Necessity of pywin32 package? #24

Closed bquistorff closed 7 years ago

bquistorff commented 7 years ago

When trying to use the first time, I got an error when trying to import ipystata that win32com could not be imported. Everything worked great after I installed the pywin32 package. I'm not sure if this was specific to me or if pywin32 should be listed as a dependency on Windows. FWIW, I was using an Anaconda 4 distribution with a Python 3.5 environment on Windows 10 and I had installed ipystata using pip.

Thanks a lot for the heads-up! To my knowledge pywin32 should come with the Windows Anaconda distribution by default. However, to prevent any confusion in the future I will update the README to include a list of all the dependencies including the less notable (but still important) ones like pywin32.
