What is the output of this?
ENV["PYCALL_DEBUG_BUILD"] = "yes"
using Pkg
Pkg.build("PyCall")
print(read(joinpath(dirname(dirname(Base.find_package("PyCall"))), "deps", "build.log"), String))
Came across pretty much the same issue. Try rebuild. If doesn’t work, rm and gc before re-add the package.
There was a bug in the exception message (https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl/commit/8c43f1badc3711839812b10bd5113345a8032e3e). However, the underlying problem (once you checkout PyCall master) will still be that it is failing to find libpython. The PYCALL_DEBUG_BUILD that @tkf suggested should output more information.
What is versioninfo(verbose=true)?
Hello, I am having similar issues I am trying to use a version of python installed in a non default location on a linux system via setting of ENV(“PYTHON”).

Does julia require any special version of python?
The very same issue happens with python/3.6.1 is there a way I can set libpath_lib?
Thanks!
It looks like it is looking for python 2.7 libraries. Are you sure you set ENV["PYTHON"] to the python version you want? Are you sure that libpython is installed as a shared library? If so, where is it installed?
Right you are!!! I was trying to link against a python not built with shared libraries! Thanks a million!
Hi, its my first time using Julia and I want to set ENV[“PYTHON”]=“pythoncommand”, but I dont know where I have ti set this. Can you guide me?
Your error message (“could not spawn python.exe”) is completely different from the ones earlier in the thread, so it is not the “same problem”. Not all installation problems are equivalent, and posting unrelated issues on an old thread is not helpful.
It looks like you are encountering this issue that arises with JuliaPro on Windows. See this workaround.

Thank you! It’s helpful, i was mistaken for mixing up the problem. Thank you again!
