   And that's what the first line in the tab display box indicates.

   That it is not importing during startup is the problem here that needs
fixing.

   Not in the GUI window, but in the virtual console, yes.

Launching <wxpython> GUI in the background, please wait...

             This module requires the Numeric/numarray or NumPy module,
             which could not be imported.  It probably is not installed
             (it's not part of the standard Python distribution). See the
             Numeric Python site (http://numpy.scipy.org) for information on
             downloading source or binaries.

   It should also work with wxPython-2.8.12.1 and python-2.7.5. But, when I
highlighted the text with the trackball it would not paste in the alpine
urxvt window. Alpine's a text-based MUA, not a GUI-based one.
