Is there a direct way to import the contents of a CSV file into a record array, just like how R's read.table(), read.delim(), and read.csv() import data into R dataframes?

Or should I use csv.reader() and then apply numpy.core.records.fromrecords()?

You can also try recfromcsv() which can guess data types and return a properly formatted record array.
