xlwings(0.7.0) importing UDF error

Question

Hello,

My problem is that when i try to import an UDF in Ecxel 2013 I receive the error message can be seen on the picture. I have installed xlwings and it works except the UDF importing. Note that i used "xlwings quickstart myproject" so there is no problem with the file names and i also used the sample function so that should be fine as well

Thank you in advance for your help!

I currently don't understand why you get that error, but I should be able to tell you how you can work around it for now:

Open the file udfs.py in the xlwings package and remove the last argument on line 36, i.e. remove , ArgumentDescriptions=argdocs.

The intended functionality of that line (showing function argument description) is currently broken anyway (see here) so hopefully this will be resolved in a future version.

It removed the error message but the imported function does not work. It throws a compile error: Ambiguous name detected: Py – elwindly Mar 26 '16 at 08:38
Hello, It is working now! It seems that all i had to do is to upgrade py(from 1.4.26 to 1.4.31) and install Ipython – elwindly Mar 29 '16 at 16:31
@user3617153 is it working now with this fix or would it also work without the fix? – Felix Zumstein Mar 29 '16 at 20:34
It only works with the fix. I got the original error message without it. – elwindly Mar 31 '16 at 07:27
