typeconvert 0.2.0

Convert various unusual data types into integers and floats

type-converter

Convert various unsigned integers to non-native Python or Numpy types.

function types

For each conversion, there are two kinds of functions to import:

• typeconvert.func: scalar functions
• typeconvert.ufunc: numpy universal functions (ufunc)

Choose what kind of function to import:

from typeconvert.func import <function_name_here>
from typeconvert.ufunc import <function_name_here>

scalar functions

The scalar functions take unsigned Python int as inputs and return either an int or Pytho float as appropriate.

numpy universal functions

The numpy universal functions take the minimum-sized np.uint<> for the given type, and return the minimum-sized np.uint<> or np.float<> for the dynamic range of the output.
