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.
