running python from within SPSS

[Art Kendall]

I am trying to run python in SPSS syntax.
The purpose is to find out how closely the three sources place hospitals
by taking the distances.

I get this error

I uninstalled python essentials.  Downloaded SPSS_Statistics_PythonEssentials_20001_win64.exe  again. Reinstalled it running it "as administrator".
I am running version 20.0.01.1. 
Might something have been changed because I also have Version 21 installed?

I now get this message.

That error means that things are working!  It got far enough to try to load the extendedTransforms module.  You need to get that from the Community site in the Utilities or Python Modules collection and save it where Python can find it.  site-packages or the extensions subdirectory under Statistics (if you can write there) or, if you have set the SPSS_EXTENSIONS_PATH environment variable, any directory listed there.

V20 and the next one share the same Python installation (though not the actual plugin), so if you need to go back and forth, you will need to edit the spss.pth and SpssClient.pth files to point to the Statistics version you want to use, e.g., spss200.  I keep bat files that just switch these files.  The first version listed in those files is the one that will be used.

I am trying to run python in SPSS syntax.
The purpose is to find out how closely the three sources place hospitals
by taking the distances.

I get this error

Thank you I have it working.  Just one more question.  What is the unit for the output? Kilometers?

That error means that things are working!  It got far enough to try to load the extendedTransforms module.  You need to get that from the Community site in the Utilities or Python Modules collection and save it where Python can find it.  site-packages or the extensions subdirectory under Statistics (if you can write there) or, if you have set the SPSS_EXTENSIONS_PATH environment variable, any directory listed there.

V20 and the next one share the same Python installation (though not the actual plugin), so if you need to go back and forth, you will need to edit the spss.pth and SpssClient.pth files to point to the Statistics version you want to use, e.g., spss200.  I keep bat files that just switch these files.  The first version listed in those files is the one that will be used.

I uninstalled python essentials.  Downloaded SPSS_Statistics_PythonEssentials_20001_win64.exe  again. Reinstalled it running it "as administrator".
I am running version 20.0.01.1.  
Might something have been changed because I also have Version 21 installed?

I now get this message.
