Comment:

 You need to specify the dtype when using fromfile:


 {{{
 In [1]: x = array([0,1,2,3])

 In [2]: x.tofile("foo.dat")

 In [3]: y = fromfile("foo.dat", dtype=x.dtype)

 In [4]: x == y
 Out[4]: array([ True,  True,  True,  True], dtype=bool)
 }}}

 The load and save routines are safer for this sort of thing.
