#1911: recarray fromfile doesn't support file like objects
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  sbreuss      |       Owner:  somebody   
     Type:  enhancement  |      Status:  new        
 Priority:  normal       |   Milestone:  Unscheduled
Component:  numpy.core   |     Version:  devel      
 Keywords:  recarray     |  
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 The current implementation of the record array fromfile method doesn't
 support file like objects (e.g. StringIO, io.BytesIO, ...)

 By two minor changes in the source this would be possible:[[BR]]
 1) change the get_remaining_size method to use seek[[BR]]
 2) not using the readinto method of the file object[[BR]]

 I'm open to any suggestions, a patch for the current master version
 showing my changes is attached.

 Cheers,[[BR]]
 Simon Breuss
