OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found, Datawig 0.1.12

[anastasiaplatovski]

Hi All,

I installed the latest (0.1.12) version of Datawig module. I've considered all the package requirements:

• scikit-learn[alldeps]==0.22.1
• typing==3.6.6
• pandas==0.25.3
• mxnet==1.4.0

But when I run the command "import datawig", I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/PC/Desktop/python_ummd/venv/Lib/imputation.py", line 7, in import datawig File "C:\Users\PC\Desktop\untitled1\venv\bin\lib\site-packages\datawig__init.py", line 2, in from .column_encoders import CategoricalEncoder, BowEncoder, NumericalEncoder, SequentialEncoder File "C:\Users\PC\Desktop\untitled1\venv\bin\lib\site-packages\datawig\column_encoders.py", line 26, in import mxnet as mx File "C:\Users\PC\Desktop\untitled1\venv\bin\lib\site-packages\mxnet__init__.py", line 24, in from .context import Context, current_context, cpu, gpu, cpu_pinned File "C:\Users\PC\Desktop\untitled1\venv\bin\lib\site-packages\mxnet\context.py", line 24, in from .base import classproperty, with_metaclass, _MXClassPropertyMetaClass File "C:\Users\PC\Desktop\untitled1\venv\bin\lib\site-packages\mxnet\base.py", line 213, in _LIB = _load_lib() File "C:\Users\PC\Desktop\untitled1\venv\bin\lib\site-packages\mxnet\base.py", line 204, in _load_lib lib = ctypes.CDLL(lib_path[0], ctypes.RTLD_LOCAL) File "C:\Users\PC\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\ctypes\init.py", line 364, in init__ self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode) OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found

I want to use SimpleImputer. I use Windows [Version 10.0.18363.836], Python 3.7, Pycharm 2020.1.1.

Could someone give me a hint by this issue?

Best regards, Anastasiia

HI Anastasiia,

I don't have a windows machine at my hands, so can't confirm but maybe using the same python bit-width as your dll will help, see here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/1740

Hi Tammo,

thank you very much for your reply. Can you please explain how can I find these dll files?

HI Anastasiia,

Can you try a different Python version, i.e. 32bit or 64bit Python?
