Installing PyStan on Windows is challenging and something of a work-in-progress. If you have experience with compiling C++ programs on windows, we'd love some help.
Here are the current instructions: https://pystan.readthedocs.org/en/latest/windows.html#windows
If you're using Python 2.7 and Anaconda, you shouldn't have any problems.
I'm now getting this error:
In[25]: import pystan
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\daniel\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\IPython\core\interactiveshell.py", line 3032, in run_code
exec(code_obj, self.user_global_ns, self.user_ns)
File "
Great.
I'm surprised this is necessary---that is, I would think Anaconda would have taken care of it. Do you have any suggestions for alterations to the installation instructions on Windows?

I was able to fix the problem by going to \Anaconda\Lib\distutils and creating a file called distutils.cfg with the contents:
[build] compiler = mingw32
[build_ext] compiler = mingw32
Now I can import without errors.

I apologize, but I was wrong about it working. It took a while for the error message to appear but this is what I got:

It looks like it's not finding a C/C++ compiler (it's looking for gcc).
What about trying to run import pystan
from the Anaconda Python REPL directly? (It looks like you might be running things from PyCharm?)
(I take it you followed the steps in the docs?)
That's odd. I definitely have gcc and a C/C++ compiler. I have a recent version of Visual Stuidos on my computer and I had to have a working gcc for another python package so I should be go.
What is the Anaconda Python REPL?
I have followed the steps detailed here: https://pystan.readthedocs.org/en/latest/windows.html#windows
I agree that it's odd!
(The REPL is just what you get when you run python from a terminal (rather than via an IDE).
If you wouldn't mind running Python from a terminal window and doing an "import pystan" from there we can at least confirm that it's installed correctly.

I cannot do it at the moment but I will do it when I can, and I'll get back to you.
So I just went to the command line and imported pystan. I had no errors. Then I did it from the pycharm python console and it worked without errors.
Good sign that it imported without errors.
The error message you posted did suggest there might be some miscommunication between PyCharm and Anaconda. PyStan is, like a lot of scientific software using Cython, a little picky about its environment.
Windows support for CmdStan and RStan is better than for PyStan currently.
Sorry I can't be more help.

I'm getting another error.
ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
Thanks for following up.
Is this happening in Anaconda or PyCharm?

Unfortunately the answer is yes.
Actually, from pycharm it lets me import it. However, when I run pystan.stan, I gett the error

I'm not an expert on Windows but it would be great to support it better in the future. I have a Windows machine lying around and I have been meaning to try installing Anaconda and PyStan. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks.
Closing for now. The Windows instructions have changed a bit.
I am having trouble importing pystan. I am using a 64bit windows 7 system. I successfully installed it using Anaconda and pycharm. However, when I go to a python console and type: import pystan I get the following response:

I'm not really sure what's going on.
