[cctbxbb] scitbx without numpy - still supported?

[Nicholas Sauter]

Nick,

It was always the intention to support flex arrays in the absence of
Numpy.  If there is some refactoring to be done, this principle should be
preserved:  that Numpy is an optional rather than required dependency.

Not sure about the wording in your second sentence.  At the time we
developed flex, branching was not a code development mechanism we used.
Furthermore, not sure why you say Numpy is "exclusively" used in the flex
constructors?  Certainly there are numerous flex constructors that do not
involve Numpy?
