The core of the "scitbx" is designed to solve exactly this problem. For a very
high-level overview look for "array_family" in this document:

http://cctbx.sourceforge.net/current_cvs/tour.html

Also look for "numpy."

I am embarrassed to admit again that I still have not documented the array
family, but appart from that it is really very useful, mature, extensively
tested, highly portable, and I will answer questions.
