Ah, that would explain it.   Somehow I missed that in the docs -- too 
focused on finding something related to Numeric, I guess.  Thanks for 
clarifying that.

Looking further on the Numeric site, I have also found this:

Version 20.3
   Please note that the __future__ options wrt integer division in Python 
2.2 are NOT available in Numeric at this time.

at <http://www.pfdubois.com/numpy/changes.txt>.

I guess it's time to wait a bit longer. :(
