What do you mean by "*do* the multivariate normal distribution" (emphasis
mine)?  numpy.random has multivariate_normal for generating samples; I wrote
a little cookbook example (
http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/CorrelatedRandomSamples) before I realized
multivariate_normal existed.

But I think you want more than just generating samples, right?
