yup -- that simply won't work

I don't think that will work either, unless you are right, and GDAL only 
uses the Python API -- I don't think that's the case, though --don't you 
need numpy to compile the GDAL bindings?

You could probably figure out a way to import both numpys separately, 
and then pass arrays back and forth using array.view(), but that would 
get ugly really fast!
