Error when running IDF(idfname)

[waynetsu]

Hi, I tried to run idf files using eppy. However, it just does't work when it comes to "idf1 = IDF(idfname)". I don't know what is going on and just couldn't get over this issue.

I am using Pycharm 2022.2.1 (Community Edition) and the eppy package was installed by miniconda 3. The python version is 3.7. I tried two versions of eppy (v0.5.51 and v0.5.63), but the error still exits. The operating system is Windows 10 Professional 22H2.

The error says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\ProgramData\miniconda3\envs\Python_v3.7\lib\code.py", line 90, in runcode
    exec(code, self.locals)

At first glance, that code should work. Not sure what is going wroing. I need to try and recreate that error

Thanks for your reply.

Actually, the same code worked previously in my old computer. However, after I got a new computer (the old one is window 7) and recreate the python environment, it doesn't work properly. It has been quite a long time and I am not able to get access to my old computer, so I am not sure whether I created exactly the same environment as previous.

I would appreciate it if you could help me solve this problem.
