Hi all,

  The issue with multiarray came back. I manage to get things working
for the tifffile package installing the tifffile.py into
/usr/bin/tiffile (removing the py extension). However another package
is now failing: CellProfiler. Symptoms are:


$ python /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/CellProfiler.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/CellProfiler.py", line 17, in <module>
    import numpy as np
  File "/usr/share/pyshared/numpy/__init__.py", line 136, in <module>
    import add_newdocs
  File "/usr/share/pyshared/numpy/add_newdocs.py", line 9, in <module>
    from numpy.lib import add_newdoc
  File "/usr/share/pyshared/numpy/lib/__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
    from type_check import *
  File "/usr/share/pyshared/numpy/lib/type_check.py", line 8, in <module>
    import numpy.core.numeric as _nx
  File "/usr/share/pyshared/numpy/core/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    import multiarray
ImportError: No module named multiarray


Now if I do:

$ cp /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/CellProfiler.py /tmp
$ python /tmp/CellProfiler.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/CellProfiler.py", line 193, in <module>
    os.chdir(os.path.join(root, script_path))
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/cellprofiler/cpmath'

Could someone please point me to some documentation get rid definitely
of this kind of issues. I'd like to keep as much as the original
package as possible, therefore I would like to keep the
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/CellProfiler.py (or pyshared
equivalent). But how do I load this file ?

Thanks very much.
