Hmmm, but isn't numpy a listed Sucrose dependancy for Activity developers to make use of? 0.86 and 0.84 for sure, possibly 0.82 as well (though maybe it was numeric back then). I remember when we switched from numeric, several activities at least back then had to be updated (Measure was one), and I've almost used numpy myself for a couple of activity ideas I've hacked about with here (one is a cellular automata sand box environment, using bricks to program the rule sets, much like TA – I should really sit down and 'get it done'). There may well be other activities relying on it.
