That's marvelous news.

I assume that is NumPy rather than numpy.
There is some confusion over the various names.  numpy came out around
python 1.5 but was eventually renamed Numeric, then Old Numeric.  Numarray
came out later, but was eventually renamed Old Numarray.  Finally, NumPy
came out (version 1.0 just released) which is easy for old-timers to confuse
with the original numpy, but it supersedes all the others I have mentioned.

Once NumPy is adopted by Debian (AFAIK that hasn't occurred yet) and other
leading-edge distros, I would like to change our Numeric code (which started
life as numpy code) over to NumPy.  Apparently, that transition is easy to
do.
