Bottleneck

Bottleneck is a collection of fast NumPy array functions written in C.

Let's give it a try. Create a NumPy array:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.array([1, 2, np.nan, 4, 5])

Find the nanmean:

>>> import bottleneck as bn
>>> bn.nanmean(a)
3.0

Moving window mean:

>>> bn.move_mean(a, window=2, min_count=1)
array([ 1. ,  1.5,  2. ,  4. ,  4.5])

Benchmark

Bottleneck comes with a benchmark suite:

>>> bn.bench()

    Speed is NumPy time divided by Bottleneck time

You can also run a detailed benchmark for a single function using, for example, the command:

>>> bn.bench_detailed("move_median", fraction_nan=0.3)

Only arrays with data type (dtype) int32, int64, float32, and float64 are accelerated. All other dtypes result in calls to slower, unaccelerated functions. In the rare case of a byte-swapped input array (e.g. a big-endian array on a little-endian operating system) the function will not be accelerated regardless of dtype.
