Has someone compiled SciPy/Numpy with vc8/vs2005 for win64 ?
Could someone share those libs ?
I succeeded in compiling numpy without the fortran libs for houdini/win64 but i failed with scipy and the dependencies of fortran ..
Maybe they should even be included in the standard win/houdini/python with PIL !! They would really boost the python productivity a lot …

thx dulo

Finally succeeded in building x64 numpy, scipy, pil and vtk for houdini python 2.6.
The result is 260mb of dlls and python files. I created a “patch” for the default python installation on windows x64 which can be extracted over a houdini install. maybe i will try to create real installers but i am not a python pro, so i dont know when i will have time or succeed.
I tried to upload the archive but its way to big for this forum.
If somebody is interested i can send him a ftp link.

Give it a try. There are great possibilites in voxel and image processing in those libs.

Next i will try to get opencv into houdini python.

greetings dulo

put the archive on an ftp.
ftp/62.40.184.82/
user: houdini
pw: python4houdini

hope you find it as usefull as i do !!
comment and critics appreciated

greeting

dulo

thanks dulo !

.. but i get errors importing numpy :

line #23 in linalg ; from numpy.linalg import lapack_lite .. etc , etc .

Hmmm i guess this is cause of the intel mkl libaries .. could you check with sysinternals process monitor which dlls are missing ??

just monitor the hython shell with procmon and watch for file operations which try to open dlls .

I am quite shure that you are missing some i got somewhere in my searchpath .. likely candidates would be msvcrt, mkl, …

I will try to find a fresh installed machine and try the archive there .. on my development machines all worked fine ..

did vtk work ? i guess scipy didnt work for you too ??

I just added the MKL redist files to the ftp.
They need to be in the searchpath to make numpy work.
I guess scipy needs em too because it builds upon numpy.

Still working on an installer for all the libs.
Making some progress in this direction.

Succeeded in creating installer archives for numpy, scipy and vtk.
I included runtime dlls in the archives.
They should work out of the box. just copy the files to the root of your python installation ( take a look into the archives and you will understand the structure )
Just grab 'em from the previously mentioned ftp.
OpenCV is already working too, but still fiddeling on the installer .. will post the moment i succeed ..

opencv 2.3.1 for win64 houdini is online. did some testing. seems to be working well. This is the CUDA version. I will build and publish a version without cuda soon.

Non Cuda Version of OpenCV in testing. Creating installer for PIL at the moment. Will post binaries during weekend. Hope for much testing and many assets based on those libs ..

havent tried yet your latest ‘ updates ’ since im playing and trying linux at home ( where this saga is unknown ),

but just wanted to greet your efforts .

appreciated /

Just uploaded an win64 build of PIL: python image libary.
Finally hython on windows comes near the functionality of hython on linux !! :-)
Non Cuda build of opencv still work in progress ..

Just put numpy-2.0.0.dev-houdini.mkl.win-amd64.zip online.
build of latest development numpy with intel mkl redist files included.
