This seems to work fine too (with Python 2.7 at any rate), and is in
CVS. Let me know if there are backward/forward compatibility issues
with the solution I chose!
On my Linux systems I also have 2.7 per default, so for testing on Py3 I
have to wait for the next Win snapshot. BTW, it would be nice to be able
to specify the Python interpreter in gretl's settings, similar to the
way R and Octave paths can be specified. (Why not the same for Ox,
actually?) That way, I could point gretl to the parallel Py3
installation that I have on Linux.
Apart from that I don't see any compatibility issues anymore offhand,
but two more small comments:
First, numpy.ndarray.tofile() may do the trick easier, see
http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.ndarray.tofile.....
However, the only advantage I see over your low-level solution is three
LOCs less, so maybe just leave it as is.
Finally, the empty 'return' statement at the end is really redundant.
Thanks,
