I know there must be a simple method to do this. I have implemented this function for calculating a checksum based on a ones complement addition:
def complement_ones_checksum(ints): """ Returns a complements one checksum based on a specified numpy.array of dtype=uint16 """ result = 0x0 for i in ints: result += i result = (result + (result >> 16)) & 0xFFFF return result It works, but is of course inefficient. My prfiler syas this is the 99.9% botteleneck in my applicaiton. What is the efficient numpy way to do this? No need to dwelve into fast inlining of c-code or Fortran and stuff like that although that may give further performance imporevements. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
