Array

class Array(dtype: str, shape: List[int], stype: str, data: bytes)

Bases: object

Array type.

A dataclass containing serialized data from an array-like or tensor-like object along with some metadata about it.

Parameters:

• dtype (str) – A string representing the data type of the serialised object (e.g. np.float32)

• shape (List[int]) – A list representing the shape of the unserialized array-like object. This is used to deserialize the data (depending on the serialization method) or simply as a metadata field.

• stype (str) – A string indicating the type of serialisation mechanism used to generate the bytes in data from an array-like or tensor-like object.

• data (bytes) – A buffer of bytes containing the data.

Methods

Return the array as a NumPy array.
