And for speed you may be better off with PyPy than with NumPy
http://speed.pypy.org/timeline/

but, as is always the case when measuring the speed of things,
'it all depends on what you are doing'.  Do you need to link to
existing Fortran or C libraries?  If the answer is no, and you
really only are doing crunching, and your crunching is done
in loops which run for a significant amount of time -- then PyPy
is generally faster than Fortran.

If you are spending most of your time in matplotlib graphing
your results, you will  be unhappy with PyPy performance.

pypy-dev@python.org is a better place to discuss performance of
PyPy, though while http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
is a better place to discuss numpy.

scipy.org has been down all day, alas.  But the Americans should be
awake now and dealing with it.
