OK, now I am thoroughly confused.  Take a look at the original
traceback

    from _nc_imports import nx, inf, infinity, Infinity
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\numerix\_nc_imports.py",
line 25, in ?
    inf = infty = infinity = Infinity = (array([1])/0.0)[0]
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'numpy.ndarray' and 'float'

He is importing from _nc_imports, which is triggered by Numeric, not
numpy.  numpy lives in _sp_imports.  _nc_imports does the following

  from Numeric import array
  #...snip, snip
  inf = infty = infinity = Infinity = (array([1])/0.0)[0]

How in the world is he getting the error message pointing to an
numpy.ndarray in _nc_imports?
