[Numpy-discussion] at my wits end over an error message...

[Alan Jackson]

I been beating myself up over this bit of code for far too long now - I
know I must be missing something really simple, but what is it?

TYPICALLY_UINT_COLUMNS = ['Track', 'Bin', 'code', 'horizon']
......
        dtypes = [ ]
        for i in range(0, len(self.var_list)) :
            if TYPICALLY_UINT_COLUMNS.count(self.var_list[i]) > 0:
                dtypes.append((self.var_list[i], '<i8'))
            else :
                dtypes.append((self.var_list[i], '<f8'))
        print "dtypes = ", dtypes
        print outdata[0]
        outdata = np.array(outdata, dtype=dtypes)

dtypes =  [('Track', '<i8'), ('Bin', '<i8'), ('Depth', '<f8'), ('extrema', '<f8'), ('code', '<i8'), ('horizon', '<i8')]
(345, 615, 4826.0, 470.588012695, 47, 636)
