numarray - was trying to freeze wxmpl matplotlib and wxpython

Hi all,

First thanks to all those who have been helping out - it is really appreciated.

I have cross posted to the numarray, py2exe and matplotlib lists

I have attempted to use numarray from cvs but I can't build it - no VC7

clang - did a penny drop anywhere?

I am working with python 2.4.1 and numarray 1.3.3 for 2.4 (obviously)

Since I couldnt build numarray - I looked at the new import code in the cvs init module and ripped it off and stuffed it into my numarray installation and then when that didnt work - I jammed it right up front of my application.

It looks like this

def main():
     import numarray.numarrayall
     from numarray.numinclude import version as __version__

     # stolen from next numarray version in cvs TjB

     import numarray._conv
     import numarray._sort
     import numarray._bytes
     import numarray._ufunc
     import numarray._ufuncBool
     import numarray._ufuncInt8
     import numarray._ufuncUInt8
     import numarray._ufuncInt16
     import numarray._ufuncUInt16
     import numarray._ufuncInt32
     import numarray._ufuncUInt32
     import numarray._ufuncFloat32
     import numarray._ufuncFloat64
     import numarray._ufuncComplex32
     import numarray._ufuncComplex64
     import numarray._ndarray
     import numarray._numarray
     import numarray._chararray
     import numarray._objectarray
     import numarray.memory
     import numarray._converter
     import numarray._operator
     import numarray._numerictype
     import numarray.libnumarray
     import numarray.libnumeric
     import numarray._ufuncInt64
     import numarray._ufuncUInt64

     print numarray.__version__

     application = BoaApp(0)

Still no go - but a changed error message.... grrr

I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "AEMdaApp.py", line 81, in ?
   File "AEMdaApp.py", line 41, in main

   File "numarray\_ndarray.pyc", line 9, in ?
   File "numarray\_ndarray.pyc", line 7, in __load
ImportError: init_ndarray: can't find memory.new_memory

ok I confess my bottom lip trembled....

then - probably because I was reading the numarray manual this morning - I went to my numarray install and decided to run testall.py

I got

and so on for quite some time.

Hmm the message about
  memory.memory_from_string
and my applications
  ImportError: init_ndarray: can't find memory.new_memory

are these a little related? Am I clutching at straws?

Yet my app runs fine under any ide I wish to use.

WAIT! - my install of numarray is broken....
I deleted it and reinstalled - still broken
I installed on my laptop and tested - broken there too

My legacy python 2.3 and numarray 1.3.3 installation passes all the tests just fine.

Is there a problem with python2.4.1 and numarray 1.3.3?

Could some kind soul build me a numarray windows installer for python 2.4 from cvs - please - so that I can see if that works better with py2exe.

I need a stiff drink

Tim,

Sorry I can't help much, but:

I have attempted to use numarray from cvs but I can't build it - no VC7

You can build Python extensions with MinGW. You have to do a little patching to Python, but it's not too hard, and it does work.

Here's one link. Googling will get you others:

Well, that's progress anyway.

Is numarray.memory actually present in your install directory? Can you CD to that directory and import memory by itself?

then - probably because I was reading the numarray manual this morning - I went to my numarray install and decided to run testall.py

I got

There's two things going on here. (1) This manner of running the numarray self-tests isn't recommended since it doesn't work anywhere. Read Doc/INSTALL.txt for how to run them. (2) There's bit-rot in numarray CVS for windows.

I'm working on the rot now.

I'm a little confused here. How is numarray installed where your application actually works? How is numarray installed where numarray does not work? (I was under the impression that you're using a tool to build a self-contained installer... which isn't working. I figured your development systems have numarray installed independently... which is working. What are you doing?)

I installed on my laptop and tested - broken there too

My legacy python 2.3 and numarray 1.3.3 installation passes all the tests just fine.

Is there a problem with python2.4.1 and numarray 1.3.3?

Nope.

Could some kind soul build me a numarray windows installer for python 2.4 from cvs - please - so that I can see if that works better with py2exe.

Let me know if you still want this and I'll make one for you.

FYI, MinGW works great for matplotlib but you may have to row-your-own-boat when it comes to numarray. As far as I know, there are missing glibc dependencies for numarray, particularly IEEE exception handling.

Todd
