What's the status now? I'd love to have numpy integration, and I'd even 
like to test and provide feedback (and maybe even code)

In particular, at the moment, I'd like to have

osr.CoordinateTransformation

receive and give numpy arrays.

For what it's worth, I think it would be a fine idea for the GDAL 
bindings to require numpy (or at least the numpy array interface) -- 
that's exactly what numpy is for, and it would be somewhat easier not to 
  have a bunch of code to support either numpy or the standard Python 
data types.
