[OpenIndiana-discuss] python 2.6.4 64 bit ?

[Udo Grabowski (IMK)]

Hi,

when calling /usr/bin/amd64/python and trying to import numpy
(installed in vendor-packages), I only get :

Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Apr 17 2011, 11:27:24) [C] on sunos5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages/numpy/__init__.py", line 132, in 
<module>
     import add_newdocs
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages/numpy/add_newdocs.py", line 9, in 
<module>
     from lib import add_newdoc
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages/numpy/lib/__init__.py", line 4, in 
<module>
     from type_check import *
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages/numpy/lib/type_check.py", line 8, in 
<module>
     import numpy.core.numeric as _nx
   File "/usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages/numpy/core/__init__.py", line 5, in 
<module>
     import multiarray
ImportError: No module named multiarray
 >>>

Traversing /usr/lib/python2.6/vendor-packages, it looks like there
are almost no 64 bit packages installed. Is it possible to complete
the distribution so that at least numpy and its dependances are
available also in 64 bit ? For scientific stuff, arrays larger
than 2 GB are not so uncommon.
