it looks like you could use weave.blitz() without much change to your code.
or weave.inline() if needed. see this page:

Hello,

I'm taking a CFD class, one of the codes I wrote runs very slow. When I
look at hotshot is says the function below is the problem. Since this is an
explicit step, the for loops are only traversed once, so I think it's caused
by memory usage, but I'm not sure if it's the local variables or the loop? I
can vectorize the inner loop,  would declaring the data structures in the
calling routine and passing them in be a better idea than using local
storage?

I'm new at python and numpy, I need to look at how to get profiling
information for the lines within a function.


Thank you,

Frank
