Error with "from ayx import Alteryx"

[tsnchan]

Hi 

I have recently upgraded Alteryx to 2024.2.1.73 Patch 2. After I have done so, I could not use the "Python" tool under "Developer". Specifically, I can run without problem for the following script

"from ayx import Package"

However, when I run "from ayx import Alteryx", it gives me the following error. Can you help to give me some idea how to resolve this? thanks

You could try it through AI to debug your code better.

Thanks Calvin.

I tried to run "pip show numpy" in the terminal. I got the following error:

pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Seems like I need to go to the right path. Do you know which path I should go to?

Hi @tsnchan ,

In addition to @caltang , when you install packages on Python Tool, please make sure to run Desinger as Administrator.

... or you may try the workaround as discussed in the page Python Packages in Alteryx: No Admin, No Problem (Thank you @Felipe_Ribeir0 !)

[tsnchan]

Thanks. Does it mean I have to install the "Admin" version of the installation package? Currently I installed the non-admin version

[apathetichell · Accepted solution]

No - just run Alteyrx as admin (right click when launching - run as admin). This gives it admin persmissions to manage/install python packages.
