Hi,
  although both packages are from the same source site, numpy is the newer
implementation whereas numeric is the old, deprecated implementation, right?
Why do you say in the installation docs the following?

"The Numerical Python distribution (also known an Numeric or Numpy) is a fast
implementation of arrays and associated array functionality. This is important
for a number of Biopython modules that deal with number processing. The main
web site for Numeric is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy and downloads
are available from:..."

I think it is fooling.

BTW, is numpy-1.1.0 supported?
