You have installed "numpy" which is the successor to "Numeric", see:
http://numpy.scipy.org/#older_array

Confusingly both have been known as "Numerical Python"!

If you are trying to use an old program written to use Numeric, then
you could install Numeric instead - but it is no longer being
maintained.  Or try replacing those import statements with the
backwards compatiblity layer, e.g.

from Numeric import *

becomes:

from numpy.oldnumeric import *
