but this seems overkill to me. Can you tell I am coming to Python from Matlab?
if you're coming from matlab, then you should think of python lists more like cell arrays than matrices: you can have lists of arbitrary data types, so multiply is not going to work in the matrix way.
check out http://web.bryant.edu/~bblais/bryant/numerical_computing/ python_matlab.pdf
but more importantly, you need to install numpy (which has the matrix stuff) and scipy (which has the scientific packages). What I do is go to www.enthought.com and they have a single-download package geared specifically for scientists.
