Sorry for the cross post, but almost immediately after hitting send (to scipy-user) I realized this is the more appropriate list for the below. :-(
DG Hi, folks. I'm having a problem using numpy.lookfor() that is very reminiscent of this thread: http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/scipy-user/2008-June/017294.html The simplest reproduction of the problem is illustrated thusly: c:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\numpy>dir random.py Volume in drive C is SQ004816V03 Volume Serial Number is 8E67-90B7 Directory of c:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\numpy File Not Found c:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\numpy>python Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Dec 23 2008, 15:10:54) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import numpy as np >>> 'lookfor' in dir(np) True >>> help(np.lookfor) cannot import name Random And that's all she wrote. I read the thread cited above and it led me to examine the goings-on using python -v; as warned, there was a waterfall of imports, but at the end of it all was: . : # C:\Python25\lib\repr.pyc matches C:\Python25\lib\repr.py import repr # precompiled from C:\Python25\lib\repr.pyc import collections # builtin # C:\Python25\lib\tempfile.pyc matches C:\Python25\lib\tempfile.py import tempfile # precompiled from C:\Python25\lib\tempfile.pyc import random # directory random # random\__init__.pyc matches random\__init__.py import random # precompiled from random\__init__.pyc # random\info.pyc matches random\info.py import random.info # precompiled from random\info.pyc import random.mtrand # dynamically loaded from random\mtrand.pyd cannot import name Random Please help. Thanks! DG _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
