 Hi,

 The next is confusing to me:

 {{{
 In [37]:numpy.dtype('uint32', 342) == numpy.dtype('uint32')
 Out[37]:True
 }}}

 I'd either forbid passing two parameters to the dtype factory or make the
 next statements equivalent:

 {{{
 In [38]:numpy.dtype('uint32', 342) == numpy.dtype(('uint32',342))
 Out[38]:True    # It currently returns False
 }}}
