As one who is really newbie on Python, In MATLAB we can represent the codes for the matrix manipulation as really like mathematical forms, e.g., MATLAB> H = U*D*V' It definitely makes the science programmer easier and faster to write their codes. Moreover, from some recent versions JIT has been included in MATLAB, which speeds up near to C/C++ programs. -James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
