Failed to parse python node Extension - file name or extension is too long

[hagay_finiti]

Hello,
I get this error while I’m trying to install python extension that I created:

import error: “DLL load failed while importing _middle_term_computer: the filename or extension is too long”

I already installed extension with longer name under the same folder that didn’t gave me this error.
one thing is that the user name that mention in the error description (in the path) was change 2 weeks ago and might be the cause to all of this.
any idea how to fix this?

@hagay_finiti could it be this problem. There is a workaround suggested.

Windows Long Path Error With Pure-Python Extension

Hi Marco @DerMaxdorfer, I am sorry for the troubles! Yes, we are aware of this unfortunate situation, see our troubleshoot section in the Python extension guide: KNIME Python Integration Guide Let’s make @nemad aware of this, I am also not sure whether we can make the folder/file names within KAP shorter from our side. Best regards Steffen

Hi , and thank you for your replay @mlauber71,
I did tried to shorter the name and I cant control the KAP installation path.
I will ask about changing max path length in the registry with our IT.

Thanks again
