NumPy

NumPy is the fundamental Python technology used for scientific computing. Among many other features, it includes powerful N-dimensional array, tools to integrate other programming languages (C, C++, Fortran), broadcasting functions, and numerous math capabilities (random numebr capability, Fourier transform, linear algebra, etc.) All this allows to use NumPy not only in science, but as a powerful generic data container, able to quickly and seamlessly integrate with a long range of databases.
