sorry to hear that it is still not running. I still think you would have to make sure you have a ‘clean’ Anaconda managed Python installation. You could try:
- reinstall a py36_knime environment via the Anaconda navigator like I showed in the screenshots above
- update the py36_knime environment explicitly using the .yml file from the official installation guide *1) (https://docs.knime.com/2018-12/python_installation_guide/index.html)
- always test the script “PythonKernelTester.py” mentioned above
- maybe install Spyder in the py36_knime environment and try a few small commands to see if the Python environment does work at all
- try to activate the py36_knime environment via Anaconda Navigator and see if that makes any difference
- I am not sure about the .bat file if that is necessary and working, try both. .bat file and Python.exe directly
- try installing additional packages strictly via Anaconda
I fear you have to do some trial and error to come up with a solution that does work.
*1)
source activate py36_knime
conda env update -f=/Users/m_lauber/Downloads/py36_knime.yml
