To be more precise, what we try is doing

import numpy

which fails with 

ImportError: cannot import name 'multiarray'

(whole discussion is here : https://github.com/morse-simulator/morse/pull/630)

It basically fails because python from Ubuntu is built with multiarch
option and so the libraries have extension cpython-34m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so.
It is not the case of the python embedded in binary blender.

Of course, it is always possible, in this case, to use the numpy copy
from blender (but it is not a generic solution), or to hack the
filesystem (but it is cumbersome for users).
