Hi,

I have for a long time successfully rolled up stand alone executables that use Numeric, now I'm trying to move over to numarray, but am getting the following error.

"Fatal Python error: Call to API function without first calling import libnumarray() in Src convmodule.c"

Now I recall that numeric had this extra initializing call for the C code, and I suppose numarray does as well. Can someone give me some guidance on how to explicity call that initialization function from Python?

The numarry docs include a good tutorial for writing C extensions ("C Extension API"). Based on that, near the top of my C numarray extension's header file I have:

#include "Python.h" #include "libnumarray.h"

...and the bottom of my .c file is...

// Module initialization function void initradProf(void) { PyObject *m; m = Py_InitModule3("radProf", radProfMethods, radProfModule_doc);

if (m == NULL) return;

import_libnumarray(); }

...and I guess distutils finds initradProf based on the setup.py file
