Error installing TA-Lib for Anaconda

Question

I am running Python 3.4.1 Anaconda 2.1.0 on Win7 x64. Cython version is 0.21 and I can confirm it has been installed.

I am trying to install the TA-lib wrapper via the command easy_install TA-lib.

I already have the ta-lib folder in c:\ta-lib.

This is the full print out of what happens:

Answer 1

I have plagued by this for the past few days, and almost immediately after I posted this I figured it out.

I just installed TA_Lib-0.4.8-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

now everything works great.

Hope this helps someone.

Regards,

Sean

Works with winpython 64bit, too. This saved me from more headache then I already had getting nowhere with ta-lib. Thanks! – Jonquil

How do you install these files from the URL? – Bound

Answer 2

Not sure where you got your ta-lib build but I'm guessing you're using the binary from sourceforge in the ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip file. It's 32-bit. You'd need to use a 32-bit python / anaconda to use it.
