56

Presuming I get them nicely into a recarray (see my other  
http://www.nabble.com/recarray-and-datetime-objects-td24568340.html post )
then I would like to work with them using the convention that I have become
used to:

D[:,0] #means D for all rows, column 0

But it seems now I have to use:

D['columnID']

Am I missing something, or is there a way to keep referencing columns by the
column integer index??

Thanks!


On another note... are recarrays and structured arrays the same??
