PyImport_ImportModule

[milonass]

This C++-code is not able to import numy:

#include <iostream>
#include <filesystem>
//#include "C:\Program Files\Python311\include\Python.h"
#include <Python.h>

#include "C:\Program Files\Python311\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\include\numpy\arrayobject.h"

int main()
{
  
	PyObject* pPythonModule = NULL;
	Py_Initialize();
	//import_array1(0);
	PyRun_SimpleString("import os, sys;sys.path.append(os.getcwd())\n");
	PyObject* pName = PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault("numpy");
	pPythonModule = PyImport_Import(pName);
    PyErr_Print();
}

The output is:

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!

Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
installed.

We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:

    https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html

Please note and check the following:

  * The Python version is: Python3.11 from "C:\Users\Thomas\source\repos\PythonImport\x64\Release\PythonImport.exe"
  * The NumPy version is: "1.26.3"

and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.

Original error was: No module named 'numpy.core._multiarray_umath'


The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Python311\Lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py", line 149, in <module>
    raise ImportError(msg) from e
ImportError: Error importing numpy: you should not try to import numpy from

I am running this in VS 2022. I haven newly installed python 3.11 three times. I added any possible path to PYTHONPATH. Nothing helps.
Any ideas.

Thx. Thomas

you can still use BBCode tags with C++. (modified for this instance)

I don't think that C++ questions belong here, but you may get an answer, regardless.

It’s not clear what your goal is.
https://python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/...dding.html

If you want to evaluate some simple expressions
Use 1.1. Very High Level Embedding

You can run PyRun_SimpleString in a while loop with cin, import numpy inside the simple string

If you actually want to transfer data between C++ and Python .
Use 1.3. Pure Embedding

If you plan on doing something meaningful, you should consider using boost::python, which has build in support for numpy
