Alan,
Thanks a lot again for taking care of that. In the meanwhile:

* is there a way to select only some tests ? It used to be a time not that 
long ago (less than 6 weeks) where I was able to run one specific test of a 
suite (for example, numpy/ma/tests/test_core.py), and that's no longer the 
case. 

* Running the whole test suite with import numpy; numpy.test() works fine, but 
I don't really need to test the rest of numpy when I'm messing with 
numpy.ma...

* Running nosetests on numpy/ma fails (I can't import numpy from the source 
directory), but works partially on numpy/ma/tests: the test_old_ma tests fail 
for asking some arguments when 0 is provided: for example:
================================================
ERROR: test_old_ma.testta
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/nose/case.py", line 203, in runTest
    self.test(*self.arg)
TypeError: testta() takes exactly 2 arguments (0 given)

Thx again
