to clarify:

"numpy" is a newer, next-generation version of the old and venerable 
"Numeric". numpy is newer, better, an under active development. The API 
is very similar, but not exactly the same as Numeric, so if you have an 
old package that requires Numeric, you may still need to use it. If this 
is the case:

1) Encourage the providers of said package to port to numpy -- it's not 
very hard, and the numpy developers will help.

2) let us know all your version and platform info, and where you got 
your Numeric build, and we may be able to help.

if you can use numpy, get it from:

http://pythonmac.org/packages
