Error message mis-match

[sterlingbaldwin]

The error message here should match the if condition on the previous line.

Also, just on a stylistic point, the word "type" should not be used as a variable as its a built in python method. The error message should actually give the allowed datatypes instead of just "i" for int, and "d" for double.

@sterlingbaldwin The 'S' and 'U' in the line you linked refer to the byte and unicode types for strings in numpy arrays. #581 changes the letters to int32, int64, float32, float64, and string. Do you approve of these changes?

[sterlingbaldwin]

Sounds good to me, should be a lot easier to debug given the actual type instead of the letter.
