The idea would be that within numpy (and we should fix SciPy as well),

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 *
I wouldn't consider having then both emit a warning. The latter one is an explicit import (albeit horrible). Iirc, that should import the testing.py, and deactivate the warnings. However, "from numpy import testing" would be a problem... Drat... Forget I said anything. The idea wouldn't work. Ben
