=46rom http://www.scipy.org/SciPyPackages/NumExpr:

    The scipy.sandbox.numexpr package supplies routines for the fast
    evaluation of array expressions elementwise by using a vector-based
    virtual machine. It's comparable to scipy.weave.blitz (in Weave),
    but doesn't require a separate compile step of C or C++ code.

If your SciPy package doesn't include it, you can get a checkout from
the repository::

    $ svn co http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scipy/trunk/Lib/sandbox/numexpr

Numexpr is not usable under Python <=3D 2.4 since it uses decorators (and=

maybe for other reasons), so my proposal clearly hasn't the intention on
Python 2.3 compatibility.  Instead, it is a simplification of Numexpr's
type system by stricter boolean types.

I suggest that you try Numexpr.  It is a great piece of software.  Cheers=
