Hi David, Forgot to answer last week, I was under a fair bit of pressure time wise, but thanks for your input. I sorted it all in the end and just in time, but the main issue here was the change from numarray to numpy. Previously where a typecode of 'f' was used in numarray, the calculation was pe

If numpy is installed, then f2py will be too. On the windows environment, there is a file called f2py.py that you can call from the command line. It should be in the 'scripts' directory of your Python installation. Try something like this: python c:\python25\scripts\f2py.py (of course change to

Yeah, I memory wise it doesn't matter to sum to a double, but just trying around it seems that the mixing of float and double is very slow (at least on my comp) while if the starting array is already double there is almost no difference for summing. Generally double precision calculations should be
