out of curiosity,
would something like this affect efficiency (and/or work):

class Notify(numpy.ndarray):
    def __setitem__(self, *args):
        self.notify(*args)
        return super(Notify, self).__setitem__(*args)

    def notify(self, *args):
        print 'notify:', args


with also overriding setslice?
