[Numpy-discussion] numexpr question

[Neal Becker]

I'm interested in trying numexpr, but have a question (not sure where's the best 
forum to ask).

The examples I see use

ne.evaluate ("some string...")

When used within a loop, I would expect the compilation from the string form to 
add significant overhead.  I would have thought a pre-compiled form would be 
available, similar to a precompiled regexp.  yes/no?
