[Tutor] Two-Dimensional arrays

[Deirdre Saoirse]

I have a problem that needs two-dimensional arrays, but NumPy really seems
like overkill. I had solved it another way, then realized I really
*needed* two-dimensional arrays.

Here's my constraints (for a knitwear design project I'm working on):

1) typically an array will contain between 10k and 50k elements. Each
element will have a stitch attribute and a color attribute (think two
bytes).

2) the most mathematically advanced thing I need to do with the elements
is copy one row to the next (and apply patterning, which I don't expect to
do for a while).

Ideas?

Indeed, when I design my killer language, the identifiers "foo" and "bar"
will be reserved words, never used, and not even mentioned in the 
reference manual.  Any program using one will simply dump core without 
comment. Multitudes will rejoice. -- Tim Peters
