I'm trying to compile a hello world example with Cython on Windows 10. I have visual studio 2015 community. Python 3.5.2

My setup.py looks like this:

from distutils.core import setup
from Cython.Build import cythonize

setup (
   name='print hello world',
   ext_modules=cythonize("print_h_w.pyx", compiler_directives=
   {'language_level': 3}),
)

The file I'm trying to compile looks like this:

print('Hello World')

I build with this command:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

I keep getting this error:

I've been doing a lot of research but I've turned up a lot of nothing. How can I fix this?

  • As a workaround, I started up a Windows 10 virtual machine, installed python 3.5.2, Cython (via pip), and the Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools. Everything worked as it should on the VM... – squirtgun May 25 '17 at 04:39

I think you should have import cython in your print_h_w.pyx file :

import cython
print("hello world")

    Unfortunately, that still doesn't work, and is unnecessary according to my test on a virtual machine. – squirtgun May 26 '17 at 14:42
