Hi, We've developed a (BSD licensed) computational Physics package for Python that is to be released in the coming days. It works flawlessly on unixish systems. I have, however, considerable problems trying to make it to work under Windows as well. (I'm using Windows XP SP3 inside a virtual machine.)
I've managed to make the package actually work, but upon exit of a Python script that imported it, the following message is shown: "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information." I have managed to bring down the problem to a small test-case, a directory with three files: **************** problem.cc **************** #include <Python.h> PyMethodDef functions[] = {{0, 0, 0, 0}}; extern "C" void initproblem() { PyObject* m = Py_InitModule("problem", functions); } **************** setup.py **************** from distutils.core import setup, Extension module = Extension('problem', language='c++', sources=['problem.cc']) setup(name='problem', version='0.0', ext_modules=[module]) **************** test.pyx **************** import problem ******************************** I build and install the package with "python setup.py build" and "python setup.py install" using the following software: * Python 2.7.4 from http://python.org/ * MinGW 3.20 (gcc 4.6.2), installed using mingw-get-inst-20120426.exe This works and the module "problem" _can_ be imported from within a Python interpreter. Importing from a cython-generated executable, however, fails: When I build test.pyx using cython --embed -a test.pyx (with Cython 0.19 on linux) gcc -IC:\Python27\include -LC:\Python27\libs test.c -lpython27 (on windows) and run the resulting executable a.exe, I get the error message quoted above. Strangely, changing "language='c++'" to "language='c'" in setup.py fixes this problem. However, this is not a viable solution as it only works for the toy-example. (The real module uses C++-features like templates heavily. We are using it in our large Python package that contains Cython-generated modules.) Does anyone have a clue how this issue could be resolved? Any help is greatly appreciated! Christoph PS. Because this problem is very urgent to us, I am posting this to cython-us...@googlegroups.com as well. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
