pyfits problem

[Tommy Grav]

I am trying to load in a fits-image and get this error

wiyn05dec/n1 -display -i obj062.fits
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/tgrav/Work/Astronomy/MyCode/Python/Redspit/
display.py", line 48, in ?
main()
File "/Users/tgrav/Work/Astronomy/MyCode/Python/Redspit/
display.py", line 30, in main
im = pyfits.getdata( options.infname )
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framewor k/Versions/2.4/lib/
python2.4/site-packages/pyfits/NP_pyfits.py", line 4645, in getdata
_data = hdu.data
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framewor k/Versions/2.4/lib/
python2.4/site-packages/pyfits/NP_pyfits.py", line 2058, in __getattr__
self.data = np.array(raw_da ta, type=np.Float32 )
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Float32'

I am using numpy 1.0rc3 and ActivePython 2.4.3 Build 11.
Anyone know what is going on?

Cheers

Have you opened the file? Which version of pyFITS?

Consider:
fimg=pyfits.ope n(datafile)
self.header=fim g[0].header
self.image=fimg[0].data
