Thanks for the explanation :)

I've added a try/except to stop the failing unit test when Numeric is
installed.  This should now work with either Numeric or numpy.

Having the current fall back import system (trying to import Numeric,
falling back on importing numpy) makes sense for transition releases
with support for both.  However, if we all agree to do a straight
switch from Numeric to numpy for Biopython 1.49, then I think we
shouldn't try importing from Numeric at all.
