Numeric Python

Category: Program Dev-Languages-Python

Description

Numeric (version 24.2) Numeric was the first arrayobject built for Python. It has been quite successful and is used in a wide variety of settings and applications. Maintenance has ceased for Numeric, and users should transisition to NumPy as quickly as possible. There is a module called numpy.oldnumeric.alter_code1 in NumPy that can make the transition to NumPy easier (it will automatically perform the search-and-replace style changes that need to be made to python code that uses Numeric to make it work with NumPy).

NumPy is a general-purpose array-processing package designed to efficiently manipulate large multi-dimensional arrays of arbitrary records without sacrificing too much speed for small multi-dimensional arrays. NumPy is built on the Numeric code base and adds features introduced by numarray as well as an extended C-API and the ability to create arrays of arbitrary type which also makes NumPy suitable for interfacing with general-purpose data-base applications.
