Compatibility with Jupyter notebooks about nba_api HOT 4 CLOSED

I am using Python 2.7.15 which is the version that came installed on the corporate laptop I am currently using. Since I don't have admin rights on this machine, I can't update to Python 3 or use pip3.

So I don't have a lot of experience with Jupyter notebooks, but I believe your issue is related to something different. It looks like the version of python that is running the Jupyter notebook does not contain nba_api. Your solution works, because you're taking it from the python version that has it installed.

import sys
print(sys.version)

Will let you know which Python version you are running. You might be able to quickly fix this issue by using pip3 instead of pip so try running the code below in terminal / command prompt and this might fix having to append the site-packages.

pip3 install nba_api

from nba_api.

That makes a lot more sense to me of why you had to go about it this way. Thanks for sharing!
