I don't know of an existing function that does this, but it would not be
hard to roll your own. All you need to do is first write the dimensions
and type of the array to the file, then the binary data. To read it back
in, you'd first read in the meta data, then the binary data, and you're
done.
I've enclosed a quickie prototype (using Numeric, I think numarray may
have tofile() and fromfile() methods, and it handles typecode differently.
By the way, there may be something in SciPy for this, and it's also
possible that arrays can be pickled.
This is also a better question for the NumPy list than this list.
