I'm encountering a similar problem to the one reported [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25701821/after-upgrading-to-numpy-1-8-2-importerror-cannot-import-name-multiarray), which seems to be a an unresolved issue.

After compiling an exe, a pyinstaller build throws the following error, which is likely caused by the numpy\core\ init.py

There are some [suggestions](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21324426/numpy-build-fails-with-cannot-import-multiarray) that it has to do with conflicting numpy installations however I have uninstalled and re-installed several times and searched for any other installations without luck.
Currently running with numpy-1.9+MKL binaries. 

I have also flagged the multiarray.pyd file into the spec file as a binary to grab. No luck.

No idea what is causing this as I'm not particularly familiar with the init file structure. Any idea how to get this imported?

Possible cause of the problem taken from the init file:

```
from __future__ import division, absolute_import, print_function

from .info import __doc__
from numpy.version import version as __version__

# disables OpenBLAS affinity setting of the main thread that limits
# python threads or processes to one core
import os
envbak = os.environ.copy()
if 'OPENBLAS_MAIN_FREE' not in os.environ:
    os.environ['OPENBLAS_MAIN_FREE'] = '1'
if 'GOTOBLAS_MAIN_FREE' not in os.environ:
    os.environ['GOTOBLAS_MAIN_FREE'] = '1'
from . import multiarray
os.environ.clear()
os.environ.update(envbak)
del envbak
del os

from . import umath
from . import _internal  # for freeze programs
from . import numerictypes as nt
multiarray.set_typeDict(nt.sctypeDict)
