hi, I'm sorry I havent been following the discussion too closely and this post might be completely unrelated. >>>>> "AS" == A Schmolck <a.s...@gm...> writes: AS> Ideally , I'd like to see a slim core numarray, without any AS> frills (and more streamlined to behave like standard python AS> containers (e.g. indexing and type/casts behavior)) for the AS> python core, something more enabled and efficient for numerics AS> (including matrices!) as a seperate package (like the XML AS> example you quote).

Ideally, I'd like something that also has a reasonably easy to use interface from C/C++. The idea is that it should be easy (and natural) for someone to use the same library from C/C++ when performance was desired. This would be really nice and very useful. prabhu |
