I think that's mostly due to the fact that you don't have the right C++ libraries at your disposal. Of course you know I think there are real advantages to hybrid development, but there's no reason that Python and C++ should be so different aside from access to the right libraries.
This makes it practical to accumulate the knowledge that is required to selectively skip brute force number crunching work.
I can't really imagine how you do that selective skipping nor how Python helps you get there. It all sounds very much like black magic over here.
It is very real. I feel a bit awkward bothering you with this, but to backup my point, look for "Automatic termination" near the bottom of p. 1970 of: http://cci.lbl.gov/publications/download/ba5048_reprint.pdf I realize this is not easy to grasp for non-crystallographers. Think: You can fly even though you didn't turn your arms into wings. OK, I'll shut up now. Just hoping that someone writes *the* array library that can be the foundation for any more specialized array type. What you write about your project looks more and more interesting in this respect.
