[Numpy] read csv into record array?
I wonder if there is a direct way to import the contents of a csv file into a record array, much in the way that R's read.table(), read.delim(), and read.csv() family imports data to R's data frame? Or is the best way to use [csv.reader()][1] and then apply something like numpy.core.records.fromrecords()?
