I have python dict object with key as datetime.date object and values as tuple objects:
>>> data_dict
{datetime.date(2006, 1, 1): (5, 3),
datetime.date(2006, 1, 2): (8, 8),
datetime.date(2006, 1, 3): (8, 5),
datetime.date(2006, 1, 4): (3, 3),
datetime.date(2006, 1, 5): (3, 3),
datetime.date(2006, 1, 6): (4, 3),
...
and I want to convert it to numpy array object in this format:
dtype([('date', '|O4'), ('high', '<i1'), ('low', '<i1')])
so that I could store it on disk and later work with it, and learn, in numpy, matplotlib...
As a matter of fact, I thought to use this format after looking at this matplotlib examples: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/recipes.html but can't find my way out how to get there.
