Create Neighborhood with Numpy array to calculate slope

[AndrewRettig]

I am hoping someone has experience with creating a neighborhood to calculate the slope for each pixel in a raster.  I can easily convert the raster to an array and then do a calculation and convert back to a raster.  However, I have no experience in creating a 5x5 neighborhood to calculate the slope in numpy or if this is even possible.

Any help or resources would be appreciated.

Perhaps use the SciPy NDImage package to implement your slope algorithm.
http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.ndimage.filters.generic_filter.html

i.e

import scipy.ndimage

def CustomSlope(numpy_array):
   #Do something

slope = scipy.ndimage.generic_filter(elevation_array, CustomSlope, size=(5,5))
