for what it's worth, a few years ago a wrote a "fast_clip" c extension that did clip without making nearly as many temporary arrays as the Numeric one -- I don't know what numpy does , I haven't needed a fast clip recently.

I'd love that too. Maybe your proposal is a good one, though -- make numeric functions that are optimized for numpy. I think that's a good way to transition. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
