This patch was created as a difference with r983 in SVN.  The changes 
are straightforward and discussed here:

http://www.scipy.org/Porting_to_NumPy

under the PyGame header.

I tested the results on my Ubuntu system and the arraydemo and sound 
demo programs seemed to work fine.

It would be great if this patch could be incorporated as soon as 
possible so that PyGame is using the currently supported Numerical 
package for Python.

Did you confirm that pygame.surfarray.pixels_alpha() returns a 
writable array?  
I didn't check.  Could you show me code that demonstrates the problem. 

This was one problem I had when I tried writing a numpy patch a few 
weeks back. The other was that the "striped" and "scaleup" parts of 
arraydemo.py came out all black. I take it these work with this patch.

These work.   The "soften" image comes out all black and I haven't 
determined the cause of that.
