Stata-Python Interface: Python module not working

[Dominique Bourget]

Hello,

I am trying to use the Stata-Python Interface, but for some reason my Stata is unable to find the Python sklearn module from my computer. I use Python 3.7.4, and when I try to import the sklearn module on Python (i.e. instead of from Stata), it works without an error, but when I try to import the same module on my Stata-Python Interface, an error pops up and the error message is "module sklearn not found". Perhaps my Stata is not pointing at the right python? How can I fix this issue?

Thank you,

PS: I tried uninstalling and than re-installing the sklearn module multiple times, but this doesn't seem to fix this issue. When I do this, I can import the sklearn module on my Python without any problem, but I can't import the same module on Stata.

What is the output of

python query

from Stata.

And where is the Python 3.7.4 which works with sklearn located? To find out, in your Python 3.7.4,

import sys
print(sys.path)

Hello,
Below are the outputs:

>>>  python query
2.7/lib/python2.7/config/libpython2.7.dylib

# in python
>>> import sys
>>> print(sys.path)
Users/dominiquebourget/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7

so I am assuming this saying that the Stata is pointing at a wrong Python. How can I adjust this?

Thank you,

The output of help python includes the following advice.

Set which version of Python to use

python set exec pyexecutable [, permanently]
...
pyexecutable specifies the executable of a Python installation, such as "C:\Program Files\Python36\python.exe", "/usr/bin/python", "/usr/local/bin/python", "~/anaconda3/bin/python", or "~/anaconda/bin/python".
