Mailman 3 list to array is slow - NumPy-Discussion

July 22, 2010

      Hi,

any idea why the simple code below is so slow ?

import numpy as n
from time import time as t

dims = (640,480)
m = n.random.random( dims )

l=[]

for i in range(200):
        l.append(m)

t0=t()
b=n.array(l)
print t()-t0

To convert the list into an array takes about 5 sec ...

Thanks,
marco
