Hi All,     I was fiddling here and there with some code doing dynamic import of stuff, and I noticed that this code: import os import sys init_name = r"C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\numpy__init__.py" directory, module_name = os.path.split(init_name) main = os.path.splitext(module_name)[0] sys.path.insert(0, os.path.normpath(directory)) # Crash here... mainmod = __import__(main)

in this case, your main is '__init__' and your directory is 'C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\numpy' which is probably not what you intended. You should make directory 'C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages' and main into 'numpy'

best,
