Bug 330321 – dev-python/numpy: python fails to load multiarray

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Duong Dang 2010-07-29 08:55:27 UTC]

I have python and numpy compiled fine with prefix, but python failed to load numpy.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge python && emerge numpy
2. python -c "import numpy"
3.

Actual Results:  
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/John/i386-darwin-10.3/devel/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/__init__.py", line 132, in <module>
    import add_newdocs
  File "/Users/John/i386-darwin-10.3/devel/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/add_newdocs.py", line 9, in <module>
    from lib import add_newdoc
  File "/Users/John/i386-darwin-10.3/devel/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/lib/__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
    from type_check import *
  File "/Users/John/i386-darwin-10.3/devel/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/lib/type_check.py", line 8, in <module>
    import numpy.core.numeric as _nx
  File "/Users/John/i386-darwin-10.3/devel/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/core/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    import multiarray
ImportError: No module named multiarray

Expected Results:  
python should import numpy module sucessfully

- Apple's python (/usr/bin/python) imports numpy just fine
- Platform detail: MacOS X Snow Leopard

FYI: works on amd64-linux

My bad, looking at the path, I realized that I had a stale version of numpy in "/Users/John/i386-darwin-10.3/devel/". Delete that version  solved the problem.
