Cython AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'declare'

问题

Compiling .pyx files was working fine but suddenly it started raising error when I type:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

I get the error:

c:\Python27\cython\helloworld>python setup.py build_ext --inplace
running build_ext

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'declare'

I tried running it on a simple .pyx file helloworld:

def say_hello_to(name):
    print "Hello %s!" %name

with the setup.py:

from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
from Cython.Distutils import build_ext

setup(
  name = 'Hello world app',
  cmdclass = {'build_ext': build_ext},
  ext_modules = [Extension("hello", ["hello.pyx"])]
)

It already worked several times, something has changed but as I Googled and searched the issue I couldn't find any information. I'm using Python 2.7 64 bits, latest version of Cython and to compile the file I use Windows SDK C/C++ compiler and prepare the environment by running:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0>set DISTUTILS_USE_SDK=1
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0>setenv /x64 /release

Any ideas of what might have happened? Tnx in advance!

回答1:

I have had the same error. Worked on it for one whole day until I have realized that I have followed some blog entry to create a cython.py file in my directory holding some information how to compile. I do not recall where I found this but by removing this file everything works fine

回答2:

I got the same error when running from a python script:

os.system("python setup.py build_ext --inplace")

while

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

worked from command promt.

The reason was that the name of my test package was "cython"... stupid me

I'm not sure this helps, but when I got this error I deleted all .pyc files and ran the script again via IDLE (opened in IDLE and clicked F5) and then it worked just fine.
