+The Numeric Extensions to Python (NumPy) give Python the number crunching
+power of numeric languages like Matlab and IDL while maintaining all of the
+advantages of the general-purpose programming language Python.
+
+These extensions add two new object types to Python, and then include a
+number of extensions that take advantage of these two new objects.
+
+ * Multidimensional Array Objects
+ + Efficient arrays of homogeneous machine types
+ + Arbitrary number of dimensions
+ + Sophisticated structural operations
+ * Universal Function Objects
+ + Supports mathematical functions on all python objects
+ + Very efficient for Array Objects
+ * Simple interfaces to existing numerical libraries:
+ + Linear Algebra (LAPACK)
+ + Fourier Transforms (FFTPACK)
+ + Random Numbers (RANLIB)
