Compute divergence of vector field using python

Question

Is there a function that could be used for calculation of the divergence of the vectorial field? (in matlab) I would expect it exists in numpy/scipy but I can not find it us

Answer 1

The divergence as a built-in function is included in matlab, but not numpy. This is the sort of thing that it may perhaps be worthwhile to contribute to pylab, an effort to create a viable open-source alternative to matlab.
