[Numpy-discussion] Array of Callables

[Shane Holloway]

To the vector-processing masters of numpy!

I'm wanting to optimize calling a list (or array) of callable  
objects.  Consider the following:

vCallables = numpy.array([<python callables: fns, methods, lambdas,  
classes, builtin functions>])
vParam1 = numpy.array([<parameters for vCallables>])
vParam2 = numpy.array([<parameters for vCallables>])
vParam3 = numpy.array([<parameters for vCallables>])
vResults = numpy.array([None for e in vCallables])

Is it possible to have numpy call them in a way something like::

	for i in xrange(vCallables.shape[0]):
		vResults[i] = vCallables[i] ( vParam1[i], vParam2[i], vParam3[i]  )


With the core of that loop implemented in C?

Thanks for reading and pondering!
