How can I access data inside a numpy array with dtype=object ?
b = numpy.array({"a":[1,2,3]}, dtype=object)
The following gives IndexError.
print(b["a"])
IndexError: only integers, slices (:), ellipsis (...), numpy.newaxis (None) and integer or boolean arrays are valid indices
>Solution :
Since you passed in the dict to numpy.array() without putting it in a list, this is a zero-dimensional array. To index into a zero-dimensional array, you can use b.item() to access the element inside. For completeness, to access the data in the "a" key in your dictionary, you can use this.
>>> b.item()["a"]
[1, 2, 3]
