[Numpy-discussion] Minimal NumPy for distribution

[Nathaniel Smith]

There do exist numpy c functions that call .py file routines. I don't know
how likely you are to find them in practice, but it definitely happens.

You don't need .py files if you have .pyc files, and those can be
compressed (python can import directly from .zip files).
