https://pypi.python.org/pypi/numpy #NumPy is a general-purpose #array-processing package designed to efficiently manipulate large #multi-dimensional arrays of arbitrary records without sacrificing too much speed for small multi-dimensional #arrays. NumPy is built on the #Numeric code base and adds features introduced by #numarray as well as an extended #C-API and the ability to create arrays of arbitrary type which also makes NumPy suitable for interfacing with general-purpose #data-base applications.
