Blender 2.78 cant find plugins, cant find uPy

[Jake Litke]

I'm following the directions posted here to install the uPy suite in blender:
http://www.autopack.org/install/blender-installation

Running Windows 10 and downloaded the blender 2.78 set of files from that link. After unzipping, I added the contents to the blender folder like as described in the directions and in the first image. In blender, I somehow  dont see any of the three plugins in the add-ons tab, even when showing system and community/testing filters.

I tried to "install from file..." from the blender user preferences dialogue, but kept getting errors that "uPy cannot be found".

Anything else I shoud try? Am I overlooking something?

Hi Jake,

I tried to reproduce and didnt get any issue. Can you check the content of the MGLToolsPckgs folder ?
Also, can you toggle the windows console, try to install from file the plugin and send me the content of the console ? it should help us find out whats going on.

Hi Ludo,

Here are the contents of the folder. Also, I tried installing from file (selecting "upy_addons.zip" as source) and I was able to activate in this window without a problem this time. I think previously I had used some other file as source.

When I try to launch either plugin I get an error related to "multiarray". I'm attaching the error through console. Sorry about the awkward screenshots.

Thanks,
Jake

Hi Jake,

it seems that numpy can't be loaded. I am not sure what is causing the problem. Can you confirm that you are using Blender v2.78a 64bits ?

also could you open the python console and type the following :

>> import sys

>> sys.version

on my laptop I got '3.5.1 (default, Feb 17 2016, 17:09:19) [MSC v.1800 64 bit (AMD64)]'

Hi Ludo,

My python version line is exactly the same as yours. It looks like I was running 2.78 64-bit, though. I updated to 2.78a and tried re-installing the plugins, but I'm getting the same numpy-related error. I'm attaching my system info file.

Do you think it matters that I have python 2.7 and 3.2 installed elsewhere on this computer?

Thanks,
Jake

Hi Ludo,

I found this post in stack exchange:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30143999/python-dll-load-failed-1-is-not-a-valid-win32-application

The error that this person sees looks like the same error that I'm getting when I try to open ePMV. Do you think the issue that raises this error is a 32-bit/64-bit compatibility problem like was suggested in one of the replies? Could something like that be happening here?

Thanks,
Jake

Hi Ludo,

I tried to install the autopack and ePMV on my ubuntu system (running 12.04), and I'm seeing the same error. I was surprised to see the same this on a completely different machine and OS. Maybe this error is linked to a mistake that I'm causing?

Thanks for your help on this.

Hi Jake, 

I am not sure why it will not work for you anywhere. For ubuntu I didnt release the plugin for 2.78 which have a diffferent python version so that should exaplain it. On windows I am still not sure where come from the problem. Its possible that I cant reproduce the problem as I am testing on the development computer...

If you let me access to your computer I can look at it, it will be easier for me to see what could be the problem. We can use TeamViewer for that purpose and you can send me a private email with the login password.

Sorry all, there was an issue with some DLL. I fixed the release and it should now work with blender 2.78a 64bits on windows.

Windows 64bits Blender 2.78 (python 3.5) upy-Blender2.78-win-64.zip

Hello both,

Did the release from the previous post solve the issue for you?
Using blender 2.78c, I am still running into the same DLL error as you did: failed to import multiarray.

Any new ideas?

Thanks in andvance and best regards,

Stijn

Hi, 

have you installed the VC redistributable : visual C++ redistributable for vs2015  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

also try to use the blender archive and place it in one of your user folder instead of using the installer that put blender in the Program File folder.

Installing the VC redistributable solved the issue!

Thanks!
