Error - "failed to create process“ #30

Closed xingjianpan closed 9 years ago

Hello,

I followed below steps to install pandashells, but when I tried to run any commands(i.e. p.config), I would get the error message "failed to create process“. Any ideas? Thanks!

OS: Windows 10. Anaconda python2.7(64bit)

# Create and activate a new conda env for pandashells (optional) 
conda create -n pandashells python=2.7 anaconda
. activate pandashells

# seaborn and mpld3 only needed if you want to create plots
conda install seaborn
pip install mpld3

# installs all command line tools
pip install pandashells

Hello. Pandashells was designed to be used at the bash prompt. As such, I would be surprised if it actually worked in a windows environment. I'd be curious to know if anyone gets it to work under Windows with cygwin though.

I don't know how plugged in to the Python community you are, but most of the Pandashells capability is available by running pandas IPython Notebook, which I believe plays nicely with Windows.
