[Numpy-discussion] product of arrays of different lengths

[Simon Palmer]

Thanks very much everyone, this has been very helpful.  I have been doing
some timing of my own and the order of magnitude difference that numpy
provides wins.  I'm learning python as I go so some of my questions come
from a lack of language skillls, but it is good to get to know the numpy
dialect too.
