Visual Numerics Announces PyIMSL

New Python Wrappers for the IMSL C Library deliver prototype to production numerical application development.

Visual Numerics, Inc. (VNI; Houston, TX) announced PyIMSL, a pre-built, fully tested, and documented collection of Python wrappers to the mathematical and statistical algorithms in the IMSL C Numerical Library.

With PyIMSL, developers can use Python and the IMSL C Library for rapid prototyping of numerical applications. For production applications, they can directly deploy the Python application into production or, if they choose to rewrite the application in C/C++, use the same mathematical and statistical algorithms in both development environments. PyIMSL lets developers get consistency between the algorithms used for prototyping as used for production, reducing the cost and time-to-market to move numerical applications from prototype to production.

Visual Numerics has developed Python wrappers for all IMSL C Library numerical analysis functionality. Developers can now write applications in Python and have PyIMSL wrappers call code in IMSL C Library DLLs or shared libraries. The PyIMSL API closely matches the IMSL C Library API, so any applications that are taken from a Python prototype to a C/C++ production environment will make use of the IMSL C Library mathematics and statistics functions by simply calling the same API. With no differences in prototype and production algorithms, developers can create applications quicker and with fewer differences that need to be resolved.

PyIMSL is available at no charge to current IMSL C Library customers and developers must have the IMSL C Library V5.5 or higher installed to use PyIMSL.

Please contact Visual Numerics, Inc. for details.
