I gave you a brief rundown on this list already.

And I'll note again that a fuller discussion is given in Chapter 2 of the _Guide
to NumPy_.

And yet again, the best place for numpy questions is the numpy mailing list, not
here. Here, you will get maybe one or two people responding to you, usually me,
and I'm a cranky SOB. There you will get much nicer people answering your
questions and more fully.
