Public bug reported:

Blender 2.79 comes with Python package numpy by default.  However it is
not included in the distribution through the package manager.  I
initially asked a question, however the immediate answer to the question
was to report the bug.

More detail:

specifically, I'm beginning to use "Animation Nodes", but I can't
activate the add-on giving me the error: "...Animation nodes requires
the numpy package.  Unfortunately the blender build you have does not
include it.  Please download... " blah, blah.

After a bunch of googling around I was not able to find a good solution.
I also ran into problems actually downloading blender directly - Kubuntu
is giving me grief for some other issues.

So i decided to raise the issue with you - the source of the package,
and ask that you include it.  I realize there is probably a good reason
why you removed it from blender, however it really needs to be included
so that we can use community developed add-ons.

If there is an official workaround, please let me know.  Perhaps there
is a way to force blender to use the system-wide distribution?? (which
I've updated completely - great for using python - but animation nodes
are still having issues)

Thanks for taking a look!
