numarray was intended to replace Numeric.

numarray is stable and performs reaonably well.
If you have a specific problem, you might post a problem report to:
numpy-discussion at lists.sourceforge.net
You can also subscribe to the list.

numpy is intended to perform better and is close to a production release.
