Convert structured array with various numeric data types to regular array

Question

Suppose I have a NumPy structured array with various numeric datatypes. As a basic example,

my_data = np.array( [(17, 182.1),  (19, 175.6)],  dtype=\'i2,f4\         


        

Answer 1

Here's one way (assuming my_data is a one-dimensional structured array):

In [26]: my_data
Out[26]: 
array([(17, 182.10000610351562), (19, 175.60000610351562)], 
      dtype=[('f0', '
