Comment:

 Has been fixed since then:
 {{{
 >>> import numpy
 >>> fp=open('foo.dat','w')
 >>> fp.close()
 >>> numpy.loadtxt('foo.dat')
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/numpy/lib/io.py", line 456, in
 loadtxt
     raise IOError('End-of-file reached before encountering data.')
 IOError: End-of-file reached before encountering data.
 >>> numpy.__version__
 '1.3.0'
 }}}
