Hello,
i’ve tried to install pyroot today and i have some problems with it. I installed it with root_v5.34.28.win32.vc12.exe and root itself is working. I think I set the PATHS correctly because python finds root.py, but while trying to import something from ROOT this error occurs:
“Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<pyshell#0>”, line 1, in
from ROOT import TCanvas
File “B:\root\root_v5.34.28\bin\ROOT.py”, line 103, in
import libPyROOT as _root
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is no valid win32-application.”
I hope someone can help me.
Greetings
Frank
Hi Frank,
ROOT is built against Python 2.7, and this is most probably the origin of the problem. I just tried the same ROOT binary with Python 2.7.6:
[code]C:\Users\bellenot>python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Nov 10 2013, 19:24:18) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win
32
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.
from ROOT import TCanvas
[/code]
Cheers, Bertrand.
Hello Bertrand,
i installed python 2.7 and pyroot works now. Thank you. How can i use pyroot with python3? I know it’s possible because I worked with pyroot in university with python3 last year.

Hi Frank,
No idea, I never tried ROOT & Python 3 on Windows. You could try to build ROOT from source with Python 3 and see how it goes
Cheers, Bertrand.
