Some good news, it turned out Ubuntu had both Python versions installed; 
you just type python2 or python3 (I don't know how to change the default 
'python' version).

And of course the numpy I installed was for Py2, so do it again...

Now I can test it (using that Mandelbrot program). But it didn't make 
any difference. I think it was actually faster without using numpy.

So in that example, it was just using it to set up a 2D table. (Maybe it 
needs a numpy table to extract the type info for doing further 
optimisations, but for my test it wasn't necessary.)
