I am trying to install PyHook using PIP. When I run the command on cmd pip install pyhook3 I get a C1080 error that tells me there is no such .h file located in my directory. I traced the directory, downloaded the file and it showed me another. I kept doing this until I noticed that there seems to be no end. There seems to be a lot of missing .h files in this includes folder C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\include directory. I don't want to have to download or copy and paste source code for each of these files. Is there any way to get all of them at once, or am I missing the plot entirely?
pyhook is a Python package with binary dependencies.
When running pip install pyhook3 you download the source and ask your computer to build it so it can be installed. It thus requires a compiler and a set of header files that are apparently missing for you.
A workaround may be to download manually a compiled version of this package and install it.
You can find on this page a set of binary wheel for pyhook (not pyhook3) for python3 (32 or 64 bit). Once you have downloaded the correct .whl, you can install it with pip install the_filename_you_have_downloaded.whl

I am new to installing OpenCV and I want to install python 3.6.7 and a compatible OpenCV version. I want to install it on 64bit windows 10 laptop. How can I do this?
OK, if you are using python 3.6 - 64bits in windows OS (please be sure that it appear at the begin on your "python command line") first of all you have to go to this page: "https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/"
To install "opencv" library you first need "Numpy" library so let's download this right here:
let's download opencv library too:
There is an easy way to install these 2 libraries on windows:
1.- Unzip these files (I recommend you 7zip to do it) and in the case of numpy we will have this files:
Let's copy "Numpy" and "numpy-1.15.4+mkl.data" files (I have 1.14.0 version, don't worry about that) to this path: "Python36\Lib\site-packages" (the path to Python36 depends of where you installed it).
import numpy on your python command line, if not appear any error, we have finished of installing numpy on windows 10.
In the case of opencv is a little different,
when we unzip .whl file of opencv, we will have these files:
let's enter to "opencv_python-3.4.1.data" --> "data" --> "Lib" --> "site-packages". and then copy all files inside "site-packages" directory to "Python36\Lib\site-packages" (the same directory where we paste numpy library)
as same as in the case of numpy, import opencv on your python command line using "import cv2", if not appear any error, we have finished of installing opencv on windows 10.
There is another way to install .whl libraries on windows using PIP but you have to be sure that your python can be called from cmd (there is an option when you installed python called "add to path" to make this posible) also you have to have a good internet conection to prevent any posible error when installing. There are many tutorials in stackoverflow explaining PIP method. Hope this helps!.
I'm running python 3.6 via anaconda 3, using Visual Studio Code.
I followed instructions like these (Interactive Brokers API install) and downloaded the package to a local directory of mine say: c:\dev\pyib, so now the code is in c:\dev\pyib\IbPy-master
I open that directory in command line and run
python setup.py install
All runs ok.
But then my program, which is in c:\dev\pyib says Module not found. (In my case ibapi). The linter is also showing red.
There is no other python installed on this pc.
Where did the package install to? and how do I check that? What will I find where the package installed itself to that shows me its there?
Or do I have to use a trial-and-error with the linter and sys.path.append()? (I tried that with the directory where the files are downloaded to - to no avail)
I'm trying to set up the PYTHONPATH using the "env" in launch.json from Visual Studio Code, as shown in this unaccepted answer.
Current sys.path:
'c:\\dev\\pyIb',
'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Continuum\\anaconda3\\python36.zip',
'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Continuum\\anaconda3\\DLLs',
'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Continuum\\anaconda3\\lib',
'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Continuum\\anaconda3',
'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Continuum\\anaconda3\\lib\\site-
packages',
'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Continuum\\anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\Babel-2.5.0-py3.6.egg',
'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Continuum\\anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\win32',
'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Continuum\\anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib',
'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Continuum\\anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin'
I deleted the ib directory and re-ran the install. The last line says: Writing C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\IbPy2-0.8.0-py3.6.egg-info So is the location of the egg-info the location of my undetected module? The actual folder in the site-packages is called ib.
Or could my problems be because of a difference in Lib vs. lib with the lowercase in the sys.path and the uppercase in the actual directory?
But the real question here is still: HOW DO I KNOW WHERE the package was installed what should I search for?
This answer is specific for anaconda3 Python and packages installed using python setup.py install (which is actually using distutils)
Take a look at anaconda3\Lib\site-packages you should see a directory for the package you installed.
The way to know for sure where your package is, is by doing a pip list then trying to pip uninstall and re-install again using the python setup.py install: Here are the detailed instructions:
When uninstalling, pip will tell you it cannot because it was done via distutils.
You'll get a message like this:
DEPRECATION: Uninstalling a distutils installed project (ibpy2) has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
This is due to the fact that uninstalling a distutils project will only partially uninstall the project.
You'll be prompted to continue anyway. If you choose No, then you can find the directory in
C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages
Thanks to Emanuel Mtali for pointing me in the right direction
Some more information:
The problem I had was due to a stupid mistake of mine. I was running setup of a different (but related) package not used anymore. IbPy2 instead of TwsAPI. I was supposed to run the setup.py of the package installed via the latest version of the MSI from IB, and NOT the IbPy2 package. :-(
When I try to install python-asurv using setup.py, (typing "path"\python "path"\setup.py install in the command prompt), I get the following error:
building extension "twokm" sources target build\src.win32-2.7\twokmmodule.c does not exist: Assuming twokmmodule.c was generated with "build_src --inplace" command. error: '.\\twokmmodule.c' missing`
I am on windows 7 64bit with 32bit python2.7
In the zip file that I downloaded, there is setup.py, asurv.py, asurv.pyc, two licences, a readme, and twokm.pyf and twokm.f, which I think are in fortran format (don't know anything about fortran). The README just says type python setup.py install.
I think that for the twokm.pyf and twokm.f files I need to use f2py to convert them to .py files, am I right?
How can I install python-asurv?
Make sure you have installed numpy at it is dependency of python-asurv
Do pip install numpy and then Do python setup.py install in the directory you have downloaded.
I am a newbie to installing python extensions working on Windows 7, running Python 2.6 - I need to install the Levenshtein library from
http://code.google.com/p/pylevenshtein/downloads/detail?name=python-Levenshtein-0.10.1.tar.bz2&can=2&q=
When I unzip the downloaded file, it gives me the following list of files:
COPYING
gendoc.sh
Levenshtein.c
Levenshtein.h
MANIFEST
NEWS
PKG-INFO
README
setup.cfg
setup.py
StringMatcher.py
How do I install the Levenshtein library so I could import and use it into my python code?
Assuming you have Python already installed on on you PATH, you can do this:
python setup.py install
However, it seems to have a compiled extension so you will probably also need a complete Windows development environment to install that (it is a source distribution). So if you don't it may not work. Your best bet would be to find that as an MSI package, if you can.
Here is quite a large section of the documentation easily found by doing some research.
http://docs.python.org/install/index.html
It appears that you will want to run:
python setup.py install --prefix="\Temp\Python"
to install modules to the \Temp\Python directory on the current drive.
Some more info:
If you don’t choose an installation directory—i.e., if you just run
setup.py install—then the install command installs to the standard
location for third-party Python modules.
The default installation directory on Windows was C:\Program Files\Python under Python 1.6a1, 1.5.2, and earlier.
I cannot figure out how to install hdf5-1.8.9-linux-x86_64-shared so that I can install h5py-2.0.1
I have extracted the "tar-balls" but cant find the setup.py file to run.
Has anyone else done this recently?
I'm running the shell through SSH, and I dont have root access so I need to install in my home folder.
I think you might have downloaded a binary.
