 The next exposes the problem:

 {{{
 In [1]:import numpy
 In [2]:rows=[(0,)]
 In [3]:descr=[('x', 'i4')]
 In [4]:numpy.array([rows[0]], dtype=descr)
 Out[4]:
 array([(0,)],
       dtype=[('x', '<i4')])
 In [5]:scra = numpy.array(rows, dtype=descr)[0]
 In [6]:numpy.array(scra, dtype=descr)
 Out[6]:
 array((0,),
       dtype=[('x', '<i4')])
 # So far so good, but....
 In [7]:numpy.array([scra], dtype=descr)
