I just saw today that this will be included in Python 3.4. Congratulations,
Steven, this is a nice addition.

I think the install issues in the pep are exaggerated, and are in my opinion
not a sufficient reason to get something into the standard lib.
google appengine includes numpy

NumPy and SciPy are not available for many Python users, including those
using a Python implementation for which there is no Numpy support

whom large, dependency-heavy third-party packages are too much burden.

I think this is a super idea.

The trick here is that numpy really is the right way to do this stuff.
I like to say:
crunching numbers in python without numpy is like doing text processing
without using the string object

One other point -- for performance reason, is would be nice to have some
compiled code in there -- this adds incentive to put it in the stdlib --
external packages that need compiling is what makes numpy unacceptable to
some folks.

See the Rationale of PEP 450 for more reasons why “install NumPy” is not
a feasible solution for many use cases, and why having ‘statistics’ as a
pure-Python, standard-library package is desirable.

screaming need for this
