I'm not sure about what you are saying. Of course we need to support 
PyArray_Type because it's part (a very important part) of the numpy C API. 
"import_array()" is unrelated because its role is to setup the functions to be 
called from C code, while PyArray_Type is part of static data.

Anyway, I fixed it in 7f3a776cc72a, and I think it's the "correct" fix.

ciao,
