[SciPy-User] fread/fwrite and fromfile

[Wernher Brevis]

Hello,

I recently updated scipy and numpy. I tried to run a script that
contains the following lines:

        from scipy.io.numpyio import fwrite, fread
        import numpy as np


        fid = open(filename, 'r')
        nx = fread(fid,1,'d')
        ny = fread(fid,1,'d')
        x = fread(fid, nx*ny, 'd')
        y = fread(fid, nx*ny, 'd')
        u = fread(fid, nx*ny, 'd')
        v = fread(fid, nx*ny, 'd')


What is the best way to rewrite these using the io tools available in
numpy, e.g. fromfile?

Thank you in advance,

Wernher
