I'm quite sure David Cournapeau knows about NumPy... By the way, NumPy is not particularly fast because of the way it is written. It's performance is hampered by the creation of temporary arrays. But NumPy provides a flexible way of managing memory in scientific programs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
