Python of VRED with library numpy

Anonymous — Wed, 09 Nov 2016 15:26:03 GMT

I'm having a problem with the numpy library in python that VRED uses that is version "2.7.10", I put import numpy (Detail of the error in the image). However when I install python of the same version on my computer I can use the numpy library. Thank you in advance.

VRED 2017 is build using Visual Studio 2015, the normal available python is build with a very old Visual Studio 2010 or even Visual Studio 2008 and therefore a lot of the third party modules are build with this old compiler as well. These don´t work with our python build so you will have to recompile them for visual studio 2015 or find matching versions on the web. I think http://p-nand-q.com/python/building-python-27-with-visual_studio.html has a compiled version to download which contains a lot of third party packages, including numpy.

Thanks comrade, as I understand it, is to replace the python of VRED with the python of visual studio?

No, never do that, if you replace the python version VRED ships with, VRED will completely stop working. You will have to compile or download the correct version of the numpy lib and put it into the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\VREDPro-9.x\lib\python\Lib\site-packages directory. Then it should work with VRED if the numpy was compiled with the correct compiler (Visual Studio 2015).

Kind regards

Have not testet it but should work:

Go to http://p-nand-q.com/python/building-python-27-with-visual_studio.html

Download the Visual Studio 2015 x64 package and extract it

Copy everything to your C:\Program Files\Autodesk\VREDPro-x\lib\python folder (you should probably not override the stuff we already have in there).

Kind regards

Michael

SUCCESSS!!

I downloaded Python 2.7.10 64-bit from here: http://p-nand-q.com/python/building-python-27-with-visual_studio.html

This version has many python plugins already installed under "site-packages" i.a. "numpy" which is the one we need.

To use it in VRED insert the follwoing code:

import sys, os
sys.path.append(os.path.normpath(r'C:\2015.08.07-Python2710-x64-vc2015\Lib\site-packages'))

import numpy as np
print('numpy imported as "np"')

Hey!

Thanks for the hint of appending the sys path! I assumend all the time that it should be deteced automatically since i copied it in the path of the program!

Finally got it working!
