[SciPy-dev] failure importing real from Numeric in io.array_import

[eric jones]

Just got the following on one of our internal tests when using the CVS 
of SciPy:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: cannot import name real

Changing this to

from scipy_base import real, imag

fixed the problems.

I'm using Numeric 23.1.  Should I be using the Numeric CVS, or should we 
change the import statement?

thanks,
