Yeah, it might be a good thing for a start to have a "tutor" if you
have the time to think about it.

@Stefan : I agree. By "intermediate solution" I mean the total time :
time to think about data structure + time to implement + time to
execute. I use Numpy almost all the time as a tool to do
"exploration". I don't mind to have the fastest execution time, I only
look after the total time ;) Cython is a great tool, but 90% of my
issues are index-related : Numpy and Matlab are slow when you loop
over the index of your array. And I think PyPy-Numpy (will) provides a
much better solution in MY case.

Samuel
