[Biopython-dev] Numeric/numpy - Bio/Affy/CelFile.py

Michiel & Brad,

It was my impression that for the next release of Biopython (or next
few releases?) we would support either numpy or Numeric (decided at
compile time for the C code, but at run time for pure-python modules).

I notice that with CVS revision 1.5 of Bio/Affy/CelFile.py, this file
only uses numpy (dropping support for Numeric).
http://code.open-bio.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/biopython/Bio/Affy/CelFile.py.diff?r1=1.4&r2=1.5&cvsroot=biopython

Was this just an oversight, or to resolve some incompatibility between
Numeric and numpy?  It would be nice to support both...

Peter
