The current version of Pygame has no support for numpy, and adding it in 
would be significant work.  I'm working on an alternative implementation 
of Pygame, written entirely in Python, which does support numpy (in 
addition to numarray and Numeric).  It's not quite feature complete, but 
is getting there.

No Windows binaries (no compilation needed, of course) -- you can grab 
the latest with subversion.  http://pygame.org/ctypes

Alternatively you could convert access the Numeric array via numpy using 
the current version of Pygame using numpy's frombuffer() array method.
