Installing (and then importing) awkward1 on Windows

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

I just found this library (looks awesome, looking forward to using it), but I am getting an error on import. Installing with pip raised no problems that I recall.

I ran import awkward1 as ak in jupyter, and get the error:

What causes this error, and how might I solve it?

Thank you!

The Windows wheels for this release are out. I had trouble with the PyPI limit and had to remove old releases (and ask for an increase), so the release still isn’t finished—it will be another half hour at least.

It should be possible to do a regular pip install now, though you don’t strictly need to because the official wheel is no different from the one you already have.

@gordonwatts Thanks for the explanation!

In Linux and MacOS, we include both static and dynamic link libraries with the intention of letting C++ projects link against the pure C++ parts, so this is a good reason to keep the .lib and .exp for awkward.dll and awkward-cpu-kernels.dll, but perhaps not _ext.dll (the Python interface to the C++ layer). We could perhaps drop _ext.lib and _ext.exp, but maybe not just yet.
