AFAIK you ought to switch to numpy (which is maintained). ;-)
According to the people behind numeric, users ought to switch to NumPy
"as quickly as possible"
see the "Older Array Packages" section at the bottom here:
http://numpy.scipy.org/
Moreover, IIRC pygame's use of Numeric causes problems for those
trying to use Numpy and py2exe, which apparently gets confused when
dealing with both Numeric and Numpy. I was forced to unroll my
migration to Numpy as a result; updating Pygame's obsolete references
to Numeric would definitely be nice!
Just a thought:
If NumPy is backward compatible with Numeric, couldn't we just do an
'import Numpy as Numeric' or something?
or maybe have a whole additional script that imports the specific
functions from Numpy as the corresponding functions from Numeric?
and do something similar to 'from pygame.locals import *' we could do
'from pygame.fixLegacy import *' or something, and it would
import all of the Numpy functions under the old Numeric names.
