Error while working with Cython

Question

I'm facing a problem with Cython. I created the following two files in the same directory.

< sample.pyx >

print("hello world!")

< test.py >

import pyximport
pyximport.install()
import sample

When I run test.py, I got the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<ipython-input-15-e135bfea2262>", line 1, in <module>

File "C:\Users\itsez\Desktop\python\pyximport.py", line 180, in build_module

ImportError: Building module sample failed: ["SystemError: Parent module '' not loaded, cannot perform relative import\n"]

What am I doing wrong?

I'm using Windows10, maybe that's the reason pyximport doesn't work. — Harutaka Kawamura, May 08 '16 at 03:19
it shouldn't be - cython is cross-platform. Have you used it successfully before? How did you install it? What version do you have? — MattDMo, May 08 '16 at 03:22
This is the first time I use Cython. I installed the latest version of Anaconda for windows 32-bit yesterday. After the installation, I updated Cython by using "conda update cython". — Harutaka Kawamura, May 08 '16 at 03:31
Are you using ipython? Maybe your problem is related to something like in http://stackoverflow.com/a/15622021/5781248 — J.J. Hakala, May 12 '16 at 02:07
