So, in addition to my computer science work, I'm a PhD student in econ. Right 
now, the class is using GAUSS for almost everything. This sort of pisses me off 
because it means people are building libraries of code that become valueless 
when they graduate (because right now we get GAUSS licenses for free, but it is 
absurdly expensive later) -- particularly when this is the only language they 
know.

So, I had this idea of building some command line tools to do the same things 
using the most basic pieces of NumPy (arrays, dot products, transpose and 
inverse -- that's it). And it is going great. My problem however is that I'd 
like to be able to share these tools but I know I'm opening up a big can of 
worms where I have to go around building numpy on 75 peoples computers. What 
I'd like to do is limit myself to just the functions that are implemented in 
python, package it with py2exe and hand that to anyone that needs it. So, my 
question, if anyone knows, what's implemented in python and what depends on the 
c libraries? Is this even possible?

Thanks!

Ben
