With recent numpy you can try a
from numpy.oldnumeric import *
this will at least provide old-style names. And I believe to remember that I've
heard about a translation script from Numeri to numpy but I don't remeber where.
However as you don't get a traceback, this seems to be more severe than the
approach above will be able to solve.
