------------------------------------------------------------------------ PEP: Title: Adding data-type objects to the standard library Attributes kind -- returns the basic "kind" of the data-type. The basic kinds are: 't' - bit, 'b' - bool, 'i' - signed integer, 'u' - unsigned integer, 'f' - floating point, 'c' - complex floating point, 'S' - string (fixed-length sequence of char), 'U' - fixed length sequence of UCS4, Shouldn't this read "fixed length sequence of Unicode" ?! The underlying code unit format (UCS2 and UCS4) depends on the Python version.
Well, in NumPy 'U' always means UCS4. So, I just copied that over. See my questions at the bottom which talk about how to handle this. A data-format does not necessarily have to correspond to something Python represents with an Object.
