When experimenting with Numpy, I found:
In [1]: numpy.numarray
Out[1]: 'removed'
In [2]: type(numpy.numarray)
Out[2]: str
What is numpy.numarray? What is it's purpose in Numpy? Why does it only say 'removed'?

Do you know what it did before it was removed? What purpose did it serve? I'm just curious to find out.S. Gamgee– S. Gamgee2016-09-21 15:59:22 +00:00Commented Sep 21, 2016 at 15:59

numarray was a predecessor of numpy. A long time ago, there were several packages (numarray, numeric), which had lots of overlap, and eventually were superceded by numpy.
(Wikipedia has a whole section on numpy history, if you're into this sort of stuff.)
numarray was removed in 1.9. It has probably been replaced by this string, so that attempts to reference it would lead to something legible. In any case, there is nothing useful in this anymore.
