 Hi, there is a problem with loading records via loadtxt(). See the example
 code below:

 {{{
 import numpy as N
 import StringIO

 c = StringIO.StringIO()
 c.write('1 2\n3 4')
 N.loadtxt(c, dtype=[('x', N.int32), ('y', N.int32)])
 }}}

 This raises the following exception:
 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\tmp\aa.py", line 6, in <module>
     N.loadtxt(c, dtype=[('x', N.int32), ('y', N.int32)])
   File "c:\python25\lib\site-
 packages\numpy-1.0.4-py2.5-win32.egg\numpy\core\numeric.py", line 726, in
 loadtxt
     r,c = X.shape
 ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack
 }}}
