No, numarray is still a *requeriment* for compiling PyTables; NumPy and Numeric are *not needed* at all for compilation. However, if they are present (I mean, at run-time, not at compile-time), they can be used both to provide input data to be written to disk and to get output data read from disk. You can even have different objects with different flavors (currently "numarray", "numpy", "numeric" or "python") in the same PyTables file, so that you can retrieve different objects (numarray, Numpy, Numeric or pure Python) in the same session depending on its flavor (but of course, this is not for the faint-hearted ;-). It is the magic of array interface: http://numeric.scipy.org/array_interface.html that allows doing this in a very efficient manner.
