Import ldap in python gives gives "DLL load failed" error

I'm using the "import ldap" in a python code. This is on a windows 10 machine.
I installed the python-ldap module
pip3 install python-ldap
Installed the dependencies based on the instructions at Python Can't install packages
Also resolved all the pip deployment issues based on Installing python-ldap in a virtualenv on Windows
I'm now getting the following error when executing the import ldap statement. am I missing something here? Any ideas to resolve it?
thon39\site-packages\ldap\__init__.py", line 34, in <module>
import _ldap
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _ldap: The specified module could not be found.

Visit the unofficial Python binaries page:
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#python-ldap
Download the appropriate WHL package for your system.
For example, if you're using Python 3.8 on an x64 system, download python_ldap‑3.3.1‑cp38‑cp38‑win_amd64.whl
(hint: do NOT download the +sasl version unless you have the Cyrus SASL code running on your system...)
Start the VirtualEnv for your project, if you're using one (C:\Users\youruser\.virtualenv\YourVirtualEnv\Scripts\activate.bat) -- if you're not, skip this step.
Then run pip3 install C:\Path\To\python_ldap_x.x.x-cpXX-cpXX-winXX.whl and this should install the Python DLL (pyd) file for you.

How do I solve the issue "No module name Botan"

I am using windows 8 and python 3.6.1 I've done the following command in my cmd:
pip install cryptoshop
However, when I run the following python code:
from cryptoshop import encryptfile
from cryptoshop import decryptfile
result1 = encryptfile(filename="test", passphrase="mypassphrase", algo="srp")
print(result1)
result2 = decryptfile(filename="test.cryptoshop", passphrase="mypassphrase")
print(result2)
I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Owner/Desktop/test.py", line 1, in
from cryptoshop import encryptfile

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'botan'
Now, I obviously know that you must install botan into python in order to use it. However, this is where I am running into an issue. I've downloaded Botan from this link as instructed:
https://github.com/randombit/botan
And then I've followed these instructions in an attempt to install Botan:
./configure.py [--prefix=/some/directory]
make
make install
However, when I type make into the command line I get an error saying there is no such command. And then when I go to run my above Python code I still get the no module Botan error. So obviously I am doing something run. How can I properly install Botan into my Python 3.6 directories so that I can use cryptoshop.
I've also attempted to do pip install Botan, as that is how I've installed so many other python libraries but that has been unsuccessful as well.

make is a linux command
According to the botan website you can use nmake as a replacement on windows ( http://wiki.c2.com/?UsingNmake ) :
On Windows
You need to have a copy of Python installed, and have both Python and
your chosen compiler in your path. Open a command shell (or the SDK
shell), and run:
$ python configure.py --cc=msvc (or --cc=gcc for MinGW) [--cpu=CPU]
$ nmake
$ botan-test.exe
$ nmake install
Botan supports the nmake replacement Jom which enables you to run
multiple build jobs in parallel.

For completeness, here's how I made it work on a Mac
Assuming you have brew installed.
brew install botan
You may need to install other functionality first:
brew install gmp
brew install mpfr
brew install mpc
Find out where botan got installed with brew info botan.
My location is /usr/local/Cellar/botan/2.6.0
In that folder, you'll find lib/python2.7/site-packages, copy the contents of this folder into your Python's installation site-packages folder.
Note 1: At the time of this writing, only python 2.7 seems to be supported, but I'm using python 3.6 and everything seems to be working.
Note 2: If the file is called botan2.py, you may need to rename it to botan.py in your python's site-packages folder.

Python pip install gives “Command ”python setup.py egg_info“ failed with error code 1”

Edit: Yes I know this question already exists, except my question is a bit different and none of the solutions fixed it.
I do most of my Python stuff when I'm at work and not on my personal machine, but I decided to install it on my personal computer as well. I fresh installed python 3.6.1, and created a virtual environment with virtualenv. Then within the virtualenv I tried to pip install urllib (or any module) and I received the error:
(pdbot) C:\Users\user\Documents\pdbot>pip install urllib
Collecting urllib
Using cached urllib-1.21.1.tar.gz
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-50tn0wlb\urllib\
I read elsewhere that this error had something to do with setuptools not being properly installed. So I ran this to attempt to fix the issue:
easy_install -U setuptools
I ended up receiving an even weirder error next:
(pdbot) C:\Users\zeke\Documents\pdbot>easy_install -U setuptools

This looks like a permissions error, but I ran these both in an administrator command prompt (Windows 10) and got the same result. I am the only user on this computer and I have all admin permissions. Is this virtualenv causing an issue? How do I remedy it?
EDIT: I was able to fix the permissions issue by leveraging the python executable like so:
python -m easy_install -U setuptools
But it didn't fix the python setup.py egg_info issue. I still get this error message when trying to pip install anything:
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-50tn0wlb\urllib\
I have tried both python -m pip install urllib and pip install urllib and neither work.

I had the same problem when trying to install urllib, but after doing a pip search urllib, I discovered that the problem was due to the version of urllib. From the search:
$ pip search urllib
...
> urllib5 (5.0.0) - Just increment the number and create a new lib. Never fix the original one.
At the end, a simple
pip install urllib5
within an elevated shell solved it.

Your problem has to do with permissions. The related/similar tools setup_tools, easy_install, and pip all tend to set a default set of permissions on files and folders they try to create in the package installation folder(s), rather than trying to match access permissions of the location they're installing in.
On Linux systems, where files and folders individually have permissions, this is frequently bypassed with the sudo command. On Windows, the equivalent is to run the installer as an Administrator. Since you're in the console, you have to open a console with Administrator privileges to run the pip command in.
Notable under Windows, the modules installed with pip from an Administrator console are still accessible to all users of the system that have the proper path in the PYTHONPATH system environment variable. Under Linux however, the problem is exacerbated by the fact that the files themselves may not be created with read and execute access for other users and may need to have their permissions manually modified after installation.
WARNING: urllib vs urllib2 vs urllibx
Both other answers claim that the problem is you're not specifying the correct "version" of the module in the call to pip. Neither is correct, as the error clearly indicates an installation folder access permissions violation causing the failure, but they also incorrectly recommended VERY unsafe behavior.
pip install urllib != pip install urllib5 these are two completely different packages.
The documentation for pip (https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#id17) clearly says the way to specify a module version explicitly is pip install 'urllib==5'.
As part of how the package management engine implemented by pip works, running the command pip install urllib will always try to use the latest version of the urllib package, so you shouldn't need to specify the version unless you have some reason that you need a very specific version of the module.

There are two points to make in order to answer your question:
1. You are lucky you did not install that package!
The package you were trying to install was a maliciously created python package that was designed to look like a real package (in this case urllib3). If you had installed it, the package would have operated as normal except it would have sent some basic information about the system on which you installed the package to a URL (you can see more details on this here). You can read more about this fake package at either of the following links:
https://app.threatconnect.com/auth/incident/incident.xhtml?incident=5256822&owner=Common%20Community (you can sign up for a free account to view this one)
http://www.nbu.gov.sk/skcsirt-sa-20170909-pypi/index.html
Sending basic information about your systems to an unknown source isn't the worst thing you could do, but is certainly something you want to avoid when possible.
2. To properly install a package...
Specifically urllib:
To install urllib, you need to specify the version of the package you would like to install. For example, pip install urllib3.
Any package in general:
As #Elisabete Coelho suggested, you can use the pip search <package-name> feature to view the available packages. This is not perfect, however, as it may list malicious libraries like the one you were trying to install. A good guideline is that you should follow the installation instructions in a package's documentation closely to avoid any unforeseen issues. This is just an unfortunate necessity of living in a world where people make pretend python packages.

"ImportError: No module named twilio.rest"

I have installed python 2.7.10 with PATH access and correctly installed twilio. However, when I try to execute a code I get this error message
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\tmslvo\Google Drive\Desktop\send text.py", line 1, in <module>
from twilio.rest import TwilioRestClient
ImportError: No module named twilio.rest
Now I read that a reason might be that python can't find the twilio package so I tried the
which -a python
which -a twilio
commands (in my Windows command prompt) in which case I get
'which' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Does anybody have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you!

Twilio developer evangelist here.
I think your problem will be that somehow when you installed the library, it failed silently(?). A few things to keep in mind:
When installing Python libraries, always make sure you use pip.
Also, check that none of your files within the project are actually called twilio.py as this will conflict with the actual library.
Check that you're using the version of Python you think you're using by running python --version
All that failing, run the installation again, and all going well (without errors), you should be able to test it quickly with the following code.
import twilio
import twilio.rest
try:
client = twilio.rest.TwilioRestClient(account_sid, auth_token)
message = client.messages.create(
body="Hello World",
to="+14159352345",
from_="+14158141829"
)
except twilio.TwilioRestException as e:
print e

try this: sudo pip3 install twilio --upgrade

I had this problem as well.
In my case, I had named my file twilio.py and that is what caused the error.
Renaming the file to send_sms.py ( or any other name of your choice) will resolve the issue!

Close and then relunch all IDLE instances.
This sounds obvious but it worked for me, since the installations of components were successful

I ran into this same issue. I had used easy_install instead of pip to install twilio which was the problem. To fix this I ran pip uninstall twilio and reinstalled using pip.

rename file name other than twilio.py
EX:send_sms.py

A bit late to the party here but I also ran into this issue.
After some trial and error, it looks like it was due to the pip version I was using. I originally used -
pip3 install twilio.
Now I'm unsure of the underlying reason why this did not work, but it seems that pip3 does not encompass all versions of python 3.x? Using
pip3 list and
pip3.8 list
I noticed I had the twilio module for pip3 but not for pip 3.8.
I used the following and was able to solve the issue
pip3.8 install twilio.
I used pip3.8 because that matched the python3.8 version that I am using.

Pycharm user:
Macs (mid 2017) come with python 2.6 and 2.7 installed. PyCharm uses by default 2.6. When you install twilio (Pip install) the module is installed in python version 2.7. So, when you try to run twilio from PyCharm you get
ImportError: No module named twilio.rest
Solution: change the python interpreter in PyCharm. Go to preferences > project interpreter and from the drop menu Project Interpreter choose python 2.7

I think your pip is not configured properly . You may be getting succefuuly installed message but it is not install where it should be. try pip install --user i am sure it will work for you. pip install may work fine only in virtualenvironment without any config.Try pip install --user package name
#iosCurator

I had first installed twilio with the easy_intall tool
I followed the steps below:
Uninstall twilio with the command pip uninstall twillo
Install twilio with the command pip install twilio
Close the python IDLE and relaunch it.

For the windows user,
I have suggested, pip3 install twilio

Follow these steps (on mac):
Shift + Command + P
search: Configure Language Specific Setting
search: Python
add: "code-runner.runInTerminal": true
That's it!

I ran into this issue when using poetry for my dependency management. Poetry doesn't recognise it as an existing package yet, hence it won't run your code unless you try the poetry+pip way.

there will be 2 reasons for this
1.make sure you kept right path for python files in environment location
2.install twilio
commands:
1.pip3 install twilio
(or)
pip install twilio
2.python otpv.py

Fabric and Paramiko

I was trying to install fabric on my CentOS 6.2.
Clones fabric from GitHub, installed it via setup.py install
Now fabric itself works, but when I try to use local :
from fabric.api import local
def say_hi():
local("echo hi!")
I get an error:
$ fab say_hi
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/fab", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2655, in <module>

raise DistributionNotFound(req)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: paramiko>=1.10.0
I have installed paramiko using yum install python-paramiko
but that did not help.
Have been trying to read the code but I am way too 'noob' to get it.
Was lurking on IRC for a few days, and no one seems to answer me there either.
Any ideas how can i fix this ?

I came across this problem and the documentation for Fabric (http://www.fabfile.org/faq.html) supplied the answer for me. In my case, I am using an OSX 10.9 using system Python (2.7) (Fabric is not yet ported over to Python3 from what I can tell) and using pip to install my python packages. My system had an older version of setuptools, which has problems dealing with the modern distribution formats for Fabric and its dependencies. This fixed the issue for me.
$ sudo pip install -U setuptools
No reinstall of Fabric needed.

This looks like a bug in Fabric.
If you look here: https://github.com/fabric/fabric/blob/master/setup.py#L40
Line 40 currently says:
install_requires=['paramiko>=1.10.0'],
But currently in pypi, the latest version of paramiko is 1.9.0, released Nov 06 2012.
You can see bitprophet's commit to update it here, which happened 6 days ago, and appears to be due to mind-altering drugs ( or maybe I'm not searching well):
However, it may be best to install fabric with pip:
pip install fabric

Some possible causes:
Are you using the correct python version? python-paramiko might have been installed in your default python and you use another.
Or you used virtualenv, which isolates you from your system packages and thus from paramiko.
Another option: the installed paramiko is too old. The error you get is DistributionNotFound: paramiko>=1.10.0, so you'll have to check somewhere in centos which one it installed. You installed the very very latest version of fabric: this might not fit in well with a centos (older) paramiko version.

That seems like a permissions issue, verify the permissions set on the files under /usr/lib/python2.X/site-packages/Fabric-1.X.X

I had the same problem. I fixed it by installing the development version of paramiko:
pip install paramiko==dev

sudo pip install -U setuptools
