N-dimensional array package
- More memory efficient that python List type, with vector operations implemented in C.
- Data is interpreted in 2 ways:
- As N dimensional Arrays (for data buffers)
- 2D Matrix types (for linear algebra).
- Algebra operations are implemented in 2 ways:
- Short-hand convenience operators eg.(d = (a+b)*c).
- Memory efficient "ufuncs" that avoid temporary variables multiply eg.(sum(a,b,out=d),c,out=d).

2D plotting library which produces publication quality figures in a variety of hardcopy formats and interactive environments across platforms.
- A central Python analytical plotting library that many other libraries use.
- Very comprehensive, very interactive, but not suitable for real-time plotting.
- Can be embedded in Qt applications and IPython notebooks.
- Two programming modes:
- State-based Matlab-Like pyplot for interactive plotting commands (usefull for IPython notebook).
- Full object-oriented API for software development.

Optimising static compiler for both the Python programming language and the extended Cython programming language
- Used to bind C and Python
- Convert any Python (.py) to Cython (.pyc) by changing the file extension.
- Add Cython specific syntax including static types, function type information, and disable limit checking to optimize code.
- Compile as a shared object (.so) and import into Python.

| Numba |
With a few annotations, array-oriented and math-heavy Python code can be just-in-time (JIT) compiled to native machine instructions, similar in performance to C, C++ and Fortran, without having to switch languages or Python interpreters.
- Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler that uses LLVM compiler to compile Python code on the fly.
- The code is compiled on first execution and may produce lag.
- Can be used to optimize Python code without converting to Cython using (@)decorators.
- Add "@jit" for lazy function optimization.
- Add addtional function type information for better optimization.
