Numarray is the future, Numeric is the "past",

This statement is not obviously true. See the recent discussion on the developer lists. (Search for Numeric3.)

I stand corrected. Sorry to have conveyed a mis-impression that I have held for a while. It was my understanding that the Numeric code was so hard to maintain that our fearless leader would never let it in the codebase. Hence, Numarray was born. A quick look through some of the Numeric3 messages leaves me with the impression that Numeric3 will be more of a rebirth than a small change. I have used Numeric for several big projects (that died for commercial, rather than technical, reasons), and have certainly appreciated it. The thrust of my comment holds, however, "learning both is not much harder than learning one."
