Re: Newbie - converting csv files to arrays in NumPy - Matlab vs. Numpy comparison

Thanks for your help. I compared the following code in NumPy with the csvread in Matlab for a very large csv file. Matlab read the file in 577 seconds. On the other hand, this code below kept running for over 2 hours. Can this program be made more efficient? FYI - The csv file was a simple 6 column

Re: dynamic library loading, missing symbols

So, I did some searching and using python -v to run my code, I was able to see that my module was loaded by the python interpreter using dlopen("lib", 2). 2 is the RTLD_NOW flag, meaning that RTLD_LOCAL is assumed by the system. I suppose this means that any subsequent libraries dlopened will not

Re: Parallel Python

Just as something to note, but many HPC applications will use a combination of both MPI and threading (OpenMP usually, as for the underlying thread implementation i don't have much to say). Its interesting to see on this message board this huge "anti-threading" mindset, but the HPC community s

Re: Python - C# interoperability

Thanks to all who responded. It appears that there may be a solution as follows: use jythonc to turn Python program into Java bytecode use Microsoft's jbimp to turn Java bytecode into .NET DLL It sounds roundabout, but I am investigating. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
