Hey Sheldon

With NumPy you can use dtype's newbyteorder method to convert any dtype's byte order to an order you specify:

In [1]: import numpy as N In [2]: x = N.array([1],dtype='<i4') In [3]: y = N.array([1],dtype='>i4') In [4]: xle = N.asarray(x, dtype=x.dtype.newbyteorder('<')) In [5]: yle = N.asarray(y, dtype=y.dtype.newbyteorder('<'))

In [6]: x.dtype Out[6]: dtype('<i4')

In [7]: y.dtype Out[7]: dtype('>i4')

In [8]: xle.dtype Out[8]: dtype('<i4')

In [9]: yle.dtype Out[9]: dtype('<i4')

Regards,

Albert

Hi, Can someone give a brief example of the Numeric function LittleEndian? I have written two separate functions to read binary data that can be either LittleEndian or BigEndian (using byteswapped() ) but it would be great with just one function.
