Runtime error caused by importing numpy

[Yitzhak Weissman]

I have a script called 'import_numpy' with a single line: 'import numpy'. The script runs fine with my interpreter. I have run pyinstaller to create an '.exe' file from this script. When I launched the file, I obtained this error:

I would greatly appreciate any help with fixing this issue.

Importing numpy (albeit with 2.0.1) on Windows with Python 3.12 is part of PyInstaller’s and numpy’s test suites so your environment or something you’re doing must be an outlier here. Is anaconda involved by any chance?

No anaconda. The script uses a virtual environment with Python 3.12, created by PyCharm. Both Python and Numpy were installed by PyCharm.

Just tested 2.0.1. Same error

Update: I just created a new project (with PyCharm) and configured it to work with Python 3.10. The error disappeared, so the issue is resolved for me.
