Actually, I have the docs installed on my system. But they didn't help
me with this specific question. I looked into the description of array
and searched the indexes for something that might be appropriate, but
found nothing useful.

Now(!) that I know that it exists, I found the docs included in the
python-numeric Debian package...


I must admit that I didn't invest any substantial time into Python, so
far. I was trying to do something in Perl, a language I've been using
for almost 10 years, but unfortunately only 3 times each year. This time
it was just killing me and thus I decided to go for Python to keep my
sanity.
