glad to hear it, but I'm a bit confused. I just tried to run the 
FloatCanvas that comes with 2.8's wx.lib, and it's not set up to use 
numpy at all -- only Numeric or numarray -- do you have one of those 
installed as well?

Something is odd with your install, I can use numpy just fine without 
messing with sys.path:

Python 2.5 (r25:51918, Sep 19 2006, 08:49:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import numpy
 >>> numpy.__version__
'1.0.1'
 >>> import numpy.fft
 >>> import numpy.linalg

I need to update FloatCanvas a lot anyway, thanks for the prompt.
