Numbers with uncertainties behave very much like regular numbers: it is very useful to be able to use the regular NumPy syntax for array operations, for calculating matrix inverses when the matrices contain number with uncertainties, etc. I know many people use these features.<br /><br />It would be *great* (read: irreplaceable :) to have support for the object NumPy dtype.EOL (Eric O LEBIGOT)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08843567382834026704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-65393581392830393362012-04-19T11:16:14.482+02:002012-04-19T11:16:14.482+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.EOL (Eric O LEBIGOT)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08843567382834026704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-426816871316519122012-04-19T11:15:33.439+02:002012-04-19T11:15:33.439+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.EOL (Eric O LEBIGOT)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08843567382834026704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-67321073777085237512012-04-18T23:20:26.606+02:002012-04-18T23:20:26.606+02:00Ralf, we don't have to implement the pure-pyth...Ralf, we don't have to implement the pure-python stuff, so much as we need to make sure the features of NumPy's core that they depend on are implemented.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14054821112394577330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-42632503311556527792012-04-18T21:45:15.329+02:002012-04-18T21:45:15.329+02:00Hi, Numpy masked arrays, matrices and the testing ...Hi, Numpy masked arrays, matrices and the testing framework are pure Python, so why do you need to implement them?Ralf Gommershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189904547449375563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971202189709462152.post-55237139966528753612012-04-18T11:07:28.564+02:002012-04-18T11:07:28.564+02:00"busy doing other things (pictured)".

Occasionally, I've got multidimensional arrays of objects, and the array operations from numpy are useful. I don't really get a speed advantage there, but the interface from numpy is useful.
