pystata not recognized in Jupyter Notebook

[Dorothy Dickmann]

I just upgraded to Stata 17 SE and am trying to import Stata to Jupyter Notebook for the first time. I am receiving an error that "No module named 'stata_setup.'" I have checked that my Anaconda is updated as well. How might I solve this issue?

I am using the method suggested at: https://www.stata.com/stata-news/new...yter-notebook/

I first get the following in Stata:

. display(c(sysdir_stata))
C:\Program Files\Stata17/
 

Code I am putting in my Python 3 Jupyter Notebook (I have also tried taking out the 'C:' as noted in the following Topic: https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...alling-pystata)

import stata_setup
stata_setup.config('C:/Program Files/Stata17/', 'se')

Error Returned:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-6-a76bcd0c1ed4> in <module> ----> 1 import stata_setup 2 stata_setup.config('/Program Files/Stata17/', 'se') ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'stata_setup'

Have you installed -pip install pystata- in your activated environment?

correction: from anaconda promt:

conda create --name pystata2 python=3.9
conda activate pystata2
conda install pandas numpy jupyterlab
pip install --upgrade --user stata_setup

Just tried this, getting the following:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pystata (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for pystata

Checked -pip list- and see that the versions of the requirements here (https://www.stata.com/python/pystata...l#requirements) are met

numpy 1.18.5 (req 1.9)
pandas 1.0.5 (req 0.15)
ipython 7.16.1 (req 5.0)

Okay, great! All of that worked, but I am still getting the 'No module named 'stata_setup' even after restarting the kernel. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Dorothy Dickmann,

If stata_setup was installed successfully, it should be located in Lib\site-packages of your anaconda home directory or if you created a virtual environment, it should be in Lib\site-packages of your virtual environment directory. It is a file named stata_setup.py.

If it is in your default anaconda environment, you can open a Windows Command Prompt, type

> conda activate 
> python

to enter into Python, then type

>>> import stata_setup
>>> stata_setup.__version__

to see whether it is there.

Zhao Xu (StataCorp) Thank you for the response. I checked using the code you provided -- it had not installed. I repreated the pip install from #2 above, then checked again according to your guidance, and now all is working.
