[SciPy-user] Record Array: How to add a column?

[Pierre GM]

John,
Could you give the SVN>=r5949  a try ? That fixes one of the problems you were 
describing in a previous email:
r2[0].date.year
The reason why it didn't work before was that a masked array was 
systematically returned in __getattribute__. Now, you'll get a masked array 
if the output has a shape (ie, not a single record), or if it's a single 
record with some mask fields.

Note that I'm not guaranteeing that you won't run into some problems again at 
one point or another...
