Some python scripts are not compatible with numpy 1.8.2

This is not really an important issue, but some of the python scripts in the examples use functionality that is not supported by numpy 1.8.2, e.g. cbrt, dtype args in linspace, etc. This is the version of numpy that ships with Ubuntu 14.04, which is still widely used (my computer and all computing nodes in Ghent I use still run it).

Sometimes the scripts can be made compatible with very little changes, and it annoys me a bit that I have to make the same changes every time I fetch a fresh copy of the repository. But I also have to admit I haven't found a proper solution for the missing cbrt yet.

Is it worth my time to go through the scripts and make them numpy 1.8.2 compatible?
