If you installed Origin with All users accessible and later run Origin and installed a Python package (e.g. numpy) under Windows user account A, this package should be used for all Windows user accounts.

For those upgraded from Origin 2023b/2024/2024b to Origin 2025 or later,

If you failed to run the installed Python packages by another user account, and received error message like following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\ProgramData\OriginLab\101b\PyPackage\Py3\originpro\__init__.py", line 9, in <module>
    from .config import *
  File "C:\ProgramData\OriginLab\101b\PyPackage\Py3\originpro\config.py", line 61, in <module>
    np.float64: po.DF_DOUBLE,
    ^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'float64'

To fix this problem:

1. Start Origin. Select menu Window: Command Window, and run the following Labtalk script in the Command Window:

   pip freeze > d:\packages.txt;  //you can change the path as desired

2. Find and open the created packages.txt with any text editor (e.g. Notepad). Remove 3 lines containing originpro, jedi, and parso. Re-save the file.
3. Run following Labtalk script to remove all installed python packages.

   pip uninstall *;

4. Run following Labtalk script to re-install all packages.

   pip install -r d:\packages.txt;

5. Run following Labtalk script to update originpro.

   pip install originpro --upgrade;

6. Once done, restart Origin and try again your python scripts. It should be working fine now.
