Since you're coming from the FORTRAN world (thank you for
that stroll down Memory Lane), you might be doing scientific
computations, and so might be interested in the SciPy
package (Google scipy), which gives you arrays and matrices.
Don't expect to be able to use it without learning some Python,
though.

Actually, no (regarding memory lane :-). I'm helping a friend to
translate some of my old routines to python so he can use them in his
programs.
I'm still using fortran84, and mean to continue doing so as long as
something better doesn't come along.

But as I said, got a job that't got to be done, so I'm trying to
figure out how to do array operations as easily as possible in python,
which are necessary for all my calculations.

Best regards
