Cython / Numpy - cimport numpy as np doesn't work
I'm trying to use cython to encode an important part of my code, but I'm having trouble importing numpy:
Setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
from Cython.Distutils import build_ext
import numpy as np
e_m1 = Extension('OrderC', ['OrderC.pyx'])
ext_mods = [e_m1]
setup(name = 'OrderC/ListOrderC', cmdclass = {'build_ext': build_ext},
include_dirs = [np.get_include()], ext_modules = ext_mods)
OrderC.pyx:
import numpy as np
#cimport numpy as np ## CRITICAL LINE (RUN WITHOUT IT)
cdef class OrderC:
cdef double _px
def __init__(self, double px):
self._px = px
def printPx(self):
print self._px
Home:
import pyximport;
pyximport.install()
from OrderC import OrderC
oo = OrderC(9.95)
oo.printPx()
When I comment out the critical line, the compilation of print warnings but gets executed, here is the warning:

But when I decompose the critical line, it doesn't work at all:

For information, my framework is: * Windows 7 * Pidev * Python 2.7 (32 bit)
Do you have the same error or have an idea why this simple program doesn't work?
Thank.

I am posting a solution I have ever suggested that worked for me:
According to him, the problem is compiling with pyximport when you use additional C libraries like numpy.
I changed the main file as follows:
from OrderC import OrderC
oo = OrderC(9.95)
oo.printPx()
Then
-
Compile with Cython:
C: \ Python27_x86 \ Scripts \ cython.exe OrderC.pyx
-
Compile the c file with gcc (including additional libraries)
C: \ MinGW \ bin \ gcc.exe -mdll -O -Wall -IC: \ Python27_x86 \ lib \ site-packages \ numpy \ core \ include -IC: \ Python27_x86 \ include -IC: \ Python27_x86 \ PC -c OrderC .c -o OrderC.o
-
Compile the c file with gcc (including additional libraries)
C: \ MinGW \ bin \ gcc.exe -shared -s OrderC.o -LC: \ Python27_x86 \ libs -LC: \ Python27_x86 \ PCbuild -lpython27 -lmsvcr90 -o C: \ Users \ user \ Desktop \ Workspace \ TestC \ OrderC.pyd
Then it works.
Note:
-
step 2 generates warnings but works
-
make sure to add the OrderC path to your PATH environment variable
