[Numpy-discussion] Import patch

[Paul Anton Letnes]

Hi.

When looking at the loadtxt/savetxt tickets, I noticed that the 're' module is imported in an odd place. I therefore suggest that this import is moved to the top of the file, in order to gather these as much as possible. I find the code easier to read then. After all, there is no 'try / catch' or similar to check if the module exists. See patch below. I do not believe any tests or tickets are needed - correct me if I am wrong.

Cheers,
Paul.
