I mean, sure NumPy is integral to python finance and scientific computing...but it's also right at the heart of the popular Python roguelike tutorial, too.

There's Python code that doesn't use NumPy, sure (I've got some in production right now), but I can't personally think of a Python library with nearly as deep dependencies across nearly as diverse a range of use cases.
