Okay here's the basic example from the Python website for a simple runpy.exe to run Python scripts below. It works fine using Visual Studio 2015 on x64 Windows after referencing the Python includes and linking to python35.lib for basic functions (the docs don't mention pyvenv.cfg must be in the EXE directory). However, calling a script that imports NumPy leads to this error ImportError: No module named 'numpy' Failed to load "eig" only when using embedded python35.zip, so how does one include NumPy in an embedded Python EXE? I.e. I want to also "embed" NumPy (as a .zip, directory, .dll, or .pyd etc.). I've tried adding the NumPy includes and also linking to npymath.lib but I get the same import error. I've also dug through some Cython wrapper code but haven't found a solution. Here is the Python embedded sample code:
#include <Python.h>
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
PyObject *pName, *pModule, *pDict, *pFunc;
PyObject *pArgs, *pValue;
int i;
if (argc < 3) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: runpy pythonfile funcname [args]\n");
return 1;
}
Py_SetPath(L"python35.zip"); //this is in the current directory
Py_Initialize();
pName = PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault(argv[1]);
/* Error checking of pName left out */
pModule = PyImport_Import(pName);
Py_DECREF(pName);
if (pModule != NULL) {
pFunc = PyObject_GetAttrString(pModule, argv[2]);
/* pFunc is a new reference */
if (pFunc && PyCallable_Check(pFunc)) {
pArgs = PyTuple_New(argc - 3);
for (i = 0; i < argc - 3; ++i) {
pValue = PyLong_FromLong(atoi(argv[i + 3]));
if (!pValue) {
Py_DECREF(pArgs);
Py_DECREF(pModule);
fprintf(stderr, "Cannot convert argument\n");
return 1;
}
/* pValue reference stolen here: */
PyTuple_SetItem(pArgs, i, pValue);
}
pValue = PyObject_CallObject(pFunc, pArgs);
Py_DECREF(pArgs);
if (pValue != NULL) {
printf("Result of call: %ld\n", PyLong_AsLong(pValue));
Py_DECREF(pValue);
}
else {
Py_DECREF(pFunc);
Py_DECREF(pModule);
PyErr_Print();
fprintf(stderr, "Call failed\n");
return 1;
}
}
else {
if (PyErr_Occurred())
PyErr_Print();
fprintf(stderr, "Cannot find function \"%s\"\n", argv[2]);
}
Py_XDECREF(pFunc);
Py_DECREF(pModule);
}
else {
PyErr_Print();
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to load \"%s\"\n", argv[1]);
return 1;
}
Py_Finalize();
return 0;
}
Embed file is here: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.2/python-3.5.2-embed-amd64.zip, python35.zip inside the archive. Here is the simple test script (runpy eig eig 10 to test - note if you don't embed Python35.zip and have NumPy / SciPy installed it WILL run):
eig.py
import numpy as np
from scipy import linalg
def eig(a):
c = np.random.rand(a,a)*100
c = np.corrcoef(c)
print('You are taking the eigsh of a ', a, '^2 matrix')
e, f = linalg.eig(c)
return print('Eigvals are: ',np.diag(f))
Anyone know how to fix this issue? Much appreciated.
