Windows Issues

[youngpm]

Hi,

I've been trying to get GVIM and IPython to play together, without success so far on Windows 7.

Here are the steps I've taken:

1. I launch IPython qtconsole successfully. I'm using version 0.12, what came with the EPD Python 2.7.2.
2. :echo has('python') returns 1 for me.
3. I source ipy.vim successfully in vim.

Things go bad for me when I attempt to run ":IPython" in vim.

I get a "Runtime Error!" alert about "R6034, An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly."

VIM reports the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "", line 39, in km_from_string
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\IPython\zmq__init__.py", line 39, in
check_for_zmq('2.1.4')
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\IPython\zmq__init__.py", line 17, in check_for_zmq
import zmq
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\zmq__init__.py", line 32, in
ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary(libzmq)
File "C:\Python27\Lib\ctypes__init__.py", line 431, in LoadLibrary
return self.dlltype(name)
File "C:\Python27\Lib\ctypes__init_.py", line 353, in init
self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)

Any idea what my issue is? From IPython i can import ctypes and zmq. I'm pretty new to Python and IPython, which is probably the biggest problem!

Thanks for any help!

Perhaps your vim is compiled against a different python than
you are launching. See if there's a difference between:

$ vim -c ':py import os; print os.file' -c ':q'
$ python -c 'import os; print os.file'

@unpingco successfully got vim-ipython working under windows, but
I'm not sure what his setup was.

[youngpm]

I think I found the problem, I am pretty sure the version of vim I have was not compiled with the +python libraries. I faked myself out by adding the python.vim to the plugin directory, which is why it was returning 1! Now to get a version compiled with python!

I'll let you know if I get it going.

Thanks!

[unpingco]

You also need to make sure that your VIM matches the Python version you
plan to use IPython with. I had to build VIM 7.3 from source to get it
for Python version 2.6.

Good luck!

Well I reinstalled gvim, and the python libraries are there this time! Not sure that the issue was the first go around. In any case, :include shows +python. This is gvim 7.3.46, which is supposedly compiled with Python 2.7, the flavor I'm using.

Checking

$ vim -c ':py import os; print os.file' -c ':q'
$ python -c 'import os; print os.file'

Vim says C:\Python27\Lib\os.pyc
Python says C:\Python27\lib\os.pyc

The case shouldn't matter on Windows right? The actual folder is Lib.

I get the same error,

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "<string>", line 39, in km_from_string File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\IPython\zmq\__init__.py", line 39, in <module> check_for_zmq('2.1.4') File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\IPython\zmq\__init__.py", line 17, in check_for_zmq import zmq File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\zmq\__init__.py", line 32, in <module> ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary(libzmq) File "C:\Python27\Lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 431, in LoadLibrary return self._dlltype(name) File "C:\Python27\Lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 353, in __init__ self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)

The same as before! Any more thoughts?

Thanks!

[unpingco]

But, when you go to a plain python interpreter (i.e.
c:\python27\python.exe ) and do

  >>> import zmq

does it load error-free?

Thanks!

Yeah, here is some output:

`

import zmq
zmq.zmq_version()
'2.1.11'
`

Importing ctypes also returns no errors. It is version 1.1.0.

[unpingco]

In a Regular console window, do

  c:> python -v

and then

>>> import zmq

and then watch the trace carefully. It should confess exactly where it
is getting the libraries. Ultimately, I think you will need to use
DependencyWalker on the PYD or DLLs in ZMQ to find out what's missing.

I hope that helps.

@youngpm: you can also take a look at #21 to see if you're running into a similar issue, and if the solution proposed in this pyodbc bug solves it for you

[youngpm]

Sorry I've been out of the office on jury duty! In any case, I'm going to try what you suggest. edouardp says

"I did this with all of the *.pyd files and now I've got gvim <-> ipython 0.12 interaction going great!"

It is unclear to me which *.pyd files he is referring to.

Thanks!

[tmdk]

I think he is referring to all the *.pyd files in the pyzmq package:

zmq\core\constants.pyd
zmq\core\context.pyd
zmq\core\device.pyd
zmq\core\error.pyd
zmq\core\message.pyd
zmq\core\poll.pyd
zmq\core\socket.pyd
zmq\core\stopwatch.pyd
zmq\core\version.pyd
zmq\devices\monitoredqueue.pyd
zmq\utils\initthreads.pyd
zmq\utils\rebuffer.pyd

I had the same problem as in #21 and applying the fix referred by edouardp to these files fixed it for me!

HTH

[quasarj]

I still get the error the first time I type :IPython, but everything seems to function right after that, so I can confirm this still works!

[danbe]

Here are the commands I used to make it run and their outputs.
Windows xp, Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Nov 27 2010, 18:30:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)], zmq 2.2.0

Note that dependencywalker is missing ieshims.dll and wer.dll, but they don't seem to matter

[johndgiese]

I have been trying to get this to work for a few days now; I am having the exact same problems.

A pop-up says:

Runtime Error!
Program: C:\opt\vim\vim73\gvim.exe

R6034
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I check the versions of python in vim, and it is correct. I also checked that the python_path is the same. I am trying to follow the instructions in here, but haven't gotten it to work yet.

I am on windows 64bit,
Python 2.7.3
newest version of vim (7.3. something)
IPython 0.12

[danbe]

I never got a popup, just an import error, pyzmq version not ok, import error, initthreads import error etc. Maybe you have a different error,
Did you run the dependencywalker on the dlls to see if anything is missing, and then try to fix the manifest with mt?
It works very nicely for me now.

[quasarj]

I was getting the exact behavior johndgiese is seeing - with the popup error. Running mt as explained above on all of the pyd files fixed it for me. Note that some of my files didn't match the exact ones from the pydoc thread, i had to run it on ALL the pyd files in the pyzmq directory.
