Sit two theoretically identical programmers who have a decent grasp of python, understand the basics of ElementwiseProxy and the components of your version down side by side, and see which one can figure out what the output should be first. I will bet real money it is the one working with the ElementwiseProxy code. We have all had a lot of practice reading inside out and backwards in the python community with comprehensions and such, but it is in no way natural or easy. Additionally, everything done via an ElementwiseProxy is lazy, so you only pay for what you eat :) Nathan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
