Hey Sheldon
With NumPy you can use dtype's newbyteorder method to convert any dtype's
byte order to an order you specify:
In [1]: import numpy as N
In [2]: x = N.array([1],dtype='<i4')
In [3]: y = N.array([1],dtype='>i4')
In [4]: xle = N.asarray(x, dtype=x.dtype.newbyteorder('<'))
In [5]: yle = N.asarray(y, dtype=y.dtype.newbyteorder('<'))
In [6]: x.dtype
Out[6]: dtype('<i4')
In [7]: y.dtype
Out[7]: dtype('>i4')
In [8]: xle.dtype
Out[8]: dtype('<i4')
In [9]: yle.dtype
Out[9]: dtype('<i4')
