Example in quick start docs does not work about blaze HOT 1 CLOSED

The first bug appears to be a confusion about whether the type from coretypes should be called String or string. Inside blaze/datashape/coretypes.py there is the line:

string = String

But then at the top of blaze/datashape/shorthand.py, only String is imported:

from coretypes import pyobj, bool_, int8, int16, int32, int64, \
    uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, float16, float32,  \
    float64, float128, float_, int_, double, complex64, \
    complex128, complex128, complex256, String, timedelta64, \
    datetime64

which in turn means that you can't import string directly from the blaze module.

The fix is either to add string to the import list in shorthand.py (and permit String and string to be aliases) or to pick a capitalization and fix everywhere to be consistent.

The second problem is a duplicate of issue #15.

from blaze.
