Hello @digesh_gathani, welcome to the community !

Since you’re using Anaconda on Windows, could you try and create a new conda environment with Streamlit inside ? Hopefully it’ll correctly install pyarrow there.

Hi andfanilo,
Thanks for quick reply. as you suggested, I tried to create new environment but no luck.
below same error.

(streamlit_env) D:\Users\DGathani>streamlit hello

Hmmm that’s odd, given the log

it does not look like streamlit is called from your new conda environment.

  • what happens when you run where streamlit and where python in the terminal, with your conda environment activated ?
  • how did you install streamlit in the first place ? pip ?
  • what happens if you force install pyarrow with pip install -U pyarrow (still in your new conda environment) ? Does this at least work ?

Hi andfanilo,
once again thanks for reply.
point -1:
(streamlit_env) D:\Users\DGathani>where streamlit
D:\Users\DGathani\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\Scripts\streamlit.cmd
D:\Users\DGathani\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\Scripts\streamlit.exe

(streamlit_env) D:\Users\DGathani>where python
D:\Users\DGathani\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\envs\streamlit_env\python.exe
D:\Users\DGathani\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\python.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Python37-32\python.exe

Point-2:
Yes, using pip

Point-3:

(streamlit_env) D:\Users\DGathani>pip install -U pyarrow
Requirement already up-to-date: pyarrow in d:\users\dgathani\appdata\roaming\python\python36\site-packages (1.0.0)
Requirement already satisfied, skipping upgrade: numpy>=1.14 in d:\users\dgathani\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\envs\streamlit_env\lib\site-packages (from pyarrow) (1.19.1)

Should I uninstall streamlit and re-install again?

Hmm did you run pip install streamlit inside your newly created streamlit_env too ? Do you see streamlit when you run pip list in your terminal with activated conda environment ?

At least python is correctly detected from your conda environment :wink: it’s the first line of the where python

As a very last resort, maybe check out echo %PATH% to see if there’s a hardcoded path at the beginning to a Streamlit.cmd that is not inside D:\Users\DGathani\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\envs\streamlit_env

Hi andfanilo,

it’s working fine now, I uninstall streamlit from base environment and re-install from new environment, and magic happen.
Thank you for help ;):wink:
