So, replace | > > import math with from math import log Also make that the top line of the function so 'log' is a local variable. Then delete 'math.' everywhere. That said, such artificial benchmarks do not strike me as terribly useful. More useful, for instance, for appropriate applications, might be doing a fourier transform on a 2**20 length vector with both matlab and numpy/scipy tjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
