[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] import Numeric

[Dave Stinchcombe]

Dear Folks,
this may seem a really stupid query but here goes.
When I use import Numeric, instead of from Numeric import *
I get the following problem.
>>> import Numeric
>>> a = Numeric.array([1,2,3,4], Float)
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: Float
I get no such problem just using from Numeric import *. 
The versions of NumPy I have are NumPy-1.0b3 and NumPyLib-1.0b2.
Can someone tell if I'm being dense or not please.
Thanks
Dave Stinchcombe
