I did an 'in accordance with numpy website' install of the latest
version of numpy, and installed it in my home directory so as not
overwrite the system installation.  As I am not a python developer I
had to install build dependencies (the 'cython' and
'python-setuptools' packages) to get the build to work.

It all now works, so I am happy :)
