Hello!
Hi!
numpy questions are best answered on the numpy mailing list.

Out of curiosity and to learn a little bit about the numpy package i've
tryed to implement
a vectorised version of the 'Sieve of Zakiya'.
While the code itself works fine it is astounding for me that the numpy
Version is almost 7 times slower than
the pure python version. I tryed to find out if i am doing something wrong
but wasn't able to find any answer.
The result of indexing into a numpy array is a numpy scalar object. We do this
instead of returning a float or an int because numpy supports many more data
types than just a C double or long, respectively. If I have a uint16 array,
indexing into it gives me a uint16 numpy scalar. These are a little more
complicated to set up than a regular Python float or int, so they take more time
to create.
