[Numpy-discussion] record array question

[Russell E. Owen]

Is it straightforward to generate a record array (preferably a standard 
numpy.ndarray, not the numpy.rec variant) where some named fields 
contain pairs of numbers, for example:

named field pos contains pairs of floats
named field rot contains floats

Any pointers to relevant documentation would be appreciated. I found a 
basic intro to record arrays on the scipy web site (which was quite 
useful for generating simple record arrays), and the numpy book has a 
bit of info, but I've not found anything very comprehensive.
