You need to install Numeric python to get the numeric library.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/
http://numeric.scipy.org/
The numeric libraries have been around for a long time (reaching version
24.2) and are well tested.
However, its developers are moving to numpy instead - at some point
BioPython will eventually need to convert its code to the replacement
library.
numarray is yet another array library.
