The problem is the existing code out there which does:
import numpy as np
...
np.testing.utils.assert_almost_equal(x, y)
(That is, without an additional import), and other code which does
from numpy.testing import *
There's no way to make these both give a warning without some
horrible hack, like interposing our own __import__ or sticking
some non-module object into sys.modules.
Down that path lies madness, and the corpses of many earlier
attempts.
Perhaps the latest Python import hooks might have a solution,
but it's not something I want to spend time solving.
