Writing with NPZ

General Usage

I am trying to write a dictionary element that is a list of lists of Float64. Here is my MWE:

import NPZ
d = Dict{String, Vector{Vector{Float64}}}("tdnn" => [])
push!(d["tdnn"],  [1.,2.,3.])
push!(d["tdnn"],  [4.,2.,3.])
NPZ.npzwrite("gordon.npz", d)
NPZ.npzwrite("gordon.npz", d["tdnn"])

I have create a dictionary d with two Float64 lists of 3 elements each. Here is the error I get when applying npzwrite. Both statements generate the same error:

ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: cannot reinterpret `Vector{Float64}` as `UInt8`, type `Vector{Float64}` is not a bits type
Stacktrace:
 [1] throwbits at ./reinterpretarray.jl:16
 [2] reinterpret at ./reinterpretarray.jl:41
 [3] npzwritearray at /Users/erlebach/.julia/packages/NPZ/UCofn/src/NPZ.jl:360

 [5] top-level scope at /Users/erlebach/src/2022/rude/giesekus/GE_rude.jl/tst.jl:5

I do not understand why the need for the reinterpretation. What bit type condition is the error referring to? Must the list of lists be converted to an array before npzwrite can work properly?
Thanks.

I figured it out. npzwrite can only write arrays of Numbers, which excludes strings and Vectors of Vectors. I used reduce(hcat, list) to convert my list of lists into a single array.
