I'm not quite sure what incompatibilities there are, but numpy appears 
to be intended as the dominant version from now on. See 
http://scipy.org/NumPy for information. There's a module in NumPy which 
will apparently convert existing Python Numeric code to work with NumPy.

Having NumPy, SciPy (www.scipy.org) and matplotlib (matplotlib.sf.net) 
in SL would be very useful: they're certainly becoming widespread 
numerical processing packages these days.
