numpy has many functions for basic descriptive statistics. If "data" is an array of your data, you can do (import numpy as np) mean: np.mean(data) median: np.median(data) standard deviation: np.std(data) min: np.min(data) max: np.max(data) In scipy.stats, there are many more (skew, kurtosis, etc...)
