Sorry for the stupid question, but my English knowledge just covers
reading and writting (the last, not so good)

At the very begining, http://scipy.org/ says

SciPy (pronounced "Sigh Pie") ...

Then, for the other guy, this assertion

NumPy (pronounced "Num Pie", "Num" as in "Number") ...

whould be valid?

Yes, that is how I pronounce them.

I'll admit I've been pronouncing them num-pee because I think it's more
endearing even though I've been told by many others that num-pie is the
pronunciation most people use.
