I think the relevant part of the numpy documentation is here:

 http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/c-api.array.html#dealing-with-types


This may be more generally useful:

    http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/c-api.array.html#PyArray_DTYPE

The relevant fields of the returned PyArray_Descr seem to be kind, byteorder, and elsize.
