Problem with installing/setup Eikon library for Python on Windows 7
Hi, I followed the directions on the website for installing the library thru pip. It seems to have installed successfully:
Installing collected packages: eikon
Successfully installed eikon-0.1.13
However, when I try to check the module on Python shell with an import command I get the following:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\semih.gumustekin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\pandas\__init__.py", line 26, in <module> from pandas._libs import (hashtable as _hashtable, File "C:\Users\semih.gumustekin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\pandas\_libs\__init__.py", line 4, in <module> from .tslib import iNaT, NaT, Timestamp, Timedelta, OutOfBoundsDatetime File "pandas\_libs\tslibs\conversion.pxd", line 11, in init pandas._libs.tslib File "pandas\_libs\tslibs\conversion.pyx", line 1, in init pandas._libs.tslibs.conversion ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

If you want to import pandas from the source directory, you may need to run 'python setup.py build_ext --inplace --force' to build the C extensions first.
Any idea what I might have done wrong please?

This issue could be caused for different reasons.
A solution could be an upgrade of all eikon's dependencies with the command :
pip install eikon --upgrade
You'll see that a 0.1.14 version was published recently.

numpy is already installed and uptodate.. do i still need to install miniconda/anaconda?

And what's the result if you install numpy (and pandas ?) before eikon ?

if it does not help, try installing anaconda, create a virtual environment and install Eikon, take look at this for more info.

I tried reinstalling everything after uninstalling eikon:
pip freeze --local >pipfreeze.txt
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall -r pipfreeze.txtreinstalled eikon, still no luck unfortunately
I am not an admin user on the machine but ran everything thru admin cmd and also as myself with the --user option0 -
try installing everything with anaconda, as clearly the error that you are seeing is coming from pandas.

Hello @semih.gumustekin
Does the problem still occur after you use anaconda?

I dont have anaconda
I guess I need to chase the IT admin and have him reinstall everything from scratch
I cannot think of any other solution0 -
Please let us know if we have any updates on this.
Does the problem still occur after reinstalling everything from scratch?
