Comment (by faltet):

 I was wrong in my last message. I think that the real problem is that the
 data-types are saying that they are equal, but they are not the same
 object:

 {{{
 >>> numpy.dtype(numpy.int_) == numpy.dtype(numpy.intc)
 True
 >>> numpy.dtype(numpy.int_) is numpy.dtype(numpy.intc)
 False
 }}}

 And I guess this couldn't be changed because those data-types are actually
 different objects. Never mind, I'll try find a workaround for what I'm
 trying to do (although I recognize that this is fooling me quite a bit
 ;-).

 Sorry for the innecessary reopening.
