That first package should have been numpy:
<http://numpy.scipy.org/>

As for putting things on the web - take a look at Sage:
<http://www.sagemath.org/> - it's a power pack of mathematical
software (which bundles the three above, along with many, many
others) - and provides a web-based notebook interface for
interactive and collaborative work.
