I can anticipate one problem: the Pirates will want their three-letter abbreviation for asarray. Will functions like rand and eye always return arrays? Or will there be a day when you can tell numpy that you are working with matrices and then it will return matrices when you call rand, eye, etc? Using Tomcat but need to do more?
