Hi Ranjit,

When I installed pyreadstat 1.2.2 package, Python 3.9.17 doesn't recognize the installed python3-Cython package (see below). I have to install PYPI Cython 0.29.36 instead and pyreadstat 1.2.2 then got installed successfully. During the installation of Cython 9.29.36, Python does find Toolbox's Cython 0.29.24 and uninstalled it (this is strange). Can you please help on this? I prefer using python3-Cython 0.29.24.

Thanks

Mi

Hi

you said 'During the installation of Cython 9.29.36, Python does find Toolbox's Cython 0.29.24 and uninstalled it (this is strange).' . 
So at least Cython 0.29.36 must in your system, right ??

First verify which Cython is installed in your system. 

Remove it if it's not provided from AIX tool box. 

Then install again from toolbox.

I don't see any issue with pyreadstat with Cython provided from AIX Toolbox.

Thanks

Ranjit
