Comment(by ehiggs):

 Now with code block formatting:

 {{{
 >>> import numpy
 >>> numpy.__version__
     '1.4.1'

 >>> numpy.vectorize(lambda x: x[:10],
 otypes=[numpy.dtype('|S10')])(numpy.array(['a'*20]))

 array(['aaaaaaaa'],
       dtype='|S8')
 }}}

 I apologize if there is an edit function in Trac. I'm new to this bug
 tracker so I'm still getting up to speed.
