Hi Harald and C.L.P.,
Precision.py is part of the Numeric package. AFAIKT, the problem is during
the module initialization. The first lines of Precision.py are:
from multiarray import zeros
import string
typecodes = {'Character':'c', 'Integer':'1sil', 'UnsignedInteger':'bwu',
'Float':'fd', 'Complex':'FD'}
def _get_precisions(typecodes):
lst = []
for t in typecodes:
lst.append( (zeros( (1,), t ).itemsize()*8, t) ) <-- Line 18
return lst
def _fill_table(typecodes, table={}):
for key, value in typecodes.items():
table[key] = _get_precisions(value)
return table
_code_table = _fill_table(typecodes)
I can't find any reason why line 18 is throwing a "data type not understood"
error. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with dynamic importing, but I
can't be sure. I would note that "zeros" is a built-in function found in the
"python dll" multiarray.pyd (in the Numeric module directory).
Thanks again,
Doug
