Description
With the current HEAD, consider
import numpy as np
from xray import *
ds = Dataset({"1": DataArray(np.zeros(3), dims=["a"], coords={"a": list("xyz")})})
print(ds)
ds["2"] = DataArray(np.zeros(2), dims=["a"], coords={"a": list("xy")})
print(ds)
This outputs
<xray.Dataset>
Dimensions: (a: 3)
Coordinates:
* a (a) <U1 'x' 'y' 'z'
Data variables:
1 (a) float64 0.0 0.0 0.0
<xray.Dataset>
Dimensions: (a: 3)
Coordinates:
* a (a) object 'x' 'y' 'z'
Data variables:
1 (a) float64 0.0 0.0 0.0
2 (a) float64 0.0 0.0 nan
Note that the dtype of the a
coordinate got changed after the assignment.
Python3.5, numpy 1.10.1, xray master (6ea7eb2)
With 0.6.0 the coordinate is of object dtype both before and after. I forgot why I tried master but I must have had a good reason...
