I think you need to specify NPY_LONG instead of NPY_INT -- the NPY_INT is 
IIRC sort of a "virtual type" that you can use when creating arrays, but 
no array is ever of type NPY_INT, since it maps to either NPY_LONG or 
whatever the C "int" type happens to be.

Maybe someone can correct me here, but AFAIK it goes like so.
