Matrix inversion without Numpy

I want to invert a matrix without using numpy.linalg.inv.

The reason is that I am using Numba to speed up the code, but numpy.linalg.inv is not supported, so I am wondering if I can invert a matrix with 'classic' Python code.

With numpy.linalg.inv an example code would look like that:

import numpy as np
M = np.array([[1,0,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,1]])
Minv = np.linalg.inv(M)

Solution

I used the formula from http://cg.info.hiroshima-cu.ac.jp/~miyazaki/knowledge/teche23.html to write the function that does the inversion of a 4x4 matrix:

import numpy as np

def myInverse(A):
    detA = np.linalg.det(A)

    b00 = A[1,1]*A[2,2]*A[3,3] + A[1,2]*A[2,3]*A[3,1] + A[1,3]*A[2,1]*A[3,2] - A[1,1]*A[2,3]*A[3,2] - A[1,2]*A[2,1]*A[3,3] - A[1,3]*A[2,2]*A[3,1]
