9 years ago I'm also having trouble on a Windows 64 machine with Stata 11 IC. The sample notebook loads in the browser but within a few seconds I have a dead kernel. Could it be that the kernel has to be adapted to the version of Stata? What setup(s) has this been tested under?
UPDATE: I've now got it working! In case it's of use to other relative newbies like myself, this is how I got it to work:
- Clone the github repo to your machine. Until his pull request is accepted, use @methodds fork as it contains his suggested patch to work with python3 (and I believe if you also add the line
from __future__ import print_function to the top of the stata_kernel.py file the kernel should then in fact work with either python2 or 3).
- Apply the changes with a 'python setup.py install' from the command line.
- Now follow instructions for a Stata Automation object (I used instructions for a Vista machine).
- From the command line type 'ipython notebook' (or 'jupyter notebook') . You'll see Stata open up in the background when you open your first notebook.
Thanks for this kernel, This is huge!
One remaining question: what about plots? They don't seem to show up either in the notebook or in the parallel Stata session.

Hi,
thank you very much for this attempt to finally level up Stata "Do-Files" ;) I remember you also wrote a python package for Stata.
Unfortunately your version does not work for me at the moment. I can select the Stata kernel, but it dies as soon as the notebook opens and tries to load the Kernel. I tried this with iPython 3.2 and 4.0, my Stata Version is MP14 (x64). I also doubled checked my Automation object, which works just fine for ipystata.
Update: The problem was pretty simple: Python 3 incompatibility due to missing parentheses for a print statement. I sent you a pull request with the change and an updated source for the kernelbase import.
