Trouble Installing / Running - python

I installed openmdao via the documentation here (windows 10 plus anaconda): http://openmdao.org/twodocs/versions/latest/getting_started/getting_started.html
If I actually use the [all] flag it seems that pip tries to download every version of the packages so I just went with pip install openmdao
When I try to run the sample from the above link I get this error:
AttributeError: 'Problem' object has no attribute 'model'
I tried re-running in spyder with the same error then tried the first few lines just in the terminal to verify no model attribute existed.
I tried to skip further down into the code with terminal and got some more errors:
prob.driver=om.ScipyOptimizeDriver()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<ipython-input-6-8ea598efdab2>", line 1, in <module>
prob.driver=om.ScipyOptimizeDriver()
AttributeError: module 'openmdao.api' has no attribute 'ScipyOptimizeDriver'
I assumed that maybe there is a disconnect with the different versions floating around with openmdao so I then installed the latest non-dev version and tried to run a few included files in that master folder. All the examples I ran had the same error though:
runfile('C:/Users/Vicconius/Anaconda3/OpenMDAO1-master/examples/beam_tutorial.py', wdir='C:/Users/Vicconius/Anaconda3/OpenMDAO1-master/examples')

Any ideas? THANK YOU!!

I can imagine two scenarios:
you happened to create an openmdao folder in your current local directory. You're opening the interpreter or otherwise running python scripts in that same directory. So when you try import openmdao it picks the local folder first --- instead of the installed package. If thats the case, either cd to a different directory or rename/remove that folder.
Something has gone wrong with your install. You somehow have multiple conflicting versions sitting around.
To test, first uninstall with pip:
pip uninstall OpenMDAO.
Then open an interpreter and try
import openmdao
If that somehow works, after you just uninstalled it, that confirms that you somehow have multiple installs.
you need to manually clean up your environment.
inside the interpreter, openmdao.__file__ should tell you where this wonky second install is hiding. You can go delete it manually, and then repeat this import test till you get an ImportError. At that point you know you have found all the rouge installs and you can safely retry a new pip install.

Numpy library functions give an attribute error

I wanted to use OpenCV library for my project (in python) so I made a virtual environment in which I installed said library (numpy was automatically installed with it). It worked at first, but when I tried to run a separate python file in the same venv it just redirected it into the numpy library where it showed attribute error in one of its functions. After that, the first file didn't work either.
Error looks like this (the script was run from a command prompt inside VS code):
(env) C:\Users\Python\Small projects>python graph_maker.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

numbers.Integral.register(integer)
AttributeError: module 'numbers' has no attribute 'Integral'
Besides that I also got a message that a power shell file (which is inside the virtual environment) can't be run because of restrictions:
& : File C:\Users\Python\Small projects\env\Scripts\Activate.ps1
cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. For more information, see about_Execution_Policies at

I tried running the code inside that terminal and the second error didn't show up anymore, but the first one stayed the same.
I also tried to update pip and reinstall the libraries and when that didn't work I made a new virtual environment, but the error persisted.
Working with libraries and virtual environments is all still new to me so I probably messed up the setup.
Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help me with this problem.

Error processing line 1 of distutils-precedence.pth (no module named '_distutils_hack')

I'm on Windows 10 and working in a git-bash terminal with anaconda environment. When I open a new terminal, I'm immediately presented with:
Error processing line 1 of C:\Users\e360769\AppData\Local\miniforge3\lib\site-packages\distutils-precedence.pth:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\e360769\AppData\Local\miniforge3\lib\site.py", line 169, in addpackage
exec(line)
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_distutils_hack'
Remainder of file ignored
This same error comes up any time I run "pip" or "python" on the command line. The command still executes correctly, but only after displaying that error. Note that this started after installing a collection of packages needed for a project I'm working with, and after investigating I found some people attributed this to the setuptools package (I have v41.2.0), but even when I uninstall it, the issue persists. Also note that this is the contents of my distutils-precedence.pth file:
import os; var = 'SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS'; enabled = os.environ.get(var, 'local') == 'local'; enabled and __import__('_distutils_hack').add_shim();
I'm not sure this is actively (for now) causing any issues with executing my python scripts, etc., but I'd like to know what's going on and how to fix this. Would appreciate any help!

Syntax Error When Trying to Open Downloaded Django Application

I am trying to work on a Django application that I downloaded from bitbucket which uses Python2-based code. Previously, Python 3.6 and Django 2.0 was on my system, so I downgraded to Python 2.7 and Django 1.11 to try to get it to work.
When I go to the project directory and type in "python manage.py runserver," I get a syntax error (this is a shortened version of it, hence the dots):

If you have a solution to this problem, please let me know.
As said by #emi, you want to use virtualenv. It's a great tool that allows you to create an isolated virtual environment for each Python project. Each virtual environment can have its own version of every dependency.
On Windows, I recommend using it alongside virtualenvwrapper, witch is is just a very thin wrapper with some higher level commands.
It seems your Python installation is broken so uninstall every version of Python you have, reinstall Python 2 and follow along creating a virtualenv for your project (and for every new one you start). If you need you can install Python 3 in the future as well without messing with you previous envs.

Is it possible to use the python3 bindings for VirtualBox?

I am trying to use the python 3 bindings to VirtualBox but there appears to be broken dependencies. It seems odd to me that this hasn't been fixed over the ~4 years that people have been having this issue. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious. It's been known to happen.
I have installed the virtualbox host modules, sdk, and extensions through my OS's pacakage manager. Then, through pip:
pip install pyvbox
The imports work:
from virtualbox import VirtualBox, Session, Manager, WebServiceManager
But then any attempt to instantiate anything results in an exception complaining about a missing vboxapi.
box = VirtualBox()
Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/virtualbox/library_ext/vbox.py", line 22, in __init__

module = self._system_import(name, *args, **kwargs)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vboxapi'
There is a vboxapi on PyPi, but it won't install as there is no code associated with it, nor any useful information on the PyPi page:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/vboxapi
Here are a couple links to the valiant efforts of braver souls than I. It is not immediately clear to me which is the correct solution or if either are still relevant, given that they are from 3 and 4 years ago, respectively.
https://github.com/GreatFruitOmsk/vboxapi-py3
https://github.com/jbuergel/vboxapi-py3
Also from 3 years ago, word of a vboxapi.diff and intergration into vboxapi:
https://www.virtualbox.org/pipermail/vbox-dev/2014-April/012231.html
I'm the current maintainer of the pyvbox package.
The VirtualBox SDK already supports Python 3, I use Python 3.5 to develop the library. I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of the SDK (which at the time of writing this is 5.1.22).
You can find the SDK on the VirtualBox downloads page. Unzip the archive and run the vboxapisetup.py file using your system Python with the following command:
python vboxapisetup.py install
You don't need to install this in any virtualenv, as pyvbox will search your system libraries in addition to virtualenv installations for better ease of use.
If you have problems using the pyvbox package after running these steps, please open an issue and include as much information as possible including the steps you took, OS, where your system Python is located, which version of VirtualBox & SDK you're using, and I'll help you as best I can.
Yes you can, it is possible, very tricky to setup but it work fine for me now (Ubuntu 18.04 / python3.6 / virtualbox 6.0) .
The error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vboxapi'
mean that python3 does not find vboxapi module, now there is two methods to "force-install" the vboxapi package to python3:
First Method [easy]: Assuming pyvbox is already installed and work fine with python2.7, in that case you can simply copy the package from python2.7 dist-packages to python3 dist-package with:
sudo cp -r /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/vboxapi /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages
Second method [more tricky]: Go to VirtualBox, then download the last Software Developer Kit (SDK), actually the 6.0.4
Unzip the archive and run the vboxapisetup.py file using Python3 with the following command:
sudo python3 vboxapisetup.py install
You will get this issue:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "vboxapisetup.py", line 90, in <module>
main(sys.argv)
File "vboxapisetup.py", line 63, in main
raise Exception("No VBOX_INSTALL_PATH defined, exiting")
Exception: No VBOX_INSTALL_PATH defined, exiting
You may directly edit the current file vboxapisetup.py and replace line 57, from vboxDest = os.environ.get("VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH", None) to vboxDest = "/usr/lib/virtualbox"
Then run agin:
sudo python3 vboxapisetup.py install
And now you will get something like that:
running install
running build
running build_py
copying vboxapi/__init__.py -> build/lib/vboxapi
running install_lib
creating /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/vboxapi
copying build/lib/vboxapi/__init__.py -> /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/vboxapi
copying build/lib/vboxapi/VirtualBox_constants.py -> /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/vboxapi
byte-compiling /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/vboxapi/__init__.py to __init__.cpython-36.pyc
byte-compiling /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/vboxapi/VirtualBox_constants.py to VirtualBox_constants.cpython-36.pyc
running install_egg_info
Removing /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/vboxapi-1.0.egg-info
Writing /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/vboxapi-1.0.egg-info
which mean that we are ok with vboxapi package installation !
Now, let's try again to load virtualbox() inside python3:
from virtualbox import VirtualBox, Session, Manager, WebServiceManager
box = VirtualBox()
this probably will raise this new issue:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "virtualbox_python3_test.py", line XX, in <module>
vbox = virtualbox.VirtualBox()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/virtualbox/library_ext/vbox.py", line 22, in __init__
manager = virtualbox.Manager()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/virtualbox/__init__.py", line 143, in __init__
self.manager = vboxapi.VirtualBoxManager(mtype, mparams)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/vboxapi/__init__.py", line 989, in __init__
self.platform = PlatformXPCOM(dPlatformParams)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/vboxapi/__init__.py", line 750, in __init__
import xpcom.vboxxpcom
File "/usr/lib/virtualbox/sdk/bindings/xpcom/python/xpcom/vboxxpcom.py", line 78, in <module>
raise Exception('Cannot find VBoxPython module (tried: %s)' % (', '.join(_asVBoxPythons),))
Exception: Cannot find VBoxPython module (tried: VBoxPython3_6m, VBoxPython3m, VBoxPython)
If you dig you will find a lot of questions (question 1,question 2,question 3, question 4 etc...) relative to this issue on the web ...
But according to my dig & research, if you are lucky (and have a Virtualbox built with python3 native support) you can try:
cd /usr/lib/virtualbox/
sudo cp VBoxPython3_5m.so VBoxPython3_6m.so
But if you got the following error:
cp: cannot stat 'VBoxPython3_5m.so': No such file or directory
It mean that you don't have native python3 support in Virtualbox...
This could be solved like this:
Go here and download the python3-virtualbox-5.2.16 binary package (we don't care about the VirtualBox version...)
Now open python3-virtualbox-5.2.16-lp150.4.11.1.x86_64.rpm archive, browse it to /./usr/lib/virtualbox/, then extract the file VBoxPython3_6m.so, then drop this file in your current working directory, after that from this directory you have to do:
sudo cp VBoxPython3_6m.so /usr/lib/virtualbox/
And now, you can use python3 binding for virtualbox !

Ipython installation on 3.3 x64 errors

I don't have experience in downloading libraries, so any help is appreciated. I've got a fresh install of Python3.3 and am trying to get IPython for 64bit Windows 7. The IPython .exe installer ran fine and completed normally, but I can't access the program. I looked through their documentation, and tried the commands there, but
$ python setup.py install
returns invalid syntax, highlighting "setup". I thought the fix might be in the distribute library mentioned on the page, so I went to go try and get that first. However, using the script from distribute's install page revealed it's own errors, namely
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python33\distribute_setup.py", line 541, in <module>
sys.exit(main())
File "C:\Python33\distribute_setup.py", line 537, in main
tarball = download_setuptools(download_base=options.download_base)
File "C:\Python33\distribute_setup.py", line 200, in download_setuptools
log.warn("Downloading %s", url)

self._log(WARN, msg, args)
File "C:\Python33\lib\distutils\log.py", line 30, in _log
if stream.errors == 'strict':
AttributeError: errors
I've been at it for a couple hours now, and I'm fresh out of ideas. What next?
It looks like you ran into Python bug 12967. You need to run distribute_setup.py outside of IDLE (i.e. in a command prompt).
