Jim Hugunin, while a graduate student at MIT, wrote most of the code and initial documentation. When Jim joined CNRI and began working on JPython, he didn't have the time to maintain Numerical Python so Paul Dubois at LLNL agreed to become the maintainer of Numerical Python. David Ascher, working as a consultant to LLNL, wrote most of this document, incorporating contributions from Konrad Hinsen and Travis Oliphant, both of whom are major contributors to Numerical Python. Since the source was moved to SourceForge, the Numeric user community has become a significant part of the process. Numerical Python illustrates the power of the open source software concept. -=- -=- -=- jim's made real some of the most important practical python inroads - numpy, jpython/jython, and now IronPython (i like "FePy", btw:).
