can_cast (from, totype, casting = ) | Returns True if cast between data types can occur according to the casting rule. |
promote_types (type1, type2) | Returns the data type with the smallest size and smallest scalar kind to which both type1 and type2 may be safely cast. |
min_scalar_type (a) | For scalar a , returns the data type with the smallest size and smallest scalar kind which can hold its value. |
result_type (*arrays_and_dtypes) | Returns the type that results from applying the NumPy type promotion rules to the arguments. |
common_type (*arrays) | Return a scalar type which is common to the input arrays. |
obj2sctype (rep[, default]) | Return the scalar dtype or NumPy equivalent of Python type of an object. |
Creating data types
dtype | Create a data type object. |

MachAr ([float_conv, int_conv, ...]) | Diagnosing machine parameters. |
Data type testing
issctype (rep) | Determines whether the given object represents a scalar data-type. |
issubdtype (arg1, arg2) | Returns True if first argument is a typecode lower/equal in type hierarchy. |
issubsctype (arg1, arg2) | Determine if the first argument is a subclass of the second argument. |
issubclass_ (arg1, arg2) | Determine if a class is a subclass of a second class. |
find_common_type (array_types, scalar_types) | Determine common type following standard coercion rules. |
Miscellaneous
