Installing numpy

I did step 1.2 so now the current folder is the setuptools-19.6 folder.
I executed step 1.3 call "%PY%" setup.py install and there is goes wrong:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrec

You actually need to omit the quotes, I'll correct that in my blog post. Just call %PY%

I downloaded Numpy and unzipped it to emp
The I gave the command:
emp\numpy-master\python setup.py install

This gave the error message:
RuntimeError: Running cythonize failed!

Are you sure just plain "python" is the right Python installation (the on in the Cinema 4D framework)?
What's more to the error message? I didn't get a "cythonized failed" error.

[quote]Installing the binary.
- I downloaded pip and installed it using the get-pip.py script

- from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
I downloaded numpy-1.10.4+mkl-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
Note: cp27 indicates it is for python 2.7

Went to the folder where pip.exe is located and gave the command:
pip install emp\numpy-1.10.4+mkl-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl

Result: Successfully installed numpy-1.10.4

- started python and said import numpy

This gave the same result as described in this post.
So, I need to recompile numpy.
Back to square 1.

Might be coming from the fact that its not compiled with the right Visual Studio version.
I just read in the post you linked that Andreas said it must be VS2012 SP4, interestingly it
worked with VS2008 here too.

See below the full error messages.

Python links to the cinema 4d python environment / folders:
C:\Program Files\MAXON\CINEMA 4D R17\resource\modules\python\Python.win64.framework\python.exe

The big question is: how to compiled with the right Visual Studio version?

FYI. I tried to reply to your PM pgrooff. But your inbox is full.

I personally don't bother to compile these things myself.
I use many of the common Python libraries via Anaconda.
And the precompiled version of opencv3.1.exe installs both the C++ and Python libraries.

The quick and simple way to install this stuff:
-Install Anaconda(or python 2.7 if you prefer) and install opencv.exe with their installers
-Then put the opencv cv2.pyd file in the Anaconda site-packages folder
-Then copy the entire Anaconada folder to the C4D folder where Python.win64.framework is
-Rename Python.win64.framework to: Python.win64.framework_original
-Rename the copied Anaconda folder to:Python.win64.framework
-Boom...Done
No fuss...no muss...no cocoanuts.
I only compile things myself when I have absolutely no other choice.

*** Public Service Announcement Here ***
It might be frowned upon by Maxon to replace their python installation with another python installation.
But it's the easiest way to do it. And so far I've never seen any problems doing it.

Sorry, my fault (although 5 is a bit small!).

Thanks for the information. I will try it and let you know!

Niklas,

Thanks for all this.
There is one more thing missing....isn't there always!
Are you going to put up a numpy for R17 (2.7) on a mac?
I don't see it.
