NumPy The Numeric Extensions to Python (NumPy) add powerful multi-dimensional array objects to the wonderful general purpose programming language Python. These new objects give Python the number crunching power of numeric languages like Matlab and IDL while maintaining all of the advantages of the general-purpose programming language Python. A slightly outdated overview of the design and motivation behind this system is contained in the paper on: Extending Python for Numeric Computation presented at the 3rd Python Workshop.
