Windows Tips and Troubleshooting

If you need to install Python first, the latest versions of Windows 10 can install Python for you automatically - running python from the command-prompt will take you to the Windows Store where you can download an official version.

We also strongly recommend using a 64-bit rather than the 32-bit version of Python, you can check this by running the following command from the Command Prompt,

python -c "import struct; print(struct.calcsize('P')*8, 'bit')"

Also note that on Windows, you can run the datainpane command either by running datainpane or datainpane.exe on the command-line.

Windows-specific Issues

Import errors when running/importing Data In Pane

You may encounter errors such as ImportError: DLL load failed when running Data In Pane or importing it within your Python code.

If so, try installing the Visual C++ Redistributables for Windows from Microsoft and running again (you most likely want to download the version for x64, i.e. vc_redist.x64.exe)

Data In Pane install errors trying to compile pyarrow using Visual C++

This usually occurs when you are running a 32-bit version of Python and installing via pip. Install a 64-bit version of Python (for example from the Windows Store as mentioned above).

This may also occur when using Windows 7 - we only support Windows 10 and above.
