Speaking of such things, I was thinking the other day that it might be useful to have somewhere in the stdlib a full set of functions for doing elementwise operations and reductions on the built-in array type. This would make it possible for one to do efficient bulk arithmetic when the need arises from time to time without having to pull in a heavyweight dependency such as Numeric or numpy. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
