Re: [Numpy-discussion] building numpy/scipy
Josef (sorry about spelling your name wrong in a previous post), Thanks for the continued suggestions. I deleted the site-packages: numpy and scipy, and reinstalled each using the current release superpacks (numpy first, then scipy). then I ran: python -c 'import numpy; numpy.test()' and got: Running unit tests for numpy NumPy version 1.2.1 NumPy is installed in d::\Programs\Python25\lib\site-packages\numpy Python version 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Mar 27 2008, 17:57:18) IMSC v.1310 32 bit (ntel)] nose version 0.10.4 Traceback (most recent call last): File "(string)", line 1, in <module> File "d::\Programs\Python25\lib\site-packages\numpy\testing\nosetester.py", line 264, in test import doctest File"d:\Programs\Python25\lib\doctest.p", line 99, in <module> import unittest, difflib, pd, tempfile File "d:\programs\python25\lib\tempfile.py", line 33, in <module> from random import Random as __Random ImportError: cannot import name Random scipy.test() bombs out with the exact same Traceback, except that it mentions the scipy version (0,7.0.dev5180) and scipy install directory just before it echoes the line with the python version number. So, it's not getting as far as it was with the source mixed in. At 10:40 PM 1/3/2009, you wrote:
Make sure that when you import scipy that you get the correct version.
import scipy scipy.__file__ 'C:\\Programs\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\scipy\\__init__.pyc'
From your error messages, I would think python is loading the source distribution and not the compiled and installed version. It would be helpful to see your actual error messages from nose, with copy and paste, at least the first few and last parts of the nose tests. Your summary error message is not very helpful because it doesn't show your actual error path and trace backs.
When I installed the 0.7.0 b1 superpack on WindowsXP, it worked out of the box. The only thing to do, before installing a new version of numpy or scipy, is to uninstall or delete any old version in site-packages, since the directory names of scipy and numpy do not include version numbers. Installing on top of an old version, can leave some old files around which sometimes cause errors.

What directory are you in? I'm guessing that you are in a numpy/ directory either in the source tree or under site-packages/. Change out of that directory. Python looks for modules in the current directory before the standard locations, so it's picking up the numpy.random subpackage instead of the standard library module random. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
