Environment variables error in Windows about aacgmv2 HOT 7 CLOSED

Huh. This is very confusing. I agree that the compilation steps you made shouldn't be an issue. Short term we can put a note in the docs about this being a potential issue and how to solve it. I will try to think of another way to track down what's going on with the environment variables.

Thanks! I will first check and see if I can reproduce this on my mac. That should help us see if it's OS specific or due to a change in the way the environment variables are set or accessed.

Ok, can verify that I cannot reproduce this bug in OS X Sierra, python 3.7.9. I will poke around the internet and see if I can see why the environment variables aren't being set in your version of windows. It is working on AppVeyor with Visual Studio 2019.

Quick question, what happens if you try each of these (in order)?

import aacgmv2
import os

os.getenv('IGRF_COEFFS')

If it's unknown on the system, it should return None.

os.environ['IGRF_COEFFS'] = 'desired path'
os.environ['AACGM_v2_DAT_PREFIX'] = 'desired path here'

print(os.getenv('IGRF_COEFFS'), os.getenv('AACGM_v2_DAT_PREFIX'))

If that works, what happens if you try that before importing aacgmv2 and then try your test code? It would basically be doing what init does manually. I am wondering if it's a problem with the os module interface. The docs claim it should work on Windows, so I am curious to see what your system does.

Side note: probably unrelated, in order to get it to compile I had to replace msvcr140 in anaconda3\envs\aacgm\Lib\distutils\cygwinccompiler.py with vcruntime140
