Note that when you stray from pure python you shrink your
user base and complicate your support issues substantially.
Haven't had the opportunity to code much anew, but am still replaying to
myself where I am with these issues, and in the
I use numeric a lot, and I understand what you mean.
Perhaps there is some Python-like scientific language yet to be
invented, but on the other hand, perhaps the interface between
convenient latent typing and efficient strong typing may be fated to
always be a bit uncomfortable.
Meanwhile I have
Arthur,
have you tried using Psyco?
Then you get to write your code in a naive, straightforward
fashion, and then you get something that runs nearly as fast.
Plus no headaches from having to write your code inside out,
like numeric makes you do, all too often.

Of course gnu math is a pun on new math, more formally known as
SMSG, and designed to ride a tsunami of cold war paranoia, when the
USA first started falling behind in science and technology, as
evidenced by Sputnik. New math was supposed to turn out a new crop
of eggheads, prepared to keep the

OK, so this title is somewhat misleading, because pickling and
shelving is one of the things I've not yet gotten around to, vis-a-vis
Polyhedra. But let me tell you about some of the other things I've

First, what data structures to use? Well, no need

It's a powerful raytracers, with ties to Blender (with ties to Python), and
a pure XML based SDL.
If my free minute, or next lifetime, I am hoping to do a PyGeo to Yafray
export in addition to PyGeo to Povray as there is now.

These kinds of synergies between what I do because I like to do it and what
I do because I can get paid to do it is how PyGeo gets financed - in a
