Importing yfinance does not let me print anything

[knotty forge]

I was working on a stock screener and I took a break and later my code wasn't printing anything anymore. I tried it out on a smaller scale.
Doing this:

import yfinance as yf

print(2)

Will not print anything, but getting rid of that import or using a different one instead will work. Anyone know what the issue is here?

Is it installed? (pip install yfinance)

If so, is it installed in the correct virtual environment

[knotty forge]

yep I have it all installed under miniconda

[pine schooner]

how are you running your script?

[knotty forge]

just running it on vscode

I think that it is just making it stop the program

[pine schooner]

I think your VS may not be using the same conda environment as the terminal you installed in

maybe try doing:

1. conda env list
2. find the environment for your project
3. activate the environment (conda activate envname)
4. conda list to see if package is installed

I only have one environemtn for python on my laptop

Ill still try

yeah I still have everything

conda base

if im not using any environemnt wouldn't that not let me run any code at all?

[pine schooner]

I don't really use conda, but I'm guessing you're running python without using the installed libraries attached to the conda environment

[knotty forge]

why would my other libraries work then, using pandas or datetime has no effect on it

[pine schooner]

hmm not sure, if that is the case then it may be an issue with yfinance and the version of python you're on.

[knotty forge]

maybe

i tried it on google colab and it seems to be working

but it is the same version of yfinance at least

didn't check python

[pine schooner]

maybe try installing a new package and importing it to confirm that yfinance is the problem?

Colorama is a small package u can try to install

3.10.12 (main, Nov 20 2023, 15:14:05) [GCC 11.4.0] (Colab version)
3.11.6 | packaged by conda-forge | (main, Oct 3 2023, 10:29:11) [MSC v.1935 64 bit (AMD64)] (my version)

@pine schooner do i have to reinstall all my libraries if I redownload python?

[pine schooner]

not sure, but it shouldnt be too long. you can save the list into a requirements.txt beforehadn to be safe

with pip its pip freeze > requirements.txt

then pip install -r requirements.txt something like that

ill search up the conda equivalent using chatgpt
