msvccompiler in numpy.distutils

[GoogleCodeExporter]

While installing nidaqmx the following error occurred at the end of the 
installation:

"No module names msvccompiler in numpy.distutils; trying from distutils 
customize MSVCCompiler"

The list of modules in Python shows that "nidaqmx_h_9_6" and "nidaqmx_h_9_7" 
are available. However, trying to execute "from nidaqmx import System" gave the 
following error:

File "<pyshell#11>", line 1, in <module>
    from nidaqmx_h_9_7 import System
ImportError: cannot import name System

I am working on Windows 7 64-bit.

The message "No module names msvccompiler in num..." is not an error message.

You should use:

  from nidaqmx import System

The command "from nidaqmx import System" gives the following message in Python:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
    from nidaqmx import System
ImportError: No module named nidaqmx

while "from nidaqmx_h_9_7 import System" gives the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
    from nidaqmx_h_9_7 import System
ImportError: cannot import name System

I suspect that you are trying to import inside nidaqmx directory.
Make sure that nidaqmx package is installed in the location listed in sys.path 
and try importing nidaqmx from different directory.
