#45046: Missing "numeric" dependency in wxpython-2.8 ------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: fw@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Keywords: wxpython numpy numeric | Port: py27-wxpython-2.8 ------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Grass stopped working, apparently due to the numpy upgrade from 1.8 to 1.9. The error is: File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7 /site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/lib/plot.py", line 132, in <module> raise ImportError, "Numeric,numarray or NumPy not found. \n" + msg ... The relevant code is: # Needs Numeric or numarray or NumPy try: import numpy.oldnumeric as _Numeric except: try: import numarray as _Numeric #if numarray is used it is renamed Numeric except: try: import Numeric as _Numeric except: ... It appears that numpy was able to satisfy this until the numpy port was upgraded to 1.9, where "oldnumeric" had been removed. I was able to work around the problem by installing py27-numeric. The wxpython-2.8 package doesn't list either numpy or numeric as dependencies, which may have led to the failure to discover the downside of upgrading the numpy port. It appears that there was a fix in wxwidgets 3.0 to fix the compatibility problem with numpy 1.9, but the only variant of grass that claims to work (experimentally) with V3.0 doesn't actually work. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45046> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
