Are you talking about the two tools written for Python?
http://www.numpy.org/
http://pandas.pydata.org/

I think you should ask on the specific forum for

The maintainer there has before on request packed different
Python tools into the pre-build Python kits for OpenVMS. Then
you have it ready to run with no additional installation.
You can at least ask...
