Python Tool Usage

[trentsheffield]

Hey all,

Just got python installed to use the Python Tool. The Jupyter Notebook still isn't loading, so I am not sure if I need to install some packages to be able to get it to load. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @trentsheffield, the Python tool and environment ships with the product so you should not need to do additional installation afterwards. If the Jupyter notebook is not loading it may require a reinstallation. You might also want to open a support case here: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Support/bd-p/SupportPage

Hi @trentsheffield 

You shouldn't need to install any packages for it to load. 

Normally in these scenarios I have seen that there was either an error in the installation which prevented certain python dependencies from being installed properly, or there is an IT policy on your machine which may be blocking certain processes/files from being leveraged. In any case, it is probably best to email support@alteryx.com so that they can get it logged for you. You may be able to resolve this by reinstalling as well.

If you wanted to add some packages in the future, here is a link to the tools help page: https://help.alteryx.com/20223/designer/python-tool

Great info - thanks for the help. From what I saw it looked like it should just open, but didn't know if I missed something.
