The numexpr package evaluates multiple-operator array expressions many times faster than NumPy can. It accepts the expression as a string, analyzes it, rewrites it more efficiently, and compiles it to faster Python code on the fly. It's the next best thing to writing the expression in C and compiling it with a specialized just-in-time (JIT) compiler, i.e. it does not require a compiler at runtime. Also, and since version 1.4, numexpr implements support for multi-threading computations straight into its internal virtual machine, written in C. This allows to bypass the GIL in Python, and allows near-optimal parallel performance in your vector expressions, most specially on CPU-bounded operations (memory-bounded were already the strong point of Numexpr).
