What happens if you start python from the directory that numpy is in and
then import Numeric? If that works, then you need to put the directory on
your path. See site.py in the standard library for how this works. [ Quick
explanation: if you have numpy at /usr/lib/python/site-packages/numpy, then
create a file named numpy.pth in /usr/lib/python/site-packages with the word
numpy as its contents. ]
