I don't know why, but your module seems to use numpy's multiarray instead of
Numeric's:

>>> from multiarray import zeros
>>> zeros((1,), "1")
array([0], '1')
>>> from numpy.core.multiarray import zeros
>>> zeros((1,), "1")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: data type not understood
