Hi all, On Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2017 I', trying to run the following code in x64 debug configuration: #include <iostream> #include <boost/python.hpp> #include <boost/python/numpy.hpp> namespace p = boost::python; namespace np = boost::python::numpy; int main() { Py_Initialize(); np::initialize(); p::tuple shape = p::make_tuple(3, 3); np::dtype dtype = np::dtype::get_builtin<float>(); np::ndarray a = np::zeros(shape, dtype); return 0; } In the line np::initialize(); I'm getting a Exception thrown at 0x0000000066E43B15 (python36.dll) in test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000025. occurred Inside boost::python::numpy::intialize() the exception is thrown when trying to execute the line: PyObject *numpy = PyImport_ImportModule("numpy.core.multiarray"); Does anyone know why that would happen or how to debug the issue further? I have installed all packages via pip and executed the python code as described in https://www.scipy.org/getting-started.html. Thanks ahead! Christian
