Thanks Christopher that's wot I meant but I was rushin' out the door....
Also, you'll find some of the matplotlib examples, amongst many others, still try to import numeric or even numarray. I've yet to have a problem by replacing them with numpy. Of course I haven't done intensive testing.... Also, I noticed that the manual at http://numpy.scipy.org/numpy.pdf still contains references to numarray. There's hope for us all!

This is the reason I pointed to the scipy site. Life moves too quickly sometimes.....
