</div>Let me note one more thing here: if you think of writing number<br>
crunching in C, things will get more complicated: you will need to<br>
compile and ship the binaries somehow - the plugin repository does not<br>
accept plugins with architecture dependent binaries. Maybe try to have<br>
a look at numpy module, it's fairly common for fast array/matrix<br>
operations in python.<br>
