I managed to get basic support for sum and prod into numpexpr. I need to tie up some loose ends, for instance only floats are currently supported, but these should be easy. To return to the recently posted multidimensional distance program, this now works:
expr = numexpr("sum((a - b)**2, axis=2)", [('a', float), ('b', float)]) def dist_numexpr(A, B): return sqrt(expr(A[:,newaxis], B[newaxis,:])) It's also quite fast, although there's still room for improvement in the reduction code. Notice that it still needs to be in two parts since sum/prod needs to surround the rest of the expression. Note also that it does support the axis keyword, although currently only nonnegative values (or None). I plan to fix that at some point though. -tim Using Tomcat but need to do more?
