William,

numpy_rw.py already tries to skip the tests if it thinks the old-gen
bindings aren't supported.  But I think the test is incomplete.  Now it does:

     gdaltest.numpy_drv = None
     try:
         import Numeric
         import gdalnumeric
     except:
         return 'skip'

     import _gdal
     gdal.AllRegister()
     _gdal.GDALRegister_NUMPY()

Perhaps the _gdal.GDALRegister_NUMPY() should also be inside the
try block.  Hmm, I'm really not sure why this script is calling
gdal.AllRegister() or _gdal.GDALRegister_NUMPY() for that matter.
It seems like importing gdal should already have ensured this was
done.

Hmm, Howard?  Can we merge numpy_rw.py and numpy_rw_ng.py and make sure
they are pretty bulletproof in old-style and new style bindings?

I don't see these problems, but it turns out it is because I don't
have numpy or Numeric installed.

Best regards,
