numpy.dtype.descr — NumPy v2.2 Manual (original) (raw)

attribute

dtype.descr#

__array_interface__ description of the data-type.

The format is that required by the ‘descr’ key in the___array_interface___ attribute.

Warning: This attribute exists specifically for __array_interface__, and passing it directly to numpy.dtype will not accurately reconstruct some dtypes (e.g., scalar and subarray dtypes).

Examples

import numpy as np x = np.dtype(float) x.descr [('', '<f8')]

dt = np.dtype([('name', np.str_, 16), ('grades', np.float64, (2,))]) dt.descr [('name', '<U16'), ('grades', '<f8', (2,))]
