Hello guys, In banks, fintech and other financial companies, governmental organizations, people still "use" windows 7 as they have no choice of os. Unfortunately they often don't have opportunity to install C/C++ compiler, visual studio as well. They cannot build mxnet, install specific C/ C++ libraries. So, their only rescue is to "conda install mxnet" if conda package contains all C/C++ dependencies or use Wheel files from this repository: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
Yes, eventually their work / code is moved into dev / qa / prod Linux clusters but they have to "play" on their local machines first. In case of MXNet is "installable" but not "importable": conda installation of this package https://anaconda.org/anaconda/mxnet/1.2.1/download/win-64/mxnet-1.2.1-h8cc8929_0.tar.bz2 is successful but import fails. Yours sincerely, Timur
