I'm a civil engineer who adopted Python early in his career and became the "data guy" in the office pretty early on. Our company's IT department manages lots of Windows Servers running SQL Server. In my case, running python apps on our infrastructure just isn't feasible or supported by the IT department.
Just curious -- does it have to be C#? or could it be any CLR application -- i.e. IronPython?
I don't do this enough to know this answer to this question. But we had a critical mass of past C# projects to serve as a guide that it's been a relatively low effort to get the C# APIs up and running (e.g., click this button to deploy).
I imagine you could build a web service pretty easily in IronPython -- though AFAIK, the attempts at getting numpy support (and thus Pandas, etc) never panned out.
That was the state of things
(no numpy or pandas)
last time I checked. And C#'s pandas-like approach to DB tables is good enough that I haven't felt the need check again recently.
The point of all of this is that in those situations, have a numpy-like library would be very nice indeed. I've very excited to hear that the OP's work has been open sourced.
I wonder if the OP's work could be used to make a numpy for Iron Python native to the CLR ....
That would be very interesting indeed.
