If you're looking for a fast solution then you should follow David's
suggestion and use numpy:

The most relevant numpy function is numpy.dot:

P.S. David, it was a bit fiddly for me to quote your response because
the relevant part was in a post that had no context. Also your name is
listed as Dwight above. That is automatically added by gmail because
of the settings in your own email client. You may need to change your
account settings if you want it to say David when people quote you.
