in reply to Inline::Python for windows 10

Don't know if this will work for you, but I had luck with the following:

  1. Setup
    • Windows 10 64-bit
    • Strawberry Perl 5.30 64-bit
    • Anaconda with Python 3.7 64-bit
  2. Add Anaconda to System (not User) Path
    • PATH\TO\ANACONDA
    • PATH\TO\ANACONDA\Library\mingw-w64\bin
    • PATH\TO\ANACONDA\Library\usr\bin
    • PATH\TO\ANACONDA\Library\bin
    • PATH\TO\ANACONDA\Scripts
    • PATH\TO\ANACONDA\bin
    • PATH\TO\ANACONDA\condabin
  3. Add System (not User) Environment Variable PYTHONHOME=PATH\TO\ANACONDA
  4. Run cpanm -n --interactive Inline::Python
    • The Makefile.PL seems to have issues finding proper Python info in standard install, so need to do it interactively
    • Also want to avoid testing since that relies on Proc::ProcessTable, which isn't available for Windows
    • For the python executable path, enter PATH\TO\ANACONDA\python.exe
    • For the extra libraries, select default (default = None)
    • For the python library, enter PATH\TO\ANACONDA\libs\python37.lib (will change depending on Python version you are using)
    • For the python include, enter PATH\TO\ANACONDA\include
  5. Open \PATH\TO\STRAWBERRY_PERL\perl\site\lib\Inline.pm
    • Windows seems to have write permission issues, so we fix that here
    • Find the line with "if ($bin = $FindBin::Bin and"
    • Replace it with the following lines:
$bin = $FindBin::Bin; chmod 0755, $bin; chmod 0755, $cwd; if (defined $bin and $bin and

I haven't had time to check this out with other versions or distributions of Perl/Python, but hopefully this will at least give a starting point. Good luck!
