 I am trying to embed a Python2.6 (also using numpy and scipy) into a large
 C program.  Simple programs worked fine.  However, if the python module
 that I am calling from C includes the line
 from numpy import *
 The whole thing fails and I get an error in visual studios when the python
 module runs.
 R6034: an application has made an attempt to load the c runtime library
 incorrectly.  Using dependency walker I narrowed down the problem to:
 GetProcAddress(0x73C10000 [DWMAPI.DLL], "DwmGetWindowAttribute") called
 from "UXTHEME.DLL" at address 0x7404C3DB and returned 0x73C11C76.
 GetProcAddress(0x75520000 [GDI32.DLL], "GdiIsMetaPrintDC") called from
 "USP10.DLL" at address 0x75AA8306 and returned 0x75528AB9.
 DllMain(0x5C7B0000, DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH, 0x00000000) in "MSVCR90.DLL"
 returned 0 (0x0).
 DllMain(0x5C7B0000, DLL_PROCESS_DETACH, 0x00000000) in "MSVCR90.DLL"
 called.
 DllMain(0x5C7B0000, DLL_PROCESS_DETACH, 0x00000000) in "MSVCR90.DLL"
 returned 0 (0x0).
 Unloaded "MULTIARRAY.PYD" at address 0x69B80000.
 Unloaded "MSVCR90.DLL" at address 0x5C7B0000.
 LoadLibraryExA("C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\multiarray.pyd",
 0x00000000, LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH) returned NULL. Error: A dynamic
 link library (DLL) initialization routine failed (1114).
 Second chance exception 0xC0000005 (Access Violation) occurred in
 "PYTHON26.DLL" at address 0x1E01A2FA.
 Exited "PYTHON_TEST.EXE" (process 0x1064) with code -1073741819
 (0xC0000005).

 Then I just adjusted the Python module to just import numarray

 from numpy import numarray

 def my_eig(a,b,c,d):
     print 'hello world'
     return x

 In the command window the error displayed is:
 Import multiarray
 ImportError: DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization
 routine failed.

 I should note that numpy and scipy work fine if run from IDLE.
