Paul et al, I see the numpy list is quite active, and I appreciate the discussion I started - and then went silent about! foo(zcen,dif) is indeed syntax sugar, but it can be quite sweet! Haven't you seen how lab rats react to feedings of aspartame or other sweeteners?? Anyway, the list above is indeed what I had in mind. It seems a few are missing, like zcen, and perhaps it's worth it to add to numpy proper rather than have everyone write their own one-liners (and then have to deal w/ it when sharing code). I leave it to the community's wisdom. It seems enough smart people have thought about the issue. I also like pointing out that Yorick was a fast, free environment developed by ~1990, when matlab/IDL were probably the only comparable games in town, but very few people ever used it. I think this is a case study in the triumph of marketing over substance. It looks like num/sci py are gaining enough momentum and visibility. Hopefully the numerical science community won't be re-inventing this same wheel in 5 years....
