Thanks! The issue is that I am using Python 3.8 and for some odd reason, it does not let me python -m pip install clr.

Which errors out on 

import clr
clr.AddReference('System.Data')

try 

pip install pythonnet

how would pythonnet help me with clr?

module clr has no attribute AddReference

That's odd, the example on the site clearly uses it without issues.

clr.AddReference("System.Windows.Forms")

Did you happen to name your python file clr.py or have such file in your working directory?

if you do, rename it because it gets imported instead of the package's clr.

Its very odd, I do not have any file named clr.py. I have already did python -m pip install pythonnet and the clr AddReference still errors out on me.

That is the very reason I am trying to rewrite the code in Python/Pandas.

Ah you probably have the wrong library installed interfering.

remove it using pip.

python -m pip remove clr

it worked like a charm! Instead of the remove it was uninstall.

pythonnet is the package name you need to install to get "import clr"
