[PyOpenGL-Users] Problem with PyOpenGL and Python 2.3

[Mike P. <mik...@ph...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get PyOpenGL up and running on my Windows XP (Home edition)
system. I'm using the ActiveState PythonWin version 2.3.2, and I've
downloaded and installed the following packages:

PyOpenGL-2.0.1.07.py2.3-numpy23.exe
Numeric-23.1.win32-py2.3.exe
glut32.dll (version 3.7)

When I try to run an OpenGL script (for example, "openGLDemo.py" included
with the PythonWin distribution), Python crashes with an application error
(a memory access violation). Python also spits out a few exceptions, the
first of which is:

ImportError:  No module named numarray.libnumarray

Any ideas? Am I using the wrong version of "numpy"?

Many thanks for any help you can give me.

Mike Pentney.

p.s. you'll have guessed that I'm new to Python, but so far I'm very
impressed. I can't wait to start implementing real projects! (I'll be
especially pleased to get away from Visual Studio .net  :-)

You will need to install NumArray as well, which is a follow-on project 
to Numpy.  The machine on which the binary installer was built had 
NumArray installed, and for some silly reason that alters the *Numpy* 
installation such that anything linked against Numpy on that machine has 
a (pointless) dependency on NumArray.  C is such a silly thing that way.

Numpy is fine, you just need to add NumArray to the mix.

HTH,
Mike
