Intel Distribution for Python

I just got an Intel newsletter describing "Intel Distribution for Python". Quote: With Intel® Distribution for Python, it’s not unusual to see speed-ups of 20x (or more) for numerically intensive Python codes like those that use the Numpy* and SciPy* stack. Sounds very exiting; 20 times sp
