[Numpy-discussion] 'Advanced' save and restore operation

[Olivier Delalleau]

Note sure if there's a better way, but you can do it with some custom load
and save functions:

>>> with open('f.txt', 'w') as f:
...     f.write(str(x.dtype) + '\n')
...     numpy.savetxt(f, x)

>>> with open('f.txt') as f:
...     dtype = f.readline().strip()
...     y = numpy.loadtxt(f).astype(dtype)

I'm not sure how that'd work with structured arrays though. For the dict of
parameters you'd have to write your own load/save piece of code too if you
need a clean text file.
