ndtypes 0.2.0b1

Dynamic types for data description and in-memory computations.

Overview

The ndtypes module is the Python interface to the libndtypes library. libndtypes implements dynamic types relevant for scientific computing.

These types contain full memory layout information and are used both for type checking and accessing values in memory.

Types are specified using a close variant of the datashape language.

ndtypes supports other container modules. It displays types, performs type checking, and the concrete type layout information is used to traverse memory.

As an example, xnd is a container module that is based on ndtypes.
