NumPy is a large and complex module with big portions written in C/C++. It 
covers matrix algebra and other matrix or matrix-like numeric operations.  It 
claims to superseed Numeric and NumArray.

Alas, I do not understand what sort of API's you are talking about.  NumPy is

icluding a CLI console.
