Dear Pierre,

When looking at the linear algebra man page, it claims that the 
subroutines inside should be used for small matrices only and that LAPACK 
should be used for large matrices. Then I went to google and searched for 
to find a python wrapper over LAPACK and I find references to linalg. Is 
this the same as the linalg of pygsl? Is this something else?

Ultimately, I need to deal with large amtrices indeed, and so if I need to 
use LAPACK I would need the correct python wrapper for this. Can you 
please help me with this? Thanks,
