Use the numpy one then.
That scipy "DeprecationWarning" is pretty lame, given than it is much
more than just a "warning". In Sage, DeprecationWarnings are supposed
to just be warning, i.e., the first time you use the deprecated
function you see a warning message, but get output, and the next time
you don't even see a warning.

Don't use that.

Use numpy.

Use numpy.
