I am struggling to install and import python libraries into my programs. originally I was using pydev but I kept getting messages like:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\satur\eclipse-workspace\DMD experimental\Main.py", line 11, in <module> from matplotlib import pyplot as plot ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib'
I installed matplotlib using py -m pip install matplotlib which produced a few messages like this.
WARNING: The script f2py.exe is installed in 'C:\Users\satur\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts' which is not on PATH. Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location. WARNING: The scripts fonttools.exe, pyftmerge.exe, pyftsubset.exe and ttx.exe are installed in 'C:\Users\satur\AppData \Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts' which is not on PATH.
I was unsure what this meant so I tried running my program again and got the module not found error again.
being unable to resolve the issue I moved over to spyder because it came with many of the libraries I wanted thus avoiding the issue. however, as soon as I tried to import and install libraries not included with spyder I encountered the module not found error and a similar warning about the path. I added the paths mentioned in the warning to the PATH in spyder now when I run my code get this error message:

I did some looking around and found this
https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/wiki/Working-with-packages-and-environments-in-Spyder#installing-packages-into-the-same-environment-as-spyder
I followed what instructions I understood
import sys; sys.executable
Out[50]: 'C:\\Users\\satur\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Spyder\\Python\\python.exe'
which is different from what I get when I run it in command prompt or in the pydev terminal both of which give me
C:\Users\satur\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe
when i go to C:\Users\satur\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\ I see: 3 versions of idel, 3 versions of pip, and 6 versions of python.
I am deeply confused. I want to install and import libraries into my python programs. I want to be able to run my programs in either (or for that matter any) ide. I seem to be hitting the very similar issues in both. every tutorial I have found online describes the steps to take to do this but not what they are or why I am doing them none of them seem to work and the more times I try to install things the more confused I get.
could someone please explain: how to install and import libraries into a python program. what python is doing when I install things and try to import them. and why both IDEs have similar but different errors.

I am unable to run a python script in the command line, and this script works great in Jupyter Notebook and via Anaconda Prompt. This appears to be an issue importing the ssl module during initialization of another module I am importing (mygeotab).
I have googled the error and done as much as I can to diagnose the most common cause which appears to be PATH issues.
I have already diagnosed the PATH to a point, and have added the location of the /lib/ and python.exe to the environment variables. Also, during testing I began my script with the below to protect myself from path issues and printed the path before and after the 'append', which did not have an impact on the problem.
import sys
print(sys.path)
sys.path.append('C:\\Users\\xxxxxx\\Python Scripts')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\python37.zip')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\DLLs')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\lib')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\win32')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\IPython\\extensions')
sys.path.append('C:\\Users\\xxxxxx\\.ipython')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\Lib')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\Lib\\site-packages')
print(sys.path)
import mygeotab
import pandas as pd
import pyodbc as py
from mygeotab.ext import feed
import sqlalchemy
from time import sleep
However, when I attempt to run the script via the standard command line, I get the below error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "PYTHON_GEOTAB_TRIP_FEED.py", line 33, in <module>
import mygeotab
File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\mygeotab\__init__.py", line 9, in <module>

import ssl
File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\ssl.py", line 98, in <module>
import _ssl # if we can't import it, let the error propagate
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
The mygeotab module and ssl.py are both in the locations designated in the Traceback. '_ssl' is the only reference I can not seem to diagnose. Again, this works fine in both Notebook and Anaconda Prompt.
Any ideas?
Windows Server 2008 R2
Anaconda 2019.07 x64
Python 3.7.3 x64
This was solved for me by installing a separate instance of Python 3.7, moving the PATH references and other pointers. I installed pip, mygeotab, and the other packages into the native Python 3.7 instance. It just appears you can't use the one baked into anaconda the way I thought. Thanks for the help everyone.
I am trying to import the spherical harmonic toolbox (SHTOOLS) in python. I have the files downloaded and unzipped and am using RedHat.
I added the package's path to my python system path and when I go to import the package, I get this error:
>>import pyshtools
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "pyshtools/__init__.py", line 49, in <module>
load_documentation()
File "pyshtools/__init__.py", line 27, in load_documentation
from . import _SHTOOLS
ImportError: cannot import name _SHTOOLS
I can not seem to figure out what the issue is. I checked that the path to this folder was actually added to the system path and it was.
Is this an issue on my end? Or is it possible that I have something downloaded incorrectly? If so, how would I go about fixing this issue?
The SHTOOLS package needs to be built with make first to compile the Fortran libraries. The wiki on Github gives directions on which libraries are required - libblas-dev, liblapack-dev, g++, gfortran, and libfftw3-dev (these are the Ubuntu packages, they may have slightly different names on Redhat). Once these are installed, you need to run make, then sudo make all to install the Fortran and Python components. The Makefile has a lot of good comments in it, I'd recommend reading through it before running make.
I primarily use python for scientific computing and have become quite accustomed to Spyder. I am working on a mutlimedia project and would like to use the Gstreamer bindings for python. The best way I could find to install Gstreamer on Windows was through PyGi.
Now the problem, import gi works fine in both python and Ipython loaded in a command prompt. However, trying to do the same in Spyder results in:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<ipython-input-1-a23efdcdbcd8>", line 1, in <module>
import gi
File "C:\Users\Conner\Anaconda\Lib\site-packages\gi\__init__.py", line 42, in <module>
from . import _gi
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I made sure the interpreter was the same and added C:\Users\Conner\Anaconda\Lib\site-packages to the PYTHONPATH to no avail.
I could develop it outside of Spyder but I am damn stubborn and I don't like when things don't work.
In a round about way, I corrupted my scipy/numpy installation on my IntelX64/Windows 7/Python 2.7 computer. I did this by trying to play around with some neural network libraries (lasagne/theano).
To fix this, I completely removed/reinstalled python 2.7.9. After that, I went to http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ to download and install numpy and scipy with commands:
pip install C:\Users\me\Documents\numpy-1.9.2+mkl-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
This went well and succeeded. (I can import numpy from python)
pip install C:\Users\me\Documents\scipy-0.15.1-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
This appeared to go well too. Except the error occurs in the python console:
>>> from scipy import stats
Gives:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line1, in <module>
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\stats\__init__.py", line 338, in <module>
from .stats import *
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\stats\stats.py", line 184, in <module>
import scipy.special as special
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\special\__init__.py", line 586, in <module>
from ._ufuncs import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I read up on the DLLs required and ran the 'dependency walker' (http://www.dependencywalker.com/) on "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\scipy\special_UFUNCS.PYD" and it seems there are a few DLL files not found.
libifcoremd.dll
libiomp5md.dll
libmmd.dll
msvcr90.dll
dcomp.dll
ieshims.dll
and a 6 files that look like 'api-ms-win-....dll'
From my looking around, people have solved this by reinstalling numpy, then scipy. I have tried that and the same thing occurs.
Has anyone else run into this issue and solved it?
I fixed this by a complete removal of everything (python and packages) and then installing everything again.
Just reinstalling the offending packages did not work. Neither did system restore. I will not accept this answer, because removing/installing is a work around to the real problem. I just want to post this to help anyone else in this position.
Simply install 'NumPy-1.9+MKL' from this page, it should work fine.
Acknowledgement: Another post here :)
I would like to have an interface between Python and sqlite. Both are installed on the machine. I had an old version of Python (2.4.3). So, pysqlite was not included by default. First, I tried to solve this problem by installing pysqlite but I did not succeed in this direction. My second attempt to solve the problem was to install a new version of Python. I do not have the root permissions on the machine. So, I installed it locally. The new version of Python is (2.6.2). As far as I know this version should contain pysqlite by default (and now it is called "sqlite3", not "pysqlite2", as before).
However, if I type:
from sqlite3 import *
I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/verrtex/opt/lib/python2.6/sqlite3/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
from dbapi2 import *
File "/home/verrtex/opt/lib/python2.6/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 27, in <module>
from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: No module named _sqlite3
It has to be noted, that the above error message is different from those which I get if I type "from blablabla import *":
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ImportError: No module named blablabla
So, python see something related with pysqlite but still has some problems. Can anybody help me, pleas, with that issue?
P.S.
I use CentOS release 5.3 (Final).
On Windows, _sqlite3.pyd resides in C:\Python26\DLLs. On *nix, it should be under a path similar to /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_sqlite3.so. Chances are that either you are missing that shared library or your PYTHONPATH is set up incorrectly.
Since you said you did not install as a superuser, it's probably a malformed path; you can manually have Python search a path for _sqlite3.so by doing
import sys
sys.path.append("/path/to/my/libs")
but the preferred approach would probably be to change PYTHONPATH in your .bashrc or other login file.
You have a "slite3.py" (actually its equivalent for a package, sqlite3/__init__.py, so import sqlite3 per se is fine, BUT that module in turns tries to import _sqlite3 and fails, so it's not finding _sqlite3.so. It should be in python2.6/lib-dynload under your local Python root, AND ld should be instructed that it has permission to load dynamic libraries from that directory as well (typically by setting appropriate environment variables e.g. in your .bashrc). Do you have that lib-dynload directory? What's in it? What environment variables do you have which contain the string LD (uppercase), i.e. env|grep LD at your shell prompt?
