I am a bit lost. I've just recently started working with python and have been able to use other libraries, that I've imported without any issues.
Install via pip command
Restart Visual Studio Community 2019
I can use the library
Now I wanted to import the docx2pdf library. But using the same 3 steps is not working and I don't know what to do.
from docx2pdf import convert <-- gets the error "unresolved import"
Also:
after installing it via pip I get the following message in addition to the installation being a success:
WARNING: The script docx2pdf.exe is installed in 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\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.
I didn't get this message from other libraries.
I am using windows 10.
Thanks for the help!
In VS Code, when we use the global python environment to install the module, we can use the command "pip show docx2pdf" to check its storage location is: "\users\username\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\ site-packages"
It is recommended that you reinstall the module "docx2pdf" or try to delete the previously installed "docx2pdf" folder and reinstall it.
Run:
I found this script (tutorial) on GitHub (https://github.com/amyoshino/Dash_Tutorial_Series/blob/master/ex4.py) and I am trying to run in my local machine.
Unfortunately I am having and Error
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me to run this script.
Perhaps this is something easy but I am new in coding.
Thank you!
You probably just need to pip install the dash-core-components library!
Take a look at the Dash Installation documentation. It currently recommends running these commands:
pip install dash==0.38.0 # The core dash backend
pip install dash-html-components==0.13.5 # HTML components
pip install dash-core-components==0.43.1 # Supercharged components
pip install dash-table==3.5.0 # Interactive DataTable component (new!)
pip install dash-daq==0.1.0 # DAQ components (newly open-sourced!)
For more info on using pip to install Python packages, see: Installing Packages.
If you have run those commands, and Flask still throws that error, you may be having a path/environment issue, and should provide more info in your question about your Python setup.
Also, just to give you a sense of how to interpret this error message:
It's often easiest to start at the bottom and work your way up.
Here, the bottommost message is a FileNotFound error.
The program is looking for the file in your Python37/lib/site-packages folder. That tells you it's looking for a Python package. That is the directory to which Python packages get installed when you use a tool like pip.
I have recently installed python 2.17.14 to use a package which I installed in the command prompt with:
python -m pip install packageName
However, whenever I try to use it with a script provided by the package authors, I get Import Errors:
ImportError: cannot import X from YX
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, as I am really new to Python. Does anyone have any ideas?
The package is called neurodesign and I downloaded the try out script from the official website "neuropowertools.org"
Best,
Max
In case anyone (who is also new to python^^) fails ridiculously at this task as well: I had to manually install all the modules used within this package for it to work as they weren't installed automatically.
Okay, so, I'm actually a beginner in programming Python, and I only found out yesterday how you were supposed to encode pip install ModuleName in the Python command line and not in the interactive shell. I'm trying to download a lot of modules, such as the Send2Trash module, Pyperclip, Requests, Beautiful Soup, and Selenium.
Before I checked the forums about installing modules, I found out how we needed to have the pip tool. I'm a Windows user, but for some reason, I didn't have the 'Scripts' folder installed when I downloaded Python. I didn't know we needed it, so I used raw scripts from GitHub, setup.py, and copy pasted the script into the File Editor in Python, ran it in the interactive shell, and tried to import the module I needed. It worked for the Pyperclip and the Requests module; no errors popped up after I imported them using import pyperclip or import requests, but when I tried the same procedure for the rest of the modules I needed, there were some errors.
Also, when I tried to download the modules on pypi.python.org, I tried to open it using the interactive shell, but then something pops up, 'The file's encoding is invalid for Python3.x...', and when I click 'OK', it's going to say 'Failed to Decode', and close everything.
So, after reading forum after forum, I found out how to download pip, and was also able to download setuptools and wheel. I'm not sure if it's really already downloaded, but I was able to get the 'Scripts' folder that wasn't there before, so I guess so. I also already went into my PATH using the edit environment for your account thing, and I edited the Path variable so its value would lead to my 'Scripts' folder. Please do tell me if I did the right thing here.
So, following the advice of the forums, I tried to install the modules I needed by typing pip install ModuleName in the Python command line instead of the interactive shell, but it still gave me a Syntax Error. I also tried it in Command Prompt, typing the same code pip install ModuleName, but when I clicked Enter, nothing happens; no errors or anything. It seemed like my install was accepted, but when I tried importing the module in the interactive shell, it still gave an Import Error.
Please tell me what I did wrong throughout my process, and how to properly install the modules I need. I would include pictures into this, but it seems I can only add two before my reputation becomes 10, and I'm pretty new here, so... If there's anything I need to elaborate on about my problem, don't hesitate to ask, and I'll try my best.
You say you use windows so you need to understand pip.
pip is a program that installs python modules. You can even use easy_install instead of pip.
some pip commands
pip list -- lists out already installed modules.
pip search <module name> -- searches new modules.
pip -h -- more pip commands you want.
pip installs modules from CMD prompt not from python shell.
Even after installing modules some modules doesn't run as import module
they need to be imported as from module import function.
refer the pip help command and install modules.
DO NOT SAVE SCRIPT FILES IN PYTHON ROOT FOLDER YOU MAY FACE SOME PROBLEMS
Happy Programming!!!
After a whole lot of searching and trying out, I found the solution to my problem. For future Python users who encounter the same thing: always install your modules in the root folder.
In my case, my Command Prompt was automatically inside the C:\Users folder, which caused some problems because I couldn't download my module in there. Once I typed in cd C:\Python34, which was my root folder, I could successfully download the modules I needed using pip install ModuleName.
Running pymatlab on my machine results in
Exception AttributeError: "'MatlabSession' object has no attribute 'engine'" in > ignored
after the command session = pymatlab.session_factory() is run.
How to fix this problem has been discussed already here:
Running MATLAB from Python
It looks like one line of code in the sessionfactory.py script in the pymatlab module has to be changed in a minor way. The problem I have is that the pymatlab module which is installed on my machine is in .egg form and it doesn't look like it is possible to change the code directly with a text editor. Any suggestions on how to do that?
Thanks
If you use easy_install, check
How do I forbid easy_install from zipping eggs?
If you prefer pip (and you probably should), check
pip: “Editable” Installs, i.e.
pip install -e pymatlab
