NumPy has been installed in the version of Python in the Athena release.
NumPy is a library that adds a variety of numeric routines to Python,
primarily for matrix manipulation, linear algebra and Fourier transformation.
Currently it's only working on Linux as there is a bug that breaks it on Suns.
We expect that this will be fixed in an upcoming Athena patch release.
To use it type "from numpy import *" (without the quotes) at the
Python >>> prompt, followed by the desired NumPy command.
