DISLIN 9.3 old manual problems

I just installed DISLIN 9.3 for python (DISPY is installed too) and I
am up to:

1.4 Quickplots
Some quickplots are added to the DISLIN module which are collections
of DISLIN routines for displaying data with one command. For example,
the function ’plot’ displays two-dimensional curves.

Example:
from Numeric import *
from dislin import *
x = arange (100, typecode=Float32)
plot (x, sin (x/5))
disfin ()


I built the following little program:

from numpy import *
from dislin import *

def main():
x = arange (100, typecode=Float32)
plot (x, sin (x/5))
disfin ()

main()

*** Here are the problems:

1. The "from Numeric import" statement did not work, I replaced with
"from numpy import*" and no complains form the interpreter.

2. If I enyter "from dislin import *" I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
from dislin import *
ImportError: No module named dislin
I checked the environmental variables paths and it all seems Ok:
c:\dislin
SYSTEM PATH = %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;\System32;\Wbem;C:
\Archivos de programa;\QuickTime;\QTSystem;C:\dislin\win
PYTHON PATH = C:\Archivos de programa\ArcGIS\bin;c:\dislin\python

WHAT ELSE TO DO?

any help will be much apreciated

PYTHON PATH = C:\Archivos de programa\ArcGIS\bin;c:\dislin\python

the environment variable is PYTHONPATH and i has to contain the directory
where the dislin.pyd module can be found;
you should set environment variable DISLIN too
(see python.inf, which you can find in the dislin-distribution)

depending on your python version (2.4 or 2.5) you need the correct
dislin-distribution, because dislin is a fortran/c library with
a layer for python access.

and try some examples of the distribution (they are importing only dislin
and math modules).

where thedislin.pyd module can be found;

** Thank you for the comments:
1- The strange thing is that I went to the dislin directory in the C:
drive and there was no disli.pyd file anywhere. I found the file in
the My Documents subdirectory where I had originally unzipped the
dislin archived files I downloaded and from where I run the setup.

you should set environment variableDISLINtoo
(see python.inf, which you can find in thedislin-distribution)

2 - Well I have followed the DISLIN 9.3 inf file for Python 2.5.2 for
Windows. It contains commands for a unix command line "unzip -o
dl_93_py.zip setup first and then... " and then:

" Windows 98/ME

Add the following commands to the autoexec.bat file

PATH=c:\dislin\win;%PATH%
SET DISLIN=c:\dislin
SET PYTHONPATH=c:\dislin\python

Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista

The environment variables can be set or modified with the
Control Panel
(see -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment
Variables)."

*** I have followed all these directions but DISLIN still does not
shop up as a module when making the Python calls.

It keeps me entertained in spite that my productivity is cero ;-)

The name of the Dislin module for Python 2.5 is dislin.pyd, not
disli.pyd. It's
copied by the setup program to the directory c:\dislin\python if you
have choosed
the default installation directory c:\dislin.

The environment variable for Python is PYTHONPATH without any blanks.
You can check
the variable with the command 'echo %PYTHONPATH%' at a command prompt.

hallo colleagues,


following absolute beginners problem:

I chose dl_10_p2.zip for my python 2.5 and did windowsXP-installing
but I get

>>> import dislin

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
import dislin
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initdislin)


Why?

Maybe it's because it's dislin.pyd and not dislin.py?

would be pleased to hear from you
