[Python-modules-team] Bug#589592: FTBFS: __multiarray_api.h:1208: error: 'NPY_API_VERSION' was not declared in this scope

[Soeren Sonnenburg]

Package: python-numpy
Version: 1:1.4.1-2
Severity: normal

This bug in numpy also causes shogun to FTBS. IMHO the right fix would
be to use

#include "numpy/_numpyconfig.h"

in 

/usr/share/pyshared/numpy/core/include/numpy/numpyconfig.h
