I doubt if Python's module is case sensitive, if so, can I just modify the numeric.py to Numeric.py without any latent problems? Thanks a lot!

Are you sure that's the right Numeric?

There is a Numeric package which predates numarray, see 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy

I suspect that's what the Atamai Viewer is looking for...

As far as I understand, Numeric is no longer maintained, and 
people are encouraged to use Numarray instead, but I don't
think that you can expect programs written for Numeric to work
with Numarray.

Try installing the last version of Numeric from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369&package_id=1351
