Um, that's like, absolutely brain-dead to a 3D game developer.  Does Numeric
Python give you a 4-byte float type?  How widely deployed is Numeric Python?
How compatible is it with everyone else's debugging and code development
tools?  A balkanized language subset sounds like it would have its problems.
