The immediate problem is in scalartypes.c.src in these lines

    {"sort",
        (PyCFunction)gentype_sort,
        METH_VARARGS, NULL},
    {"argsort",
        (PyCFunction)gentype_argsort,
        METH_VARARGS, NULL},

But the methods array_{argsort, sort} take keywords and are called that way.
The following version fixes things, but I am not sure it is the correct fix,
the gentype_* functions may need to be fixed instead.

    {"sort",
        (PyCFunction)gentype_sort,
        METH_VARARGS|METH_KEYWORDS, NULL},
    {"argsort",
        (PyCFunction)gentype_argsort,
        METH_VARARGS|METH_KEYWORDS, NULL},
