myDataObject.astype('...') should raise a RuntimeError if dataObject is empty

[M. Gronle]

‌

dobj = dataObject()
dobj.astype('float32') #should raise a defined RuntimeError, currently it is throwing an uncaught exception in Python

maybe verify other members of itom.dataObject, too

This issue cannot be reproduced.

This script

‌

t = ['uint8','int8','uint16','int16','int32','float32','float64','complex64','complex128','rgba32']

for t1 in t:
    d = dataObject()
    a = d.astype(t1)
    print(t1, a.dtype)

returns

uint8 uint8
int8 int8
uint16 uint16
int16 int16
int32 int32
float32 float32
float64 float64
complex64 complex64
complex128 complex128
rgba32 rgba32

as desired.

I propose to close this issue.
