I suppose you mean vectors in the Matlab way? Then you should have a look at
http://scipy.org/NumPy_for_Matlab_Users#head-e9a492daa18afcd86e84e07cd2824a9b1b651935
In short: of course you can do all linalg with numpy.array. With numpy.matrix,
some operations (like dot products) can be written more conveniently.

a = array([3,1,4])
len(a)
