Hi all,

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

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

Well, that's progress anyway.

I get

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.

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'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. Regards, Todd
