In short: Don't hold your breath for numpy support on App Engine.<p>The news is that, a handful of people today began <i>commenting</i> on the issue ("Please add NumPy [to Google App Engine]"), presumably because someone on some mailing list urged this action (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=190#c66" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=19...</a>). Google mails all people that follow this issue whenever there is a comment, meaning that if you have voted for this issue you have ended up with ten "me too" emails in your inbox today. Which led to followup comments like this one: "Please stop to comment for nothing!!! It's spamming all of us (and sorry for this message)
What is that pressure starring for one day now?? Are you all in the same team??"<p>Google has ignored this issue for over two years. They also ignored "No way to delete an application" (which sucked, given the small quota on App Engine applications you can build) for almost a year and a half (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=335&can=1&q=delete&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Stars%20Owner%20Summary%20Log%20Component" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=33...</a>), despite 1000 votes and 100 comments. Deletion is clearly a simple fix, so you shouldn't assume that community requests would really sway Google.
