STATA/Python Integration

[jprender]

Hello,

I'm running Spyder Python 3.3.6 from Stata/IC 16.1 for Mac (64-bit Intel):

Output:
. python query
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Python Settings
      set python_exec      /users/jprenderg/opt/anaconda3/bin/python
      set python_userpath  

    Python system information
      initialized          yes
      version              3.7.4
      architecture         64-bit
      library path         /Users/jprenderg/opt/anaconda3/lib/libpython3.7m.dylib

I am able to import SCIPY ok. But can't import the "Stats" sub-package:

1	>>> from scipy import stats

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

Has anyone experienced this and solved the problem?

Note: "from scipy import stats" works fine from within Spyder. It seems to be a Stata issue.
