Numpy Cimport错误使用cython

Question

I am trying to Cimport Numpy into a Python 2.7 shell from a .pyx file, but it keeps giving me the same error:

I made a .pyx file called numpyx just to see if it was part of the bigger code I was running, the file contains:

cimport numpy as np
a = np.arange(0,10)
print 'a= ',a

I get the following error every time:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#82>", line 1, in <module>
    import numpyx
  File "C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python27\site-packages\pyximport       \pyximport.py", line 335, in load_module

    raise CompileError, msg
ImportError: Building module failed: ["CompileError: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1\n"]

I don't understand why it won't work, since it compiles .pyx files fine as long as cimport isn't in them.

If anyone could shed some light on this it would be great!

Well the function your looking for is available in the python package. (I find no reference to linspace in numpy.pxd)

I usually do something along these lines:

import numpy as np
cimport numpy as cnp

def foo(double x):
    cdef cnp.ndarray[cnp.float64_t, ndim=1] y = np.linspace(0, 10, 11)
    # do whatever
    return y
