Numarray will eventually replace NumPy

Right now, NumPy. NumArray is still alpha code, in flow and slow for many 
common operations. But as development proceeds you may consider switching. Or 
if you are interested in the internals and are willing to help out with 
development, go ahead with Numarray.

But for regular, matlab-like day to day use, stick to numpy for a while 
longer.
