I installed numpy/scipy through link http://www.enthought.com/repo/.iron/.

In ironpython interactive window, I got the following error for "import numpy":

>>> import scipy
numeric.py: Temporarily filtering symbol 'int_asbuffer'
numeric.py: Temporarily filtering symbol 'set_numeric_ops'
numeric.py: Temporarily filtering symbol 'can_cast'
numeric.py: Temporarily filtering symbol 'bitwise_not'

    self.parent_frame = frame = sys._getframe(_level)

My ironpython version is : IronPython 2.7 (2.7.0.30) on .NET 4.0.30319.225.

Who can give me some suggestions?

thanks!

The issue is that SciPy makes use of the CPython API for inspecting the current stack frame which  IronPython doesn't enable by default because of a small runtime performance hit.   You can turn on this functionality by passing the command line argument "-X:Frames" to on the command line.  For example:

ipy.exe -X:Frames -c "import scipy"

I am having the same problem and this is working great from the command line, but how do I do this from VS? Is there a way to do this programmatically?

Many thanks.

You can set -X:Frames in the interactive window options:

1. Go to: Tools -> Options -> Python Tools -> Interactive Windows -> IronPython 2.7
2. Set "Interpreter Options" to "-X:Frames"

If you just made that change inside Visual Studio with the IronPython Interactive open, you'll have to reset the interactive window (click the blue button on the IronPython 2.7 Interactive window's toolbar).

If you did reset the interactive, and it still isn't working, it would be interesting to see what the command line is that we're passing to create the IronPython process.  In a Powershell window, do:

PS> ( Get-WmiObject Win32_Process -Filter "Name like '%ipy%'" ).CommandLine

On my system (where "import scipy" is working for me in the IronPython interactive window) I see this output:

<tt>"C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\ipy.exe" -X:Frames "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Python Tools for Visual Studio\1.0\visualstudio_py_repl.py" --port 9947 --enable-attach --execution_mode Standard</tt>

Thanks for your help. I can run my application with the interpreter, however, when running the debugger (F5) the import still fails. Here is the output I am getting from Powershell:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\ipy.exe" -X:Frames "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\

IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Python Tools for Visual Studio\1.0\visualstudio_py_repl.py" --port 51281

You can specify -X:Frames on a project-by-project basis as well:

1. Go to: Project -> Properties -> Debug tab 
2. Set "Interpreter Arguments" to "-X:Frames"

Edit: I suggest also setting "Launch Mode" to "Standard Python Launcher" unless you need to debug C# code

Ok... so now I can run the application successfully by pressing F5 but it does not break if I place a breakpoint in the code. Why is that? 

Can you reference any good documentation that can help me through this? 

(did change the "Launch Mode" to "Standard Python Launcher" - thanks!)

And that's a bug! It looks like scipy is changing settrace on us.

If you switch back to IronPython (.NET) Launcher you will hit the breakpoint; this isn't as nice a debugging experience, but it will work.

I opened bug 512 to track.

Thank you for being patient with us and for reporting your issues as they come up; it is really appreciated.

No, that's not the case for me. If I switch back to  IronPython (.NET) Launcher scipy does import properly. I can only get it to load correctly in Standard Python launcher but than...no debugging capabilities.
