Technically, when you write an extension module you really should use
import_array(); in the init method of the extensions module. This ensures
that the C-API is loaded so that the API -table is available if your C++ code
uses the C-API at all.
In this case you are just using some #defines that access the NumPy array
structure, so it works without the import_array(). However, this could change
in future releases (i.e. PyArray_DIMS and PyArray_DATA could become functions
that are looked up in an API-table that must be loaded by import_array() ).
