Hi all,
I'd like to hear from you on the benefits of using numpy.power(x,y)
over (x*x*x*x..)
I looks to me that numpy.power takes more time to run.
You will want to ask numpy questions on the numpy mailing list:

The advantage that numpy.power(x,y) has over (x*x*x...) is that y can be
floating point. We do not attempt to do strength reduction in the integer case.
