Re: how to make this code faster

It looks like you're using Numeric for your arrays, but you are then pulling sin from the math module and calculating one point at a time. Instead try using sin(whole array) where sin is a ufunc from the Numeric module. Also, it's usually not good practice to "import Numeric as *". Instead try im

Re: print there!

It's possible you will need to run python -u for this to behave as expected. Otherwise python may buffer the output until it sees a newline so you only see the last result. -- David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Creating a more random int?

Well it IS unusual actually (~1/365.25). Please tell them for me. -- Dave -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Creating a more random int?

Steven, Have you considered you might want a less random distribution? If you just want to remove repeats so it 'seems' more random you could do that (replace any repeat with another random value not equal to the last value). It likely will not be as uniformly random as the original sequence but
