Subject: [pygame] PyGame Surfarray still depends on Numeric


The pygame.surfarray module depends on Numeric, and will fail to load if
Numeric isn't installed.

The Numeric package isn't maintained any longer, and there are no Win32
binary versions for Python 2.5. I was able to get the source and install
from there, which is a workaround for the time being.

What would be necessary to break the dependency on Numeric?

I'm curious as well. I'm also suddenly in a position that I have some time I might like to devote to a potentially monotonous task. Is it simply a matter of looking for all numeric instances and finding suitable numpy replacements?

Seeing as pygame is the library that showed me how easy python was, I'd like to give back a little if I can.
