Pandas library not installing for Startup Python Script to run

I am trying to set up the Startup python script to be able to run a process which taps into Smartsheets API and converts it to an excel, which I then separately read into FME and runs through an FME process. I'd like to have the python code run every time before running through the data processing workflow I set up.

fmeerrorI have added my python script, set the interpreter to 3.10 and have installed modules into the Documents\\FME\\Plugins\\Python folder using command prompt : C:\\Program Files\\FME>fmeworkbench.exe python -m pip install pandas --target C:\\Users\\vberg2\\Documents\\FME\\Plugins\\Python . It ran and successfully installed pandas, along with a few other modules I installed after. I am however getting this error when I try to run the FME workspace: Python Exception <ModuleNotFoundError>: No module named 'pandas._libs.interval'. When I look into the folder directory, that file is there.

 

Am I missing a step, or did I install pandas incorrectly?

 

Thanks for the help!

I suspect the error you're seeing is due to the pandas library not being a universal library--it contains binary files that are Python-version and operating system specific.

 

The version of pandas installed is likely a different Python version than one required by FME. FME 2022.2 bundles a Python 3.10 interpreter. So the Windows Python 3.10 version of pandas needs to be installed for FME to be able to use.

 

You can confirm this by checking the C:\\Users\\<user>\\Documents\\FME\\Plugins\\Python\\pandas\\_libs directory as this folder contains binary files. The version of these binary files should be named something like interval.cp310-win_amd64.pyd. The number after interval.cp indicates the Python version the binary file is created for.

Trying to install alternative versions of libraries that were initially installed with default versions as defined by pip delivers following error:

ERROR: Directory 'C:\\\\Users\\\\<USER>\\\\Documents\\\\FME\\\\Plugins\\\\Python\\\\' is not installable. Neither 'setup.py' nor 'pyproject.toml' found.

 

Any clue?

 

Thanks.
