Hi Statalist,

I am trying to integrate python with Stata. I am running into a pair of errors, the second of which I do not fully understand.

First, I try to call python and receive the following error:

Code:
python
minimum Python version required is 2.7
r(111);
This was initially confusing because I have python 3.7 on this computer (Windows 10 OS). I read some online resources suggesting I need to specify the path to my python app, but when I do, I receive a second error:

Code:
python set exec "path\to\my\python\directory\python.exe"
failed to set the specified Python version.
Unable to find the shared library.
r(601);
The tech guys at my office are trying to assist -- it could be something related to file permissions? -- but I would appreciate any expertise on what the problem is here. I do not know what a "shared library" is.

Thanks,

Julian
