Yes, NumPy is nicer. Numeric is showing its age. NumPy makes better use
of the Python features introduced with Python 2.2, unified types and
classes. As I mentioned though, Numeric support won't disappear from
Pygame just yet. Rather any future efforts will be concentrated on NumPy.

hi,
yeah Numpy is the much newer version of Numeric, and is compatible in
many ways. There's also a document around somewhere that tells you
what methods to use for Numeric ones where they are not compatible.
It's nicer in many regards, and Numeric has been marked obsolete a few
years ago.
So definitely update any code you can to numpy :)
cheers,

I'm not really familiar with either. When I ported the .obj file loader to
use vertex arrays (and in the future VBOs), I needed to add a vertex
attribute array, which wanted a pointer (in C). In Python, the function was
placated with array.tostring(). That was using Numeric--does NumPy have the
same thing?
