Good for us Feds! (But I'm sure some people will think it's a waste of
money) Not sure how that impacts our building here, but actually the
landscaping is not too bad considering where we are. I don't know what's
native in our front planting.

What is the correct way to find the installed location of arrayobject.h?
On fedora, I had been using:
(via scons):
import distutils.sysconfig
PYTHONINC = distutils.sysconfig.get_python_inc()
PYTHONLIB = distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(1)
NUMPYINC = PYTHONLIB + '/numpy/core/include'
But on ubuntu, this fails. It seems numpy was installed into
/usr/local/lib/..., while PYTHONLIB expands to
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages.
Is there a universal method?

I use:
import numpy
numpy.get_include()
If that is universal I cannot tell.

That's a very valid concern. It is reminiscent of a possible cause to our
lack of contributors to Mayavi: contributing to Mayavi requires knowing
VTK. One of the major benefits of Mayavi is that it makes it is to use
the power of VTK without understanding it well. The intersection of the
people interested in using Mayavi and able to contribute to it is almost
empty.
This is stricking to me, because I know a lot of who know VTK well. Most
of them couldn't care less for Mayavi: they are happy coding directly in
VTK in C++. This is also a reason why I don't code UIs any more: I simply
cannot find the resource to maintain them in proportion with the number
of users that they garner. A sad statement.

This is the sort of programming environment I would love to have in
python.

Shouldn't be hard to implement as a set of plugins to an editor.
Hope someone starts such a project.

It's great advice to say
avoid using new
instead rely on scope and classes such as std::vector.
I just want to point out, that sometimes objects must outlive scope.
For those cases, std::shared_ptr can be helpful.

I, like Travis, have my worries about C++. But if those actually doing
the work (and particularly the subsequent support) feel it is the best
language for implementation, I can live with that.
I particularly like the incremental and conservative approach to
introducing C++ that was proposed by Mark. What I would like to stress
in doing this that all along that process, extensive testing is
performed (preferably with some build-bot process) to ensure that
whatever C++ features are being introduced are fully portable and
don't present intractable distribution issues. Whatever we do, we
don't want to go far down that road only to find out that there is no
good solution in that regard with certain platforms.
We are particularly sensitive to this issue since we distribute our
software, and anything that makes installation of numpy problematic is
a very serious issue for us. It has to be an easy install on all
common platforms. That is one thing C allowed, despite all its flaws,
which is near universal installation advantages over any other
language available. If the appropriate subset of C++ can achieve that,
great. But it has to be proved continuously as it is incrementally
adopted. (I'm not much persuaded by comments like "my experience has
shown it not to be a problem")
Is there any disagreement with this?
It's less clear to me what to do about more unusual platforms. It
seems to me that some sort of testing against those that may prove
important in the future (e.g., gpus?) will be needed, but how to do
this is not clear to me.

I have been working on an application somehow similar to his approach.
Instead of trying to explain what it is I will let you see it yourselves.
