build scipy error cythonize failed

Question

I\'m trying to build scipy and I get a RuntimeError:

$sudo python setup.py build
Processing scipy/cluster/_vq_rewrite.pyx
Traceback (most recent call last):
         


        

Answer 1

Python setuptools solved the problem.

http://docs.cython.org/src/quickstart/install.html
easy_install cython or pip install cython

Answer 2

If you do not have Cython installed then use: pip install Cython. However, if you do have an old version of Cython installed like me then this is what solved it for me: pip install --upgrade Cython
