TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType - v2

[fridary]

@twopirllc you are closing issues well, so I created a new one with extra code that you asked here #826

---

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
Server: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2695 v4 @ 2.10GHz
Python: 3.11.8 (conda)
pip: 24.1.1
pandas-ta: 0.3.14b0 (tested also on 0.4.19b0)
TA-Lib: 0.4.32

Have you tried the development version? Did it resolve the issue?

$ pip install -U git+https://github.com/twopirllc/pandas-ta.git@development

the same error

How to fix? Removing pandas_ta and installing again did not help.

---

extra code for BBands.py:

import pandas_ta as pta

Hello @fridary,

Have you tried using a virtualenv instead of (mini) Anaconda? Have you updated to the latest version setuptools?

If the latest setuptools does not fix the issue, please goto setuptools and search open/closed issues or make a new one as this particular issue is breaking the package's requirements.

you are closing issues well, so I created a new one with extra code that you asked here

Thanks for the (backhanded) compliment. You could have just reopened it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Kind Regards,
KJ

Hello @fridary,

I assume by no response that the solution provided was sufficient. Thus I will be closing this issue in a few days.

Kind Regards,
KJ
