I honestly don't know what's involved, not having delved into Numarray's
API. Converting to Numarray is pretty far down on my list of PyOpenGL
todos... far enough that it's not likely to get done in the next 4-6
months, anyway (wrapping the 184 missing extensions, moving to a modern
SWIG, and adding OpenGL 1.5 and/or 2.0 support is *far* higher on the list).
Most of the Numpy-specific code is localised in a utility library which
is linked to each PyOpenGL PYD extension module. There are some places
where that idea is violated to provide custom wrappers for individual
functions, but for the most part it's true.
Enjoy yourself,
Mike
