Re: Python Integration problem - Eviews 11 Enterprise Edition

To simplify using Anaconda Python environments with EViews 12 without having to manually set PATH values, we made a slight change to our Python interface. This means you should be able to do the following:

1. Launch Anaconda Prompt.
2. Switch to your specific conda environment (using CONDA ACTIVATE <ENVNAME>)
3. Now launch EViews 12 directly from the prompt by typing in the full path to our EXE (e.g. "C:\Program Files\EViews 12\EViews12_x64.exe"). This will make sure EViews 12 is running with the same PATH setting as your conda environment.
4. In EViews, make sure the Python Home Path (in Options/General Options/External program interface) is set to the same Python environment folder that your Anaconda environment is running from (e.g. C:\Users\<username>\Anaconda3\envs\<envname>)
5. Call XOPEN(p).

You should now be able to access all the same libraries (e.g. Numpy & Pandas) as you would if you ran Python directly within the Anaconda Prompt.

These changes will be in the next EViews 12 patch.
