It derives from the old Numeric code base and can be used as a replacement for Numeric. It also adds the features introduced by numarray and can be used to replace numarray. +NumPy is a general-purpose array-processing package designed to +efficiently manipulate large multi-dimensional arrays of arbitrary +records without sacrificing too much speed for small multi-dimensional +arrays. NumPy is built on the Numeric code base and adds features +introduced by numarray as well as an extended C-API and the ability to +create arrays of arbitrary type. + +There are also basic facilities for discrete fourier transform, +basic linear algebra and random number generation. +It is the successor of Numeric and numarray. -- cgit v1.2.3-65-gdbad
