You could put all the modules under a single package; then you only

I would think there's some more efficient way to do this though.

The API docs suggest that Variables don't support any arithmetic
operations, just slicing and attribute manipulation. They seem to
interoperate with numpy arrays though, so presumably you could avoid
explicit looping by loading the Variable's contents into a numpy
array, doing your calculations on that, and then assigning the
resulting numpy array back into a slice of the Variable.

Alternatives to floats in Python include:
* Fractions: http://docs.python.org/library/fractions.html
* Arbitrary-precision decimal floating point:
http://docs.python.org/library/decimal.html
These aren't the default for both historical and performance reasons.

write one program that writes that format and another that reads it.
The open() built-in function will open files for reading or writing,
so that's a good place to start.
Get as far as you can on your own, and if you get stuck, ask the list
for more specific help. Good luck!

Go through the tutorial on python.org if you haven't, get some code
written, and then codify your questions :) Chances a

Somewhat off-topic: Doesn't the if statement there do a lookup for a
global, which would mean that 'del _sentinel' will cause it to
