What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run Python interpreter.
2. >>> import scikits.audiolab
3. Hit <Enter>

What is the expected output?

No output after import statement.

What do you see instead?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scikits\audiolab\__init__.py", line 25, in <module>
    from pysndfile import formatinfo, sndfile
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scikits\audiolab\pysndfile\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from _sndfile import Sndfile, Format, available_file_formats, \
  File "numpy.pxd", line 30, in scikits.audiolab.pysndfile._sndfile (scikits\audiolab\pysndfile\_sndfile.c:9632)
ValueError: numpy.dtype does not appear to be the correct type object

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

WinPython 2.7.5.3 32bit on Windows 7 64 bit

Please provide any additional information below.

The solution is to download scikits.audiolab-0.11.0.win32-py2.7.exe
from here http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scikits.audiolab
and reinstall the package.
It looks like that provided by WinPython file
WinPython-32bit-2.7.5.3\python-2.7.5\Lib\site-packages\scikits\audiolab\pysndfile\_sndfile.pyd
is corrupt.
After replacing this file with the one from scikits.audiolab package from Christoph Gohlke's
Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages the import works again.

Thank you,
Albert
