SRPM Name or Url: python-numarray-1.3.3-1.src.rpm
Description: 

Numarray provides array manipulation and computational capabilities similar to those found in IDL, Matlab, or Octave. Using numarray, it is possible to write many efficient numerical data processing applications directly in Python without using any C, C++ or Fortran code (as well as doing such analysis interactively within Python or PyRAF). For algorithms that are not well suited for efficient computation using array facilities it is possible to write C functions (and eventually Fortran) that can read and write numarray arrays that can be called from Python.

Numarray is a re-implementation of an older Python array module called Numeric. In general its interface is very similar. It is mostly backward compatible and will be becoming more so in future releases. Numarray offers more capability than Numeric but is still behind Numeric in some areas:

A question here - there are include files in this package, that perhaps need to be put into a -devel package, but all the libraries are .so, and presumably need to be in the main package.
