>Description:
PR ports/130031 requested that the dependency on math/py-numeric be replaced with a dependency on math/py-numpy because PyCairo 1.4.0 removed Numeric Python support. However, that change <http://url.ie/11fl> didn't introduce a dependency on NumPy; all it did was remove some needless cruft from the bindings. All that cairo.ImageSurface.create_for_data() requires is an object that can be flattened by PyObject_AsWriteBuffer() such as an instance of array.array, a NumPy array of some kind, &c. This is demonstrated by the sample files within the distribution's test directory.

It's a good idea to commit this change as math/py-numpy pulls in quite a few rather large dependencies of its own that take a long time to build.
