You use the same constructor as ndarray has. 

numpy.info(numpy.ndarray)

If you want an array-like function that produces the array, you do

array(obj).view(InfoArray)

or wrap that up in your own function.


There are many over-lapping ways to construct ndarray's.   You can use 
all of these ways to construct instances of your own type by getting the 
ndarray and using the .view() method.
