Error installing TA-Lib for Anaconda

Question

I am running Python 3.4.1 Anaconda 2.1.0 on Win7 x64. The version of Cython is 0.21, and I can confirm that it is installed.

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

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

This is a complete listing of what is going on:

Answer 1

I suffered from this for the last few days, and almost immediately after I posted it, I realized it.

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

Now everything works fine.

Hope this helps someone.

Not sure where you got your ta-lib assembly, but I assume you are using the binary from sourceforge in the ta-lib-0.4.0-msvc.zip file. This is 32-bit. You will need to use 32-bit python / anaconda to use it.
