Had trouble posting this to the same thread above. Request above to 
provide response from numpy mail list.

Wayne - The DeprecationWarnings are being raised by SciPy, not by your
code. You probably don't have a recent version of SciPy installed. The
most recent release of SciPy is 0.7.1 and works with NumPy 1.3.0. I
don't think you will see the warnings if you upgrade SciPy and NumPy
on your system.

Check your NumPy and SciPy versions at a python prompt as follows:

 >>> >>> import numpy as np
 >>> >>> print np.__version__
 >>> >>> import scipy as sp
 >>> >>> print sp.__version__
You will need to completely remove the old versions if you choose to
upgrade. You should be able to do this from "Add/Remove Programs".

Cheers,
Scott
