After the arrival of Numeric 24.x and numarray 1.5.x series, and
provided you are using a relatively new version of scipy (> 0.4.3),
I'd recommend you using the array protocol for doing this.

Using the conversion in Python space is easy:

numarray_array = numarray.asarray(scipy_array)
Numeric_array = Numeric.asarray(scipy_array)

If you are using C, you will have to use the array struct described in:
