I haven't actively been following the development of numarray, but I 
understand that it is almost identical to Numeric.  Does anybody know of 
any differences that would be relevant to Gnuplot.py?  Is it imported 
under a different name, or does one still "import Numeric"?

If Gnuplot.py would require changes to use numarray, then the most 
important question is when to make the transition.  It's unlikely that 
the whole Python community will switch from one library to the other on 
the same day!

Ideally, there would be a way to use Numeric and/or numarray and/or 
JNumeric or none of the above (native Python sequences).  There would 
need to be a way to decide which to use at the time that Gnuplot.py is 
imported.

Anybody have any thoughts on this issue?
