[Numpy-discussion] record array with array elements

[Igor Sylvester]

Everyone,

Shouldn't the itemsize below be 2?

>>> import numpy as np
>>> dtype = np.dtype( [ (((2,), 'top'), [('nested', 'i1')]) ] )
>>> dtype.itemsize
1
>>> np.__version__
'1.0.4'

The elements of the dtype are of type array of size 2.  Each element is a
(nested) record array of size 2 with one field of type 'i1'.  In contiguous
memory, this should look identical to an 'i1' array of size 2.
