Problems with Importing ROOT.py

ROOT
1

ROOT Version: 6.14.00
Platform: Windows 10
Compiler: Not Provided

Hi, I recently installed the latest binary from this site and tried to import ROOT.py with Python 3.6 originally but after browsing a bunch of posts it seems to be incompatible. But when I tried with Python 2.7, it ended in a long stacktrace and closed the program. Is there something I’m missing? Do I need to download the source?

Hi,

First of all, if you downloaded the binaries, they were built with Python 2.7, and then, sorry, but PyROOT doesn’t work yet on Windows…

Cheers, Bertrand.
