[Cython] Failure with asarray(memoryview) on Python 2.4

[Pauli Virtanen]

Hi,

This doesn't work on Python 2.4 (works on >= 2.5):

------------
cimport numpy as np
import numpy as np

def _foo():
    cdef double[:] a
    a = np.array([1.0])
    return np.asarray(a)

def foo():
    print _foo()
------------

Spotted when using Cython 1.6 in Scipy. Results to:

Python 2.4.6 (#1, Nov 20 2010, 00:52:41)
