[gdal-dev] Requiring numpy for the Python bindings

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

The current situation where numpy is an optional dependency of the GDAL 
Python bindings is quite cumbersome to deal with our setup.py's 
setuptools . All details (a bit tricky) in 
https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues/8069 . It seems it would be simpler 
if the bindings just required numpy, which is the confugration most 
people using the bindings likely actually end up using anyway.

Any opposition to that?
