+XVIII. As of release 5.9.6 we have deprecated support for the python
+Numeric array extensions. Numeric is no longer maintained and users
+of Numeric are advised to migrate to numpy. Numpy has been the standard
+for plplot for some time. If numpy is not present plplot will now 
+disable python by default. If you still require Numeric support in the
+short term then set USE_NUMERIC to ON in cmake. The plplot support 
+for Numeric will be dropped in a future release.
