An array of a "list" of names.

[spencer]

Hi,
I'm using NumPy to build an array of a
list of names that will be of multiple
dimensions.I did do a google on this 
subject, but couldn't find what I was looking
for. The problem I'm having is there are 
space between each character in each name.
To fix this
I used the attribute 'tostring'. This did
remove the spaces but now I got to walk
the string to rebuild the array with
each name being a list.Is there an
easier way? If so, how?
TIA
