NumPy is primarily meant as an N-dimensional array manipulation library, so an IIR/FIR filter doesn't really fit into this. The developers are not aiming at mimicking Matlab, but are offering NumPy/ SciPy as a viable open-source alternative, where SciPy is the package to be used for mathematics, science, and engineering.
