FAIL: test_typ (pandas.io.tests.test_json.test_pandas.TestPandasObjects)

Traceback (most recent call last):

AssertionError

in any case would be nice to replace this with assert_equal

[yarikoptic]

(Pdb) print left.dtype, right.dtype
int32 int64

so sparc is big-endian.....all others are little...

[yarikoptic]

yes, but not _all_ others are little -- there are other big endians in Debian eg hppa, powerpc, etc:

[cpcloud]

do people still use powerpc?

[jreback]
