numarray is being phased out and replaced by numpy.STScI has migrated all of its software to use numpy, and the current release of stsci_python and STSDAS/TABLES uses numpy in place of numarray.For the moment, PyFITS can use either numpy or numarray, but the numarray support will eventually be removed. We will continue to make numarray available, however support for numarray will be significantly reduced, and we expect to stop supporting numarray entirely in the middle of 2008. We strongly recommend starting with numpy instead of numarray, and those users who already have numarray-dependent software should switch as soon as possible. We have developed a guide to help conversion of code that uses numarray to code that uses numpy. This PDF document can be found at numarray2numpy.pdf
