Did you read the docs?  According to
http://docs.scipy.org/numpy/docs/numpy.ndarray/#numpy-ndarray
the first argument to an ndarray constructor is the shape, and I suppose
arrays might be limited to 32 dimensions.  Anyway, I suggest that you
subscribe to one of the NumPy mailing lists and ask there:
