Arrays

As discussed in Section 5.4, SIDL supports both normal and raw arrays (i.e., r-arrays). Both types of arrays are treated the same in Python bindings. That is, they both map to their Numeric Python equivalents. In the case of SIDL longs, an array of 64-bit integers may be used if Numeric Python supports 64-bit integers; otherwise, an array of Python's indefinite precision integers (i.e., integers with unlimited bits) are used.

NOTE$:$ The SIDL array API is not supported in these bindings; instead, those in Numeric Python must be used.
