DeprecationWarnings mean some some functionality in numpy (or scipy)
has changed and the old way of doing things will be removed and be
invalid in the next version.

During depreciation the old code still works, but before you upgrade
you might want to check whether and how much you use these functions
and switch to the new behavior.

In the case of numpy.test, it means that if you have tests written
that use the numpy testing module, then you need to switch them to the
new nose based numpy.testing. And you need to install nose for running
numpy.test()
