During the 2.4 discussion there was a fellow who said his group was just now moving their code from numeric to numpy, but I had the feeling they were rewriting it in the process. > (I'm not even sure how you would build such a C module, these headers > are distributed in a weird directory not accessible via > np.get_include().

There is some C code in those packages and it easy to overlook its maintenance, so I'd like to solve the problem by nuking it. Chuck
