numpy array with dtype Decimal?

Question

Are Decimal dtypes available in numpy?

>>> import decimal, numpy
>>> d = decimal.Decimal(\'1.1\') 
>>> s = [[\'123.123\',\'23\'],[         


        

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you have to cast each of your items to Decimal when you create the numpy.array. Something like

s = [['123.123','23'],['2323.212','123123.21312']]
decimal_s = [[decimal.Decimal(x) for x in y] for y in s]
ss = numpy.array(decimal_s)
