Why did you lower the number of observations? Not that it matters. Note that both ways give the same rec arrays in numpy 1.6.1. My understanding was that you need an element 10 random array then you can make that into tuples of 3 items. That's why it wasn't 10 x 3 observations for the astype. Oddly I don't recall hearing about any changes that should make this behavior different in 1.5.1 vs later versions.
