Well, to say the truth none of both ;-). The truth is that I was trying to accelerate some parts of my software and realized that numarray was an important bottleneck. NumPy was already in advanced beta stage and some small benchmarks conviced me that it would be the solution. So, I started porting one single C extension (PyTables has several), the simplest one, and checked that the results were correct (and confirmed that the new code was much faster!). After that, the second extension came converted and I'm in the process of checking everything. Now, there remains 3 more extensions to migrate, but the important ones for me are done. So, no plans other than having a good motivation (and the need for speed was a very good one). However, I think that having a complete test suite checking every detail of your software was key. Also, having access to the excellent book by Travis was extremely helpful. Finally, having IPython opened to check everything, look at online docstrings and be able to do fast timings added the "cerise sur le gâteau".
