numpy.chararray.byteswap¶

chararray.byteswap(inplace=False)¶

Swap the bytes of the array elements

Toggle between low-endian and big-endian data representation byreturning a byteswapped array, optionally swapped in-place.

Parameters:	inplace:bool, optional IfTrue, swap bytes in-place, default isFalse.
Returns:	out:ndarray The byteswapped array. Ifinplace isTrue, this isa view to self.

Examples

>>>A=np.array([1,256,8755],dtype=np.int16)>>>map(hex,A)['0x1', '0x100', '0x2233']>>>A.byteswap(inplace=True)array([  256,     1, 13090], dtype=int16)>>>map(hex,A)['0x100', '0x1', '0x3322']

Arrays of strings are not swapped

>>>A=np.array(['ceg','fac'])>>>A.byteswap()array(['ceg', 'fac'],      dtype='|S3')
