Talk:NumPy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since numarray and numeric are deprecated, that info is no longer relevant to most people. I would like to move alot of that info to a new section, e.g. History of Numerical Python. Chrike 04:42, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested Move

I suggest we look into renaming this article from Numerical Python to NumPy because nowhere else (except in very old documents) is the term Numerical Python used much. See http://numpy.scipy.org or Travis Oliphant's "Guide to NumPy" Chrike 17:21, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

This page has been moved from "Numerical Python" to NumPy as the result of a move request listed at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Dekimasuよ! 11:56, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interpreted vs Compiled

The intro reads "Since Python is an interpreted language, mathematical algorithms often run much slower than they do in compiled languages like C or even Java."

Isn't Python compiled? (pyc files) See http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/pytut/CompiledPythonfiles.html 202.78.240.7 (talk) 04:43, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
