"Python process exited before it was possible to create the interface object. ....

[patrickcourtot]

Hi
This excel is working fine on my Laptop but do not work on my desktop
Anaconda, Python, Excel an,d python script are exactly on the same location as on the laptop

Xlwing is OK
but the functions are not working. I get this error message
"Python process exited before it was possible to create the interface object.
Command: pythonw.exe -c ""import sys;sys.path.append(r'D:\SkyDrive\APP\VDI\Project Journal');import xlwings.server; xlwings.server.serve('{4c3ae7ba-2be9-4782-a377-f13934ffc4a9}')"" Working Dir: "

Any idea N

Are you using the functions via xlwings or did you set them up the ExcelPython way?

The ExcelPython way

Then this coud be a conflict of the two libraries (the error msg comes from xlwings). In your spreadsheet, do you have both the xlpython and xlwings VBA modules?

Hi Felix

On both machines (Laptop and desktop)

I have in VBA
xlpython
xlpython_udf

and xlpython.xlam
ExcelPython

But in one the excel file where the functions are not working only on the
desktop PC (even doublesum is not working)
This Excel file is copied from the laptop to the desktop, so exactly the
same.

This morning I tested again tto setup ExcelPythonon the problematic excel
file
setup ExcelPython -> OK
Import Python UDFs ->* Execution error '53' File not found
xlpython32-2.0.8.dll*
but the file is in :
C:\Users\Patrick\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\xlpython

On my test Excel DoubleSum is working on both machines laptop & desktop
and
setup ExcelPython -> OK
Import Python UDFs -> OK

On both machines xlwings is wotking fine

Patrick

Hi, I have similar questions here when I used excelpython add in.
When I click "import Python UDSFs", it shows "Python process exited before it was possible to create the interface object...."
When I checked myl log file, it showed "Exception: Cannot import PyWin32. Are you sure it's installed?"
However, I used Anaconda Spyder, when I type "import _win32sysloader" in console, it does not show error message.
I am not sure what happened here...

[ericremoreynolds]

What happens if you run Python from Start > Run > "python" ?

Can you still import _win32sysloader?

[jiangfengpinglan91]

I am new to python. Can you explain a little by "run Python from Start->Run->"python""? Do you still mean I run python from Anaconda Spyder or run Python from other place? Thanks a lot.

[ericremoreynolds]

No worries.

Actually the best thing is if you open a command prompt then once you have done that, type python and press Enter.

[jiangfengpinglan91]

Thanks. I did the following and here is what I find:

I have thought that Anaconda has installed it for me, because I typed "import _win32sysloader" in Anaconda Spyder, it did not show error message...

[ericremoreynolds]

By default, ExcelPython launches whatever Python installation it finds on the system path. On your machine this is not the Anaconda installation (your screenshot shows that it's standard Python v2.7.10) otherwise it would say "Continuum Analytics".

You need to make Anaconda the default system Python installation. I am not sure what the quickest way of doing this on your machine is. One way to do it could be to rerun the Anaconda installer making sure you select the "make anaconda my default Python" option in the relevant install step.

[jiangfengpinglan91]

Thanks a lot. I rerun my Anaconda. Now it is the picture before installation step. If I select the second item "register Anaconda as system Python 2.7". Does it mean that I choose Anaconda as my default Python distribution?

[ericremoreynolds]

Yes leave those two selected.

I had a same issue and I fixed it by below.

"Python process exited before it was possible to create the interface object.
Command: pythonw.exe -c ""import sys;sys.path.append(r'D:\SkyDrive\APP\VDI\Project Journal');import xlwings.server; xlwings.server.serve('{4c3ae7ba-2be9-4782-a377-f13934ffc4a9}')"" Working Dir: "

from this error message, try to run those codes line by line.

import sys
sys.path.append(r'D:\SkyDrive\APP\VDI\Project Journal')
import xlwings.server
xlwings.server.serve('{4c3ae7ba-2be9-4782-a377-f13934ffc4a9}')

then the xlwings server will re-run and your code will work. Thanks.
