Thank you all for the replies. I have tried various tests on Ubuntu, and even installing numpy beforehand, apt has to come into play at some point (as has sudo). I guess it is simpler to leave dependencies up to the user. And perhaps provide a package hooked up to python-dev and python-gdal in Debian based distros.
Regards, Luís
