[Visualpython-users] problems with ipython -pylab -p scipy

[Ryan K. <rya...@gm...>]

I am trying to use Vpython with ipython running with the scipy options
-pylab -p scipy.  I am getting this error message:

In [1]: import visual
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<type 'exceptions.ImportError'>           Traceback (most recent call last)

     16 # The following is intended to be equivalent to:
     17 # >>> from array_backend.backend[0] import *

      5 def _try_init_numeric():
      6     try:

<type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: DLL load failed: Invalid access to memory locat
ion.


I saw another thread with this error message but with no answer.  Is
there a solution to this problem?  I am running Windows XP and Python
2.5.  Until I ran the VPython installer, this computer had only numpy
installed.

Thanks,

Ryan
