Running python in v 21

[Florio Arguillas]

Hi everyone,

 

I used to be able to successfully run this test code in SPSS, but now it looks like the plug-in is not working or nowhere to be found.

Where can we locate (or how do we install) the plug-in for version 21?

 

Thanks for you guidance.

 

Best regards,

 

Florio

 

 

BEGIN PROGRAM.

import random

NTRIALS = 10000

NPEOPLE = 30

matches = 0

for trial in range(NTRIALS):

taken = {}

for person in range(NPEOPLE):

day = random.randint(0, 365)

if day in taken:

matches += 1

taken[day] = 1

print "The fraction of trials that have matching birthdays is", float(matches)/NTRIALS

n = 2 + 2

print n

END PROGRAM.

 

Error # 6890.  Command name: BEGIN PROGRAM

Configuration file spssdxcfg.ini is invalid.

Execution of this command stops.

Configration file spssdxcfg.ini is invalid because the LIB_NAME is NULL.

The Python plugin/Essentials is now included on the distribution media and as a download from the same site as the Statistics download itself, but it is still a separate install.
