WinError 126 Error when connecting to HDFS using hdfs3

Question

I am trying to read a file of a work HDFS location using the following code:

import hdfs3
from hdfs3 import HDFileSystem
hdfs=HDFileSystem(host='host',port='port')
with hdfs.open('FILE') as f:
    model_AOB = f.read()

I am getting the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

      5     model_AOB = f.read()

OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found

I have also tried adding in the argument pars = {"hadoop.security.authentication": "kerberos"} in the HDFileSystem function as I believe the hadoop cluster is kerberized.

Can anyone help with this issue? Apologies for the chunky question, I'm new to python so I didn't want to accidentally leave out something relevant in the error.

Thanks
