[SciPy-User] Does SciPy already supersed NumPy?

[Sebastian Wagner]

If you have problems with the functionality from the numpy functions, 
these don't belong to Scipy but to numpy.
It's better readable when the modules and their functions are separated, 
as they also have different aims and target audience.
You can't run a code without Scipy, even if it does only depend on 
Numpy-functions.
