[Matrix-SIG] Syntactic sugar for constructing arrays

Harold,

I actually know of omatrix. What makes you think it may be Python App?
Windows only, no OO, no COM, DDE only, etc... If I can wrap this around
Python that would be great, because it's probably the speed king on Stat
Packages.

Check this site out. Stefan has good info on various stat packages.

I would do almost anything to stop people from propagating this one. If it
was legal to shoot statisticians, I'd have done it already.

	Andrew, you would have to kill nearly all staticians (a lot of
bullets). This is standard practice in all Econometric books I've seen. I do
realize that this is probably not likely in Python. It would be really
	hard to tell what's inside quote and what's transpose. Again, I do
not quite mind using slight long hand. I heard that better slicing will come
in future version of Python. Still pretty damn good without it.  I was just
illustrating that you don't get everything you want in manner you want and
Python doesn't have to.
