YAJL backend not working in Win/Conda about ijson HOT 3 CLOSED

@JoejynWan thanks for the detailed report.

Sadly I won't be able to replicate your environment, so I'm working solely in your information and on hopefully educated guesses.

How did you install ijson? Was that using cinda itself, or via pip? What I'd basically like to know is whether you got the ijson binary wheel that we publish in PyPI (that should include the yajl2_c backend) or not. When using pip you should have gotten that (we have binary wheels for wib32/64 for python 3.9), but I'm not sure what happens when "cinda installing" ijson (do they provide their own compiled-or-not-actually-conpiled package?). In other words, try installibg via pip as that should give you a compiled package

Regarding ctyoes bit finding your yajl library: I'm not expert on how Windows finds DLLs, even less how cobda organised them. However ijson has an option to point to a yajl DLL directly:

Give that a try and hopefully you'll be able to use the ctypes-and cffi-based backends.

@rtobar Thank you so much for your quick reply.

I had previously installed ijson with conda, and that does seem to be the problem. I uninstalled it and installed ijson with pip (though yajl is still installed with conda since I somehow could not get it to install with pip) and it worked.

Thanks so much again!

@JoejynWan thanks for confirming that it's all good now, I'm happy I could be of assistance.
