[Numpy-discussion] Yes, this one again "ImportError: No module named multiarray"

[Dinesh B Vadhia]

Does that mean numpy won't work with freeze/create_executable type of tools or is there a workaround?

multiarray is an extension module that lives within numpy/core, that is, when, "import multiarray" is called, (and it's the first imported extension module in numpy), multiarray.ext (ext being dll on Windows I guess), gets dynamically loaded. 


"No module named multiarray" is indicating problems with your freeze setup.  Most of these tools don't support locally imported extension modules.


Does this help you get oriented on your problem?

Recently, I've needed to either freeze or create executables with tools such as PyInstaller, Cython, Py2exe and others on both Windows (XP 32-bit, 7 64-bit) and Ubuntu (12.04) Linux (64-bit).  The test program (which runs perfectly with the Python interpreter) is very simple:

  import numpy

  def main():
      print numpy.array([12, 23, 34, 45, 56, 67, 78, 89, 90])
      return
      
  if __name__ == '__main__':
      main()

  The software versions are Python 2.7.3, Numpy 1.7.0, and Scipy 0.11.  The "import numpy" causes an "ImportError: No module named multiarray".  After endless Googling, I am none the wiser about what (really) causes the ImportError let alone what the solution is.  The Traceback, similar to others found on the web, is:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "test.py", ...
    File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py", line 154, in <module>
      import add_newdocs
    File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\add_newdocs.py", line 9, in <module>
      from numpy.lib import add_newdoc
    File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
      from type_check import *
    File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\type_check.py", line 8, in <module>
      import numpy.core.numeric as _nx
    File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
      import multiarray
  ImportError: No module named multiarray.

  Could someone shed some light on this - please?  Thx.
