[Numpy-discussion] unsigned short support in NumPy

[Sebastian H. <ha...@ms...>]

Hi all,
I'm _very_ new to NumPy.
I was interested in using it for our project, where we acquire data from a 
CCD camera.

The Problem:  Each pixel in the image is a 16 bit gray value.
             What I read in the documentation - there is only 8 bit (unsigned 
integer) support in numpy (or should I say numericarray)

Are there plans to add a "unsigned short" (16 bit) support .
How much effort would that be.

Regards,
Sebastian Haase
