I was about to move it to the propagated inputs, when I recalled myself that matplotlib uses a special version of numpy. This special version does not build the documentation as for that it needs matplotlib. So, the special version is a 'bootstrap' version which should not be installed in a profile and should only be used for its purpose (it's not even exported). So, I think it's not possible to propagate the regular version of numpy. Regards, Fede
