It took me a while to track it down, but there used to be a module/file called 'convertcode.py' for conversion. It was mentioned as tip in Travis's 'Guide to Numpy' page 31 in Jan 6 2005 version. But the alter_code path is in Dec 7 2006 (linked at http://docs.scipy.org/doc/). It is advisable to read it as it address differences between Numeric and old numpy ie section 2.6! Thanks for the hint. I'm currently reading through this document. I'm sure this will help a lot.

convertcode.py doesn't seem to provided with current numpy releases.

Travis said in the thread: http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2006-August/010085.html "The transition approach is to use the compatibility layer first by running oldnumeric.alter_code1.py and then running alter_code2.py which will take you from the compatibility layer to NumPy (but alter_code2 is not completed yet)." My experience is, that these scripts don't work at all (any more).

Hi, Yeah I never had much success with using such codes.

Anyhow, I have attached the last version of convertcode.py I have (came with numpy 0.9.6). If you want that numpy version as does not seem to be on sourceforge please let me know (the gzipped tar file is about 930K).

Hi, thanks a lot for digging this out, but `python convertcode.py ./test.py` only adds a line '## Automatically adapted for numpy Oct 18, 2010 by convertcode.py' on top of the file. That's all. All other Numeric code in the script (including impoerts) are unchanged. I think it's the most timesaving and nerve-conserving way to let the user change his scripts manually (with the help of Travis's 'Guide to Numpy') and providing Numeric in the meantime ;-) Thanks to all respondents for the hints and links frank
