 Hi,

 I don't know if this is related with ticket:331, but I think the next
 should be a bug:

 {{{
 In [71]:"" == numpy.string_("")
 Out[71]:True
 In [72]:numpy.array("")
 Out[72]:
 array('',
       dtype='|S1')
 # so far so good, but...
 In [73]:numpy.array(numpy.string_(""))
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 exceptions.ValueError                                Traceback (most
 recent call last)

 /home/faltet/<ipython console>

 ValueError: Empty data-type

 }}}
