I just got a new computer and after downloading the newest version of the anaconda distribution I tried to install geopandas and run my script. However, the gpd.read_file command causes an ImportError. I have been trying to reinstall everything but nothing changed. Does anybody know how to figure this out?
import geopandas as gpd
path = "C:/someshapefile.shp"
gpd.read_file(path)
ImportError: The 'read_file' function requires the 'pyogrio' or
'fiona' package, but neither is installed or imports correctly.
Importing fiona resulted in:
DLL load failed while importing ogrext: The specified module could not be found.
Importing pyogrio resulted in:
No module named 'pyogrio'
Just installing fiona manually like this:
conda install -c conda-forge fiona
did unfortunately not work for me.
Thanks a lot! CM
