You can call, access members and perform mathematical operations all as normal. Managed arguments are automatically converted to python types when used with a python function, and mathematical operations like multiplying numpy arrays happen entirely within python. You can specify keyword arguments using Py.kw("key1", value1, "key2", value2, ....) as an extra argument to the function. One slight annoyance is that np.pi*2 works while 2*np.pi doesn't, due to limitations of DynamicObject.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>This is just a first shot, and I haven't actually used it much yet, so there are almost certainly bugs, leaked references, etc lurking.
