Description
In [2]: from pandas import *
In [3]: a = np.array([(1, 2)], dtype=[('id', 'u8'), ('value', 'i8')])
In [4]: DataFrame.from_records(a[:0]).dtypes
Out[4]:
id float64
value float64
dtype: object
I think the dtypes are incorrect. The record array dtypes should pass through so you get uint64 & int64.
Working on a PR now.
