Possible causes:

• The latest Windows versions are not fully supported to some python versions.

• SDK is not optimized to the latest python versions.

Create a python virtual environment and install the Cognite python SDK in it.

Steps to create a python virtual environment:

• Open a terminal and create a directory and navigate to it.

C:\Users\mithila>mkdir pythonvm

C:\Users\mithila>cd pythonvm

• Install the virtualenv package

pip install virtualenv
