Matplotlib import fails in Python Nodes

Dear all,

I am facing the same problem like in Error with Python View since 4.0.1 - #2 by MarcelW on a KNIME SERVER Medium (Windows Server 2016) and Anaconda 3

To simplify reporting I created a Anaconda environment (“python_plotting”) that is only containing the following packages:

(D:\data\anaconda-envs\python_plotting) C:\Users_knime>conda list
packages in environment at D:\data\anaconda-envs\python_plotting:

importing pyplot matplotlib in terms fails in the Python Scripting Nodes, but not in the console with > > activated “python_plotting” environment:

from matplotlib import afm, cbook, ft2font, rcParams, get_cachedir
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

As I read the import of ft2font may cause these errors:

from matplotlib import ft2font
–>
DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

I already used matplotlib 3.03 as a stable version on Python 3.6.10

As I mentioned above the code can be executed in a python shell with the “python_plotting” environment described above, but not in KNIME.

It might be worth to note that the python source node does not use the right environment in the configuration view:

D:\data\anaconda-envs\python_plotting\python.exe” is the python3Command for the respective python node.

> import sys
> print(sys.version)
> print(sys.path)

result in:

It seems strange to me that the sys.path gives back the standard environment, not the selected one (via flow variable, corrsoponding to Need to be able to use many Anaconda environments with KNIME)

KNIME Python Integration is:

KNIME Python Integration 4.1.1.v202003021315 org.knime.features.python2.feature.group KNIME AG, Zurich, Switzerland

Any ideas ?

I would refer you to this entry and the accompanying discussion. With KNIME and Python it seems to be a lot of trial an error and you would have to start over again with a clean installation.

Thank you for the response. A change in terms of creating the .bat file helped to solve the issues with the anaconda environments.
