[Numpy-discussion] fortran representation

[lorenzo bolla]

Hi all,
I've got an easy question for you. I looked in Travis' book, but I couldn't
figure out the answer...

If I have an array1D (obtained reading a stream of numbers with
numpy.fromfile) like that:

In [150]: data
Out[150]: array([ 2.,  3.,  4.,  3.,  4.,  5.,  4.,  5.,  6.,  5.,  6.,
7.], dtype=float32)

I want it to be considered as "Fortran ordered", so that when I do:

In [151]: data.shape = (3,4)

I want to get:

array([[ 2.,  3.,  4.,  5.],
       [ 3.,  4.,  5.,  6.],
       [ 4.,  5.,  6.,  7.]], dtype=float32)

But I get:

array([[ 2.,  3.,  4.,  3.],
       [ 4.,  5.,  4.,  5.],
       [ 6.,  5.,  6.,  7.]], dtype=float32)

How can I do that?
(I know I could do data.reshape(4,3).T, but it's not very "elegant" and
reshaping in ND becomes a mess!).
(I tried with numpy.array(data, order = 'Fotran'), with no luck...)

Thank you in advance,
Lorenzo.
