def ks_2samp(data1, data2):
    """ Computes the Kolmogorov-Smirnof statistic on 2 samples.  Modified
    from Numerical Recipies in C, page 493.  Returns KS D-value, prob.  Not

    Returns: KS D-value, p-value


It uses the special.kolmogorov which is the asymptotic two-sided
distribution. It "looks" ok, but there are no tests for it, and I
haven't tested it either.

A quick Monte Carlo with your sample size would verify how accurate it is.
