Only "violation of protocol" might be not pasting in more of the real
error message. :-)  There should have been a little traceback there
showing the failing line.  Better yet, paste in the entire interactive
session where you did the "import array" and the error.  You might
also type "array.__file__" while you're doing that so we can see what
it shows as well.

The array module had fromfile() since at least 1.5.2 so it's something
you're doing...
