Here is an example that works for any working numpy installation:

import numpy as npy
npy.zeros((256, 256)).

If those are the first two statements at python prompt, and it does
not work, your numpy installation is broken. In that case, which
platform and how did you install numpy would be useful information to
help you better.

Those were not demeaning statements, and the line that works was shown
to you. I strongly suspect that either you did not give use enough
information, or that your numpy installation is broken.
