numpy.lib.format.descr_to_dtype¶
- lib.format.descr_to_dtype(descr)[source]¶
Returns a dtype based off the given description.
This is essentially the reverse of dtype_to_descr(). It will remove the valueless padding fields created by, i.e. simple fields like dtype(‘float32’), and then convert the description to its corresponding dtype.
- Parameters
- descrobject
The object retrieved by dtype.descr. Can be passed to numpy.dtype() in order to replicate the input dtype.
- Returns
- dtypedtype
The dtype constructed by the description.
