Here is the post at Travis Oliphant's blog about numba

As it is said there, it's still early software and its "road-map is being defined right now by the people involved in the project". Sure the subset is not well defined now and there are no docs, but hey - let's give the thing a few months.

Haven't tested thoroughly yet, but I think no NumPy calls can be made from inside a numba-compiled function - so this might be the case for other Python modules as well.



Actually some NumPy calls can be made inside the numba-compiled function as there is nascent support for the NumPy C-API --- it translates the call to a C-call.

In the future, we want to support all Python, but not necessarily optimized --- just using the Python Object C-API.
