The qINTERCONNECT modules are installed into the Lumerical installation. You will have to use the Python that is bundled with Lumerical. Also the Lumerical Python API install path should be in the PYTHONPATH not in the PATH. See below: 

PATH=C:\Program Files\Lumerical\v242\bin;C:\Program Files\Lumerical\v242\Python
PYTHONPATH=C:\Program Files\Lumerical\v242\api\python

e.g. Run the qINTERCONNECT script using our bundled Python, 

"C:\Program Files\Lumerical\v242\Python\python.exe"  NLS_ideal.py

I will check with the team which modules needs to be installed or used when you are running your own Python installation.
