I am having a problem when using the Ipython interpreter of Spyder,
basically when I run the following lines,
import numpy as np
my_data=np.genfromtxt(path_to_my_file,delimiter="\t",skip_header=1,dtype='str')
The whole of Spyder gets frozen.
I does not happen when I run the line on Ipython using the console. I have been testing what is causing Spyder to freeze and it is the kwarg dtype='str'
If I add that **kwarg, it freezes, and everything works fine if I don't.
Any idea of how to solve it or why is this happening?
