As the ongoing discussion about PixelArray has shown, there is some confusion about how it will affect pygame.surfarray, which should fully implemented in python.

There will be no visible changes regarding the surfarray module and its methods besides that it is implemented in Python.
Will the new surfarray and sndarray default to Numeric as the pygame-ctypes version does? How will one choose which array package to use? NumPy doesn't just break a program. It can breaks a program subtly*. So choosing between Numeric and NumPy cannot be automatic.
