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.
