I've read that the Numeric module is being replaced/better supported by NumPy.
Anyway, try:

X = zeros ([10,10], str)

I have numpy installed so I did:

>>> from numpy import *
>>> X = zeros ([10,10], str)
>>> X
array([['', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', ''],
       ['', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', ''],
       ['', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', ''],
       ['', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', ''],
       ['', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', ''],
       ['', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', ''],
       ['', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', ''],
       ['', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', ''],
       ['', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', ''],
       ['', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '']],
      dtype='|S1')
>>>

seemed to work, hope this helps.
