The Numeric Extensions to Python (NumPy) give Python the number crunching
|
|
power of numeric languages like Matlab and IDL while maintaining all of the
|
|
advantages of the general-purpose programming language Python.
|
|
|
|
These extensions add two new object types to Python, and then include a
|
|
number of extensions that take advantage of these two new objects.
|
|
|
|
* Multidimensional Array Objects
|
|
+ Efficient arrays of homogeneous machine types
|
|
+ Arbitrary number of dimensions
|
|
+ Sophisticated structural operations
|
|
* Universal Function Objects
|
|
+ Supports mathematical functions on all python objects
|
|
+ Very efficient for Array Objects
|
|
* Simple interfaces to existing numerical libraries:
|
|
+ Linear Algebra (LAPACK)
|
|
+ Fourier Transforms (FFTPACK)
|
|
+ Random Numbers (RANLIB)
|
|
|
|
To use the numeric extension, add /usr/local/share/python1.4/NumPy
|
|
to your PYTHONPATH.
