Summary
I just wrote a Python (3.7.2) program and an using Pyinstaller (3.4) to compile it to an exe. The Python file is using opencv-python (which required numpy) as a dependency. Despite having looked for a while, none of the solutions I have seen online have worked for me.
I do not have anaconda installed, not do I have multiple versions of any of the libs I am using (including Python itself).
Also, when I run 'from numpy import multiarray' in python, even that prints out an error that it cannot do the import.
What I have tried
unistalling and reinstalling numpy and opencv-python
updating numpy to the latest version (1.16).
Running pyinstaller on the program in Windows 10 and 7 VMs in addition to my native Windows 10 (with all dependencies installed prior via pip, of course) (A quick note--when I ran on Win7 I did not get any of the 'lib not found:' errors that I saw in Win10, but the program still failed to run)
None of these results made a difference in the error message I received that 'numpy.core.multiarray failed to import'.
The question
How do I get my program to compile to an exe? I'm open to using a different program (other than pyinstaller).
Thank you!!
The data I have
Here is the error message from running 'from numpy import multiarray' in a python terminal:
ImportError: cannot import name 'multiarray' from 'numpy' (C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py)
Here is the full error message from attempting to run the compiled exe
PS C:\Users\name\Downloads\py\dist\SignRecorder> .\SignRecorder.exe
