Lists/tuples are *far* less efficient than numpy or ctypes arrays. The ctypes arrays behave much like lists-of-numbers or lists-of-lists-of-numbers, but are more efficient, especially if you're going to pass the data back in. That said, yes, would be nice to see it go all the way, just for completeness. Have fun, Mike -- ________________________________________________ Mike C.
