Hi, I had signed up for the quantra course. I was not able to load Ta-lib. so I followed the method suggested by your colleague. Ta- lib is working but now my other programs are not working. I am getting all kinds of errors pertaining to versions and cryptography.
Hello,
Python's ecosystem consists of a number of libraries with various versions of each. There could be times when one library is installed, and it could lead to an incompatibility in other libraries.
For example, pandas library works with certain versions of numpy, so you have to check which versions are compatible with each other.
With respect to your issue, can you give us more details of which particular Python library is generating the error, the version of the library, and your computer's OS version as well? This will help us pinpoint the exact issues.
Additionally, if you have not created a virtual Python environment, can I ask if you can create a virtual environment as shown in the blog: Setting Up Python On Your System. That is if you haven't already. The advantage of a virtual environment is it can be modified and keep the base python environment stable. The virtual environment includes Ta-lib as well, so you don't have to worry about losing support of Ta-lib. The virtual environment should help solve your issues in a simple manner.
Hope this helps.
