I've been reading a little about NumPy arrays and "dtypes" or data-types.
I understand I can create arrays where each element follows a specific
But, if I create a class, can objects (which are instances) from that class
be elements of a NumPy array?
I mean, can I build a NumPy array whose elements are objects of a class I've
Sorry if my expressions are not right enough...
