I checked NumPy license and it's under LGPL. The texts are actually identical with MDP. Here is the license document: http://svn.scipy.org/svn/numpy/trunk/LICENSE.txt
It will be cool to add it to external directory. I tested NumPy and it works fine with WinXP, appreciate very much for testing on the other platforms.
I do not have a planned time-frame, I think it is fine with me for one to two weeks. Philippe, you have other comments?
Best,

It would not go into the chandler directory at all, but rather would be
added to the external directory. We would also need to add NumPy as
MDP lists it as a dependency. Has NumPy's license been checked?
MDP, because it is a pure python lib, would be easy to add. NumPy I
will need to test on the three platforms to make sure it's C extensions
are built correctly in our build environment.
Let me know what the timeframe for this is.
thanks,
