the latest numpy version no longer puts Numeric-compatible names in the 
default namespace:

That will work fine, if you have Numeric installed. numpy is the "wave 
of the future, but it has not yet reached a final release version. 
However, the 1.0b out now probably won't change much.

import numpy.oldnumeric as _Numeric

should work in the short term, and in the long term, the old Numeric 
names should be replaced. For example:

self._points = _Numeric.array(points).astype(_Numeric.float_)

I also like to do:

import numpy as N

or Nx, or something short. _Numeric is a lot to type!

I'm not sure who's maintaining wx.lib.plot now -- I haven't used it in ages.
