I don't know what i did wrong. I am running python 2.2.3 and
numarray-0.6.1
you are mixing your 'numarray' with 'Numeric'. you'll want to install
the Numeric packages to work with pygame. Numeric is the 'old' version
of these libraries. numarray is the next generation and has many new
features. unfortunately it doesn't quite work with pygame yet.
it's going to be too hard to support both Numeric and numarray and I
have a feeling after the next major pygame release we will start
transitioning to the newer numarray.
the Numeric developers have not released a windows binary of Numeric
for python2.3, I have made one available here if needed.

here is a quick guide to the differences between Numeric and numarray

i believe once numarray reaches 1.0 it will have an api freeze and
attempt to be included in the python standard lib (woohoo)
