[shanks847]

Bug report checklis

• Searched the issues page for similar reports

• Read the relevant sections of the documentation

• Browse the tutorials and tests for usefull code snippets and examples of use

• Reproduced the issue after updating with pip install --upgrade pandapower (or git pull)

• Tried basic troubleshooting (if a bug/error) like restarting the interpreter and checking the pythonpath

Reproducible Example

import pandapower as pp
import numba #just to see if this would help
net = pp.create_empty_network()
b1 = pp.create_bus(net, vn_kv=20.)
b2 = pp.create_bus(net, vn_kv=20.)
pp.create_line(net, from_bus=b1, to_bus=b2, length_km=2.5, std_type="NAYY 4x50 SE")
pp.create_ext_grid(net, bus=b1)
pp.create_load(net, bus=b2, p_mw=1.)

pp.runpp(net)

print(net.res_bus.vm_pu)
print(net.res_line.loading_percent)

Issue Description and Traceback

When running, it states, numba cannot be imported and numba functions are disabled. I tried using a different virtual environment with conda and also using pyhthon -m pip install [pkg name] to install pandapower and numba. I'm still getting the error. I saw there has been previous issues in 2017 with this, and I would like to know if the issue has been resolved or if there is a possible fix.

Expected Behavior

I would like for pandapower to access my installed version of Numba and use it for computation.

Hi @shanks847 ,

what if you install pandapower from the develop branch?

pip install git+https://github.com/e2nIEE/pandapower.git@develop

[shanks847]

That works, thank you
