Hi Jill, I am having a similar problem with installing on windows. I followed the steps in Getting Started on a macbookpro with Houdini17.5.258 and everything worked fine but trying to install on Windows10 (H17.5.258) I got error when i try to import yt in python shell. All modules are installed locally and I use sys.path variable to load in houdini. I already imported other modules that are in the same place to test and all works as expected but when I try to import yt I get this error:
import yt Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\yt\__init__.py", line 25, in <module> from yt.funcs import \ File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\yt\funcs.py", line 47, in <module> from yt.units.yt_array import YTArray, YTQuantity File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\yt\units\__init__.py", line 1, in <module> from yt.units import unit_symbols File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\yt\units\unit_symbols.py", line 14, in <module

As I am no expert on python I am having difficulty resolving this. After a long search this was the only place I found someone with a problem similar to mine. You already tested the installation on windows, could you give me a hand on it? Thanks Jera
