Inline::Python3::NumPy - Zero-copy NumPy array integration


use Inline::Python3;
use Inline::Python3::NumPy;


# Create NumPy array in Python
$py.run(q:to/PYTHON/);
import numpy as np
data = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], dtype='float64')
PYTHON


# Get zero-copy access
my $arr = $py.numpy-array($py.run('data', :eval).ptr);


# Direct element access (no copying)
say $arr[0, 0];  # 1
$arr[1, 2] = 42;  # Modifies Python array

This module provides zero-copy access to NumPy arrays from Raku. It allows:


item

Zero-copy operations are orders of magnitude faster than converting arrays:
- Element access: ~100ns (vs ~1ms for conversion)
- No memory allocation for access
- Direct pointer arithmetic


- Only contiguous arrays support direct indexing
- Limited dtype support (common numeric types)
- Multi-dimensional indexing requires manual calculation


Create a NumPyArray wrapper from a Python object pointer.


Get element at given indices (zero-copy).


Set element at given indices (zero-copy).


Get typed view of raw data (int8, int16, int32, int64, num32, num64).
