ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement sfi

[Fred Lee]

I want to use python via stata, so firstly, I need to install sfi to tranfer the data from stata to python.
Howver, the coce below cannot work. It says "ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement sfi"
Why? My python version is 3.9.1

conda install sfi
pip3 install sfi

Hi Fred,

-sfi- is not a PyPI module. It ships with Stata 16 and up.

For example, on my Widows 10 machine, it is located:

C:\Program Files\Stata16\ado\base\py

That is, it does not need -pip- or -conda- installation so long as you have access to Stata V16 or better.

Great, that is correct, there is no need to install this for using. Thanks again!
