How to import Numpy? --- not possible (it is for C-Python)

Asked by Kurt Zalkowitz

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to import installed modules on a running python version in sikuli. I tried the following:

I wrote a file INP.py with following content:

   import numpy
   print("successfully imported!")

and added the path for the file to sikuli:

   sys.path.append("c:/.../python")
   import INP

and got the message: "No module named numpy"

The Numpy Python package can only be used with C-Based Python interpreters (Sikuli uses Jython, which is a Java based interpreter for the Python language (level 2.5)).

For some insight: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3097466/using-numpy-and-cpython-with-jython

In general Python modules completely written in Python language (e.g. xlrd) or available in a version that is ported to Jython compatibility (like all the standard modules that come with Python 2.5) can be imported, when the folder containing the module is in Sikuli's sys.path.
