It provides:
- a powerful N-dimensional array object
- sophisticated (broadcasting) functions
- tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code
- useful linear algebra, Fourier transform, and random number capabilities
Testing:
NumPy requires `pytest` and `hypothesis`. Tests can then be run after installation with:
python -c "import numpy, sys; sys.exit(numpy.test() is False)"
