After running an VTune™ Amplifier XE 2011 data analysis from within Microsoft* Visual Studio*, you may see a dialog box with the caption "Attach debugger?" and the message

<type 'exceptions.ImportError'> No module name pythonhelpers1 <string>(1): <module>

AXE+python+error.PNG

Pressing Yes or No usually results in the display of the collected data.  Sometimes the dialog is NOT displayed and in those cases the data may not be displayed.

 
Environment : 
Microsoft* Windows*

Root Cause : 
There is a compatibility issue with the current releases of Intel® Parallel Amplifier 2011 and VTune Amplifier XE.  Both tools use different versions of a DLL and the version used by Parallel Amplifier is not compatible with VTune Amplifier XE.  If that version is loaded by Visual Studio, VTune Amplifier XE cannot load the newer version of the DLL, which is required for correct operation.

Resolution : 
Until a fix is available, closing down Visual Studio*, restarting it, and using VTune Amplifier XE prior to any other activity should resolve the issue for the duration of the Visual Studio invocation.  The problem arises when Parallel Amplifier functionality is used prior to VTune Amplifier XE in the same Visual Studio session.

This section explains the terms that Intel uses to describe the platforms in its documentation, installation procedures and support site.  Note: not all Intel software development tools support all three platforms.

IA-32 Architecture refers to systems based on 32-bit processors generally compatible with the Intel Pentium® II processor, (for example, Intel® Pentium® 4 processor or Intel® Xeon® processor), or processors from other manufacturers supporting the same instruction set, running a 32-bit operating system.

Intel® 64 Architecture (formerly Intel® EM64T)refers to systems based on IA-32 architecture processors which have 64-bit architectural extensions, (for example, Intel® Core™2 processor family), running a 64-bit operating system such as Microsoft Windows Vista* x64 or a Linux* "x86_64" variant. If the system is running a 32-bit  operating system, then IA-32 architecture applies instead. Systems based on AMD* processors running a 64-bit operating system are also supported by Intel compilers for Intel® 64 architecture applications.

64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Consult with your system vendor for more information.

IA-64 Architecture refers to systems based on the Intel® Itanium® processor running a 64-bit operating system.
