NumPy, which as you say is important for all the scientific python stuff,
is not building at the moment
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=numpy 
because python-psutil needs porting for the Hurd
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=python-psutil

I cannot judge the difficulty of porting python-psutils, but is quite relevant
work.

Best wishes,
