Yeah these general responses of 'just use numpy' aren't really in the vacinity of providing me any path forward.
I know what numpy is but this suggestion somewhat implies that I should write my own GATOR tool, which I have no interest or time to do. I wish simply doing an: import numpy would be a catch all solution. Somehow I'm not convinced... Thanks anyway.
