nrfutil - "ImportError: No module named main" on Nixos - python

I'm using the tool nrfutil which is implemented in Python. To be able to use it under NixOS I was using a default.nix file, that installed nrfutil into a venv. This worked for some time very well. (The last build on the build server using Nix within an alpine container could build the software I'm working on 11 days ago successfully.) When I do exactly the same things (i.e. restarting the CI server build without changes), the build fails now complaining about pip being incorrect:
$ nix-shell
New python executable in /home/matthias/source/tbconnect/bootloader/.venv/bin/python2.7
Not overwriting existing python script /home/matthias/source/tbconnect/bootloader/.venv/bin/python (you must use /home/matthias/source/tbconnect/bootloader/.venv/bin/python2.7)
Installing pip, wheel...
done.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/matthias/source/tbconnect/bootloader/.venv/bin/pip", line 6, in <module>
from pip._internal.main import main
ImportError: No module named main
To me it seems that the module main should exist:
$ ls -l .venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_internal/main.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 matthias matthias 1359 10月 15 12:27 .venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_internal/main.py
I'm not very much into the Python environment, so I don't know any further. Has somebody any pointer for me where to continue debugging? How is Python resolving modules? Why doesn't it find the module, that seems to be present to me?
This is my default.nix that I use to install pip:
with import <nixpkgs> {};
with pkgs.python27Packages;
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "impurePythonEnv";
buildInputs = [
automake
autoconf
gcc-arm-embedded-7
# these packages are required for virtualenv and pip to work:
#
python27Full
python27Packages.virtualenv
python27Packages.pip
# the following packages are related to the dependencies of your python
# project.
# In this particular example the python modules listed in the
# requirements.txt require the following packages to be installed locally
# in order to compile any binary extensions they may require.
#

openssl
git
stdenv
zlib ];
src = null;
shellHook = ''
# set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH so that we can use python wheels
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=$(date +%s)
virtualenv --no-setuptools .venv
export PATH=$PWD/.venv/bin:$PATH
#pip install nrfutil
pip help
# the following is required to build micro_ecc_lib_nrf52.a in the SDK
export GNU_INSTALL_ROOT="${gcc-arm-embedded-7}/bin/"
unset CC
'';
}
I replaced pip install nrfutil with pip help to make sure the problem is not the package I try to install itself.
I'm still using python 2.7 as the nrfutil still is not fit for Python 3.
Anyway replacing python27 with python37 did not change the error I get when trying to start pip.)
NixOS version used locally is 19.09. Nix in the CI docker container is nixos/nix:latest which is the nix package manager on Alpine Linux.
Update:
Actually it works when I replace the call to pip install nrfutil with python2.7 -m pip install nrfutil. This actually confuses me even more. python2.7 is exactly the binary that is in the shebang of pip:
[nix-shell:~/source/tbconnect/bootloader]$ type python2.7
python2.7 is /home/matthias/source/tbconnect/bootloader/.venv/bin/python2.7
[nix-shell:~/source/tbconnect/bootloader]$ type pip
pip is /home/matthias/source/tbconnect/bootloader/.venv/bin/pip
[nix-shell:~/source/tbconnect/bootloader]$ head --lines 2 .venv/bin/pip
#!/home/matthias/source/tbconnect/bootloader/.venv/bin/python2.7
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
Update 2:
I found out that another way to fix the problem is to edit .venv/bin/pip. This script tried the following import:
from pip._internal.main import main
Which I think is the new module path starting with pip 19.3. But I still have pip 19.2. When I change this line to:
from pip._internal import main
Running pip by typing pip is working.
The thing is I have no idea why the pip script is trying to load the new module path while NixOS still has the old version of pip.
I also opened an issue for NixOS on GitHub: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/71178

How do I check all pip packages for packages installed globally using sudo? [duplicate]

Is there a way in Python to list all installed packages and their versions?
I know I can go inside python/Lib/site-packages and see what files and directories exist, but I find this very awkward. What I'm looking for something that is similar to npm list i.e. npm-ls.
If you have pip install and you want to see what packages have been installed with your installer tools you can simply call this:
pip freeze
It will also include version numbers for the installed packages.
Update
pip has been updated to also produce the same output as pip freeze by calling:
pip list
Note
The output from pip list is formatted differently, so if you have some shell script that parses the output (maybe to grab the version number) of freeze and want to change your script to call list, you'll need to change your parsing code.
help('modules') should do it for you.
in IPython :
In [1]: import #import press-TAB
Display all 631 possibilities? (y or n)
ANSI audiodev markupbase
AptUrl audioop markupsafe
ArgImagePlugin avahi marshal
BaseHTTPServer axi math

If you want to get information about your installed python distributions and don't want to use your cmd console or terminal for it, but rather through python code, you can use the following code (tested with python 3.4):
import pip #needed to use the pip functions
for i in pip.get_installed_distributions(local_only=True):
print(i)
The pip.get_installed_distributions(local_only=True) function-call returns an iterable and because of the for-loop and the print function the elements contained in the iterable are printed out separated by new line characters (\n).
The result will (depending on your installed distributions) look something like this:
cycler 0.9.0
decorator 4.0.4
ipykernel 4.1.0
ipython 4.0.0
ipython-genutils 0.1.0
ipywidgets 4.0.3
Jinja2 2.8
jsonschema 2.5.1
jupyter 1.0.0
jupyter-client 4.1.1
#... and so on...
To run this in later versions of pip (tested on pip==10.0.1) use the following:
from pip._internal.operations.freeze import freeze
for requirement in freeze(local_only=True):
print(requirement)
My take:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import pkg_resources
dists = [str(d).replace(" ","==") for d in pkg_resources.working_set]
for i in dists:
print(i)
from command line
python -c help('modules')
can be used to view all modules, and for specific modules
python -c help('os')
For Linux below will work
python -c "help('os')"
For easy_install (deprecated, Python <= v2.7, do not use this, use pip instead; use this only in old projects that still use easy_install)
You can try : Yolk
For install yolk, try:
easy_install yolk
Yolk is a Python tool for obtaining information about installed Python
packages and querying packages avilable on PyPI (Python Package
Index).
You can see which packages are active, non-active or in development
mode and show you which have newer versions available by querying
PyPI.
yes! you should be using pip as your python package manager ( http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip )
with pip installed packages, you can do a
pip freeze
and it will list all installed packages. You should probably also be using virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper. When you start a new project, you can do
mkvirtualenv my_new_project
and then (inside that virtualenv), do
pip install all_your_stuff
This way, you can workon my_new_project and then pip freeze to see which packages are installed for that virtualenv/project.
for example:
➜ ~ mkvirtualenv yo_dude
New python executable in yo_dude/bin/python

or if you have a python package with a requirements.pip file,
mkvirtualenv my_awesome_project
pip install -r requirements.pip
pip freeze
will do the trick
If you're using anaconda:
conda list
will do it! See: https://conda.io/docs/_downloads/conda-cheatsheet.pdf
Here's a way to do it using PYTHONPATH instead of the absolute path of your python libs dir:
for d in `echo "${PYTHONPATH}" | tr ':' '\n'`; do ls "${d}"; done
[ 10:43 Jonathan#MacBookPro-2 ~/xCode/Projects/Python for iOS/trunk/Python for iOS/Python for iOS ]$ for d in `echo "$PYTHONPATH" | tr ':' '\n'`; do ls "${d}"; done

....
for using code, for example to check what modules in Hackerrank etc :
import os
os.system("pip list")
If this is needed to run from within python you can just invoke subprocess
from subprocess import PIPE, Popen
pip_process = Popen(["pip freeze"], stdout=PIPE,
stderr=PIPE, shell=True)
stdout, stderr = pip_process.communicate()
print(stdout.decode("utf-8"))
For Windows 10, I think this is what you are looking for a list of available installed Pythons. This is different from a list of packages as you can see below. Also, on Ubuntu 20.04, I think the command is Python3 -0 list.
Yes, this works similar to node version manager.
c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python>py -0 list

From the above link, "If you wish to use multiple versions of Python on a single machine, then pyenv is a commonly used tool to install and switch between versions. This is not to be confused with the previously mentioned depreciated pyvenv script. It does not come bundled with Python and must be installed separately." -- Note: This acts similar to Node Version Manager with versions of Node.js and NPM.

My Note(s): This Python version is not part of the managed list although this version exists at 'https://www.python.org/downloads/'. So you must see the list provided by the manager. See all available versions with `pyenv install --list'.

Note: Review the list from this call and make your selection.

My Note(s): With this Python version manager, 'pyenv', following installation, it appears that one must designate the version as 'local' or 'global' after the installation which would follow the same paradigm as the Node.js Version Manager (NVM). Again, from what I can see, the Python version manager can only see what versions of Python the manager installs; and it can only uninstall a version it has installed with the Python version manager.

From the above link, "When the environment is active, any packages can be installed to it via pip as normal. By default, the newly created environment will not include any packages already installed on the machine. As pip itself will not necessarily be installed on the machine. It is recommended to first upgrade pip to the latest version, using 'pip install --upgrade pip'." -- I performed the pip upgrade just before making these two calls to list the packages and their versions below.

Package not found after pip install

I've published a module to PyPi using Flit: a2d_diary (I've checked that the tar.gz contains all the scripts).
Then, I tried to install it in a virtual env in Windows and Linux using pip install a2d_diary and although it works and all dependencies are installed, if I try to run a2d_diary in a terminal (with the venv activate) it does not find my package.
Is this a problem with Flit, PyPi or am I missing something in the main script? The source code is here
Thanks!
The file a2d_diary.py is installed, but it won't be accessible via running $ ad2_diary.py from your terminal. These are the package files that were installed:
$ pip show -f a2d_diary

If you want the script to be executable after the installation, you have to declare it as such in the package setup file (btw, I don't see any setup.py in your repository - did you commit it?). Example setup.py:
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name='a2d_diary',
version='0.1',
packages=find_packages(where='src'),
package_dir={
'': 'src',
},
scripts=['src/a2d_diary.py'],
)
Another thing you will need in order to make your a2d_diary.py script executable is the shebang line (works for Unix, no idea what to do on Windows since I don't do Windows at all): first line in a2d_diary.py should be
#!/usr/bin/env python
if your script can be run with any version of Python or
#!/usr/bin/env python3
for Python 3 specifically or
#!/usr/bin/env python2
for Python 2 specifically.
Now, if you build a wheel or source tar and install it, you will be able to run the script via
$ a2d_diary.py

Unable to use azure SDK in Python

I did this:
sudo pip install azure azure-storage azure-servicebus azure-mgmt azure-servicemanagement-legacy
from azure import *
Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in
ImportError: No module named azure
from azure.storage import BlobService
Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in
ImportError: No module named azure.storage
Python package installed thru cmd sudo pip install exists at the paths /usr/lib/python2.7, /usr/local/python2.7, etc and their sub-folder dist-packages.
You can code import sys and print sys.path in the Python Interpreter to show the completed path list for current python environment.
Iif you installed successfully some packages like azure & azure-storage, you can find these files relate to the package in the python library paths.
However, you got the error in Import Error: No module named <package-name> when you run the code import <package-name> or from <package-name> import <class or object name>. There are two scenes that would be cause the issue normally.
Package not installed successfully.
The library path included package that not exists in Python system environment path sys.path in python or PYTHONHOME in environment variables.
So I think you can try to solve the issue thru three ways below.
Dynamically add the package path into sys.path thru the method sys.path.append('<package path>') in python code.
Check the environment variable PYTHONHOME whether or not set up. If set up PYTHONHOME, python will add package path based on PYTHONHOME into sys.path.
If your python environment encounter some unknown fault that is unrecoverable, you can try to reinstall Python thru commands sudo apt-get remove python python-pip, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install python python-pip on Ubuntu. It's a simple way.
BlobService belongs to azure.storage.blob rather than the azure.storage
it should rather be
from azure.storage.blob import BlobService
Link - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-python-how-to-use-blob-storage/
If it still doesn't work for you, you might would like to use virtualEnv and do the pip install again while in virtualenv
http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/
I had very similar issue. There was a lot of confusion between python2 and python3 package versions as there was no virtual env used and I also had to ungrade pip to 18.
But anyway, this is is how I resolved the part in question.
Locate where the package was installed:
pip show azure
The output will show the location of the package in the Location section:

At the begining of my python file I added:
sys.path.insert( 0, '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages' )
This will make sure this package location will be checked in the first place.
UPDATE
Thinking about it in the morning, things opened from a new perspective for me. I saw, that I had #!/usr/bin/python at the beginning of my python file, which says to use the wrong interpreter and look for pip packages in the wrong place.
azure metapackage is deprecated
and azure-storage is not being maintained anymore
Please use azure-storage-blob >= 12.0
pip install azure-storage-blob
from azure.storage.blob import BlobServiceClient

I have install the six package. How to solve this problem?
I'm working on MacOS with python 2.7.
I tried to install but failed:
lichaos-MacBook-Pro:common lichao$ sudo pip install --allow-unverified xmlrpclib xmlrpclib
Collecting xmlrpclib
xmlrpclib is potentially insecure and unverifiable.

But when I run my program, I still got same error. How to solve the problem?
six.moves is a virtual namespace. It provides access to packages that were renamed between Python 2 and 3. As such, you shouldn't be installing anything.
By importing from six.moves.xmlrpc_client the developer doesn't have to handle the case where it is located at xmlrpclib in Python 2, and at xmlrpc.client in Python 3. Note that these are part of the standard library.
The mapping was added to six version 1.5.0; make sure you have that version or newer.
Mac comes with six version 1.4.1 pre-installed in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python and this will interfere with any version you install in site-packages (which is listed last in the sys.path).
The best work-around is to use a virtualenv and install your own version of six into that, together with whatever else you need for this project. Create a new virtualenv for new projects.
If you absolutely have to install this at the system level, then for this specific project you'll have to remove the /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python path:
import sys
sys.path.remove('/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python')
This will remove various OS X-provided packages from your path for just that run of Python; Apple installs these for their own needs.
pip uninstall six
pip install six
should solve the issue.

How to list all installed packages and their versions in Python?

Is there a way in Python to list all installed packages and their versions?
I know I can go inside python/Lib/site-packages and see what files and directories exist, but I find this very awkward. What I'm looking for something that is similar to npm list i.e. npm-ls.
If you have pip install and you want to see what packages have been installed with your installer tools you can simply call this:
pip freeze
It will also include version numbers for the installed packages.
Update
pip has been updated to also produce the same output as pip freeze by calling:
pip list
Note
The output from pip list is formatted differently, so if you have some shell script that parses the output (maybe to grab the version number) of freeze and want to change your script to call list, you'll need to change your parsing code.
help('modules') should do it for you.
in IPython :
In [1]: import #import press-TAB
Display all 631 possibilities? (y or n)
ANSI audiodev markupbase

ArgImagePlugin avahi marshal

If you want to get information about your installed python distributions and don't want to use your cmd console or terminal for it, but rather through python code, you can use the following code (tested with python 3.4):
import pip #needed to use the pip functions
for i in pip.get_installed_distributions(local_only=True):
print(i)
The pip.get_installed_distributions(local_only=True) function-call returns an iterable and because of the for-loop and the print function the elements contained in the iterable are printed out separated by new line characters (\n).
The result will (depending on your installed distributions) look something like this:
cycler 0.9.0
decorator 4.0.4
ipykernel 4.1.0
ipython 4.0.0
ipython-genutils 0.1.0
ipywidgets 4.0.3
Jinja2 2.8
jsonschema 2.5.1
jupyter 1.0.0
jupyter-client 4.1.1
#... and so on...
To run this in later versions of pip (tested on pip==10.0.1) use the following:
from pip._internal.operations.freeze import freeze
for requirement in freeze(local_only=True):
print(requirement)
My take:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import pkg_resources
dists = [str(d).replace(" ","==") for d in pkg_resources.working_set]
for i in dists:
print(i)
from command line
python -c help('modules')
can be used to view all modules, and for specific modules
python -c help('os')
For Linux below will work
python -c "help('os')"
For easy_install (deprecated, Python <= v2.7, do not use this, use pip instead; use this only in old projects that still use easy_install)
You can try : Yolk
For install yolk, try:
easy_install yolk
Yolk is a Python tool for obtaining information about installed Python
packages and querying packages avilable on PyPI (Python Package
Index).
You can see which packages are active, non-active or in development
mode and show you which have newer versions available by querying
PyPI.
yes! you should be using pip as your python package manager ( http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip )
with pip installed packages, you can do a
pip freeze
and it will list all installed packages. You should probably also be using virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper. When you start a new project, you can do
mkvirtualenv my_new_project
and then (inside that virtualenv), do
pip install all_your_stuff
This way, you can workon my_new_project and then pip freeze to see which packages are installed for that virtualenv/project.
for example:
➜ ~ mkvirtualenv yo_dude

or if you have a python package with a requirements.pip file,
mkvirtualenv my_awesome_project
pip install -r requirements.pip
pip freeze
will do the trick
If you're using anaconda:
conda list
will do it! See: https://conda.io/docs/_downloads/conda-cheatsheet.pdf
Here's a way to do it using PYTHONPATH instead of the absolute path of your python libs dir:
for d in `echo "${PYTHONPATH}" | tr ':' '\n'`; do ls "${d}"; done
[ 10:43 Jonathan#MacBookPro-2 ~/xCode/Projects/Python for iOS/trunk/Python for iOS/Python for iOS ]$ for d in `echo "$PYTHONPATH" | tr ':' '\n'`; do ls "${d}"; done

for using code, for example to check what modules in Hackerrank etc :
import os
os.system("pip list")
If this is needed to run from within python you can just invoke subprocess
from subprocess import PIPE, Popen
pip_process = Popen(["pip freeze"], stdout=PIPE,
stderr=PIPE, shell=True)
stdout, stderr = pip_process.communicate()
print(stdout.decode("utf-8"))
For Windows 10, I think this is what you are looking for a list of available installed Pythons. This is different from a list of packages as you can see below. Also, on Ubuntu 20.04, I think the command is Python3 -0 list.
Yes, this works similar to node version manager.
c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python>py -0 list
Python 0 not found!
Installed Pythons found by py Launcher for Windows
-3.10-64 *
-3.9-64
-3.7-64
-3.6-64

From the above link, "If you wish to use multiple versions of Python on a single machine, then pyenv is a commonly used tool to install and switch between versions. This is not to be confused with the previously mentioned depreciated pyvenv script. It does not come bundled with Python and must be installed separately." -- Note: This acts similar to Node Version Manager with versions of Node.js and NPM.

Action: Open PowerShell and type the following web request. The link above offers other approaches as well, but this appears to be the easiest approach. The name of the runtime output file is not a name variant like 'pyenv-win' but actually 'pyenv', as originally expected.

pyenv specific python requisite didn't meet. Project is using different version of python.
Install python '3.9-64' by typing: 'pyenv install 3.9-64'
My Note: Version name from 'https://www.python.org/downloads/' is different to those provided by 'pyenv'. This version was already installed locally, but it is outside the control of this Python version manager, so it is not visible to the manager.
C:\Users\user>pyenv install 3.8.10-64
:: [Info] :: Mirror: https://www.python.org/ftp/python
pyenv-install: definition not found: local
My Note(s): This Python version is not part of the managed list although this version exists at 'https://www.python.org/downloads/'. So you must see the list provided by the manager. See all available versions with `pyenv install --list'.
C:\Users\user>pyenv install --list
Note: Review the list from this call and make your selection.

My Note(s): With this Python version manager, 'pyenv', following installation, it appears that one must designate the version as 'local' or 'global' after the installation which would follow the same paradigm as the Node.js Version Manager (NVM). Again, from what I can see, the Python version manager can only see what versions of Python the manager installs; and it can only uninstall a version it has installed with the Python version manager.

From the above link, "When the environment is active, any packages can be installed to it via pip as normal. By default, the newly created environment will not include any packages already installed on the machine. As pip itself will not necessarily be installed on the machine. It is recommended to first upgrade pip to the latest version, using 'pip install --upgrade pip'." -- I performed the pip upgrade just before making these two calls to list the packages and their versions below.
