Importing numpy into Maya?

[Dunnie]

I am trying to import numpy into Maya 2015. Maya 2015 uses Python27 so I dont think there is a conflict in python versions.

import numpy as np

// Error: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

# Traceback (most recent call last):

# File "<maya console>", line 1, in <module>

# File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py", line 168, in <module>

# from . import add_newdocs

# File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\numpy\add_newdocs.py", line 13, in <module>

# from numpy.lib import add_newdoc

# File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\__init__.py", line 8, in <module>

# from .type_check import *

# File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\type_check.py", line 11, in <module>

# import numpy.core.numeric as _nx

# File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\__init__.py", line 6, in <module>

# from . import multiarray

# ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. //

Any ideas ?

You'd have to compile numpy against Visual Studio 2012.

The version you have will have been compiled against VS 2008.

Unfortunately Maya and Python in Maya are compiled against different versions of Visual Studio to the norm.
