I have successfully got my application to build, but when I come to run it and load modules dynamically I run into the following error:

Google seems to think that it may be because numpy was built with/for the (static?) system Python and this maybe some kind of issue (I actually installed it via pip). If this is the case, how do I go about rebuilding it from source as the deployed python is a library, not an exe?

Sorry, I've never used numpy.

I would expect the system Python to be dynamic (although there may be a static library installed as well). I'd play with LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make sure the right dynamic library is being found.
