None of this is as fast or efficient as implementing most of the stuff in python/scipy and reimplementing the occasional hot spot in C++ :)

I've found Matlab to consistently outperform numpy (the gap growing in recently releases adding multithreading supprt to Matlab), and the C++ interface is pretty much equally convenient. (Weave is awesome for python, but only really usable in small toy problems.)
