[Numpy-discussion] Minimum dtype

[Ryan May]

Hi,

I'm running on a 64-bit machine, and see the following:

 >numpy.array(64.6).dtype
dtype('float64')

 >numpy.array(64).dtype
dtype('int64')

Is there any function/setting to make these default to 32-bit types 
except where necessary? I don't mean by specifying dtype=numpy.float32 
or dtype=numpy.int32.

Ryan
