 Using Python revision 52498 and numpy revision 3413 I get an error when
 importing numpy:

 {{{
 me at legion>python setup.py build
 ~/Work/matplotlib-svn
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "setup.py", line 118, in <module>
     import numpy
   File "/home/me/Work/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/__init__.py", line

     import core
   File "/home/me/Work/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/core/__init__.py",

 line 293
     as = a.shape
      ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax
 }}}

 It looks like the problem is the use of 'as' as a variable name. I've
 attached a patch changing it to 'a_s'.
