#1971: genfromtxt comments do not work on first line when names option is used
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  mesmith     |       Owner:  somebody   
     Type:  defect      |      Status:  new        
 Priority:  normal      |   Milestone:  Unscheduled
Component:  numpy.core  |     Version:  devel      
 Keywords:  genfromtxt  |  
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 In genfromtxt when the names option is used a comment character will cause
 an error. I think the error is on this line (1274 in version 1.6.1, the
 version drop down on the trac interface does not go up to 1.6.1)


 {{{
 first_line = asbytes('').join(first_line.split(comments)[1:])
 }}}

 I think the line shoud read

 {{{
 first_line = asbytes('').join(first_line.split(comments)[:1])
 }}}
