So questions: 1) I haven't followed the details of the array scalar discussions. Is it anticipated that array scalar arithmetic will eventually be as fast as arithmetic in native python types?
More or less, if I'm not mistaken. This ticket is aimed at that: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/ticket/55
2) If not, is it possible to get a "pure" scalar directly from an array in one function call?
float(x[0]) seems to be faster on my PowerBook. -- Robert Kern robert.kern@gmail.com "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
