OK, that’s enough of vectors. Honestly, I don’t want to go over every little detail. Instead, I want to show you how to use Python to help students understand vectors.

Arrays in Python give you a huge amount of flexibility for storing, organizing, and accessing data. This is crucial, not least because of Python’s popularity for use in data science.

It is possible to use generic Python objects as the dtype for a NumPy array, but if you do this, you’ll get no better performance with NumPy than you would with Python generally.

As of Python 3.11, a standard library module for TOML, tomllib provides a Python-native way to read TOML and parse it into Python objects, mainly dictionaries.
