Conclusion

As explained on the NumPy website, NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python. However, as illustrated in this chapter, the usage of NumPy strengths goes far beyond a mere multi-dimensional container of generic data. Using ndarray as a private property in one case (TypedList) or directly subclassing the ndarray class (GPUData) to keep track of memory in another case, we’ve seen how it is possible to extend NumPy’s capabilities to suit very specific needs. The limit is only your imagination and your experience.
