Using Python virtualenv-clone returns _Py_HashRandomization_Init: failed to get random numbers to initialize Python

I am running the following line of code and getting the following errors:
If this doesn't work, what is the easiest way to clone the entire venv to another computer?
I want to copy the python interpreter, the venv, and the code all together, without having to reinstall python or anything else on the other PC

An error ocurred while starting the kernel Python in Spyder

I updated Python to version 4.2 with Anaconda Navigator. I am kind of new to programming, but I have an error in the console. It says "An error ocurred while starting the kernel" and than the following:

What should I do to fix this?
When I open Spyder, it says (Python 3.6). Is that maybe part of the problem? Thanks in advance!

(Spyder maintainer here) Please open the Anaconda Prompt and run there
conda update anaconda
conda install ipython=7.6.0
That should fix your problem.

How to create virtualenv python when getting the error mentioned below .?

I am new to Django, I am creating Virtual environment for the new project, I was able to do it for first time, so i have deactivated virtual environment, deleted the whole folder recreate again. Then I am getting errors as mentioned below. How to fix these error?
I have deleted the folder, opened a new command prompt, I have tried to create the virtualenv in another drive(D:) still getting the same errors. I have used the following commands to get it work 'virtualenv .' and 'virtualenv python3 .'

I believe the issue is that your new virtual environment is on D:\ drive, but your general python is on the C:\ drive, and is what you're trying to build from. Although it would be a little odd if this is true (because of how virtual env's are configured), it is possible; it would be like saying start your car without fuel.
The reason I believe this is the problem is because your Traceback error traces back to the C:\ drive, but your virtual environment isn't configured for that, or vice versa. You can see what I mean if we format your logs.

Because you referenced Django, here is their install guide for windows, just in case. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/howto/windows/. If you followed the guide exactly, I would confidently say the issue is not with your environment, and something with your pip install of Django. Maybe try uninstall and reinstall?
Hope this helps! Do let us know what you find.

Numerous remote errors when following TensorFlow Pets on Google Cloud tutorial

Following instructions in the "Distributed Training on the Oxford-IIIT Pets Dataset on Google Cloud" tutorial on the official TensorFlow Models repo, I'm running into some issues. First, this:
Termination reason: Error. Traceback (most recent call last): File
"/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 174, in _run_module_as_main

The takeaway from this was the last part - "No module named matplotlib". Following some advice online, I edited the provided setup.py, to add "matplotlib" as a requirement:
REQUIRED_PACKAGES = ['Pillow>=1.0', 'matplotlib']
Running it again, that solved the issue. Odd - you'd assume with it being a tutorial, it wouldn't have that issue. Next though, it ran into a new issue:

With no relevant search results for this issue, it's difficult to know what the problem is, though one answer suggested an out of date version of TensorFlow. The stated TensorFlow version for this project is TensorFlow 1.2. TensorFlow is now on version 1.7, so maybe that's where the issue arrises. The options for runtime version list are 1.2, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6. Trying it with 1.6, I got a different error:

Again, there doesn't seem to be a solution to this error right now. So I'm stabbing in the dark. I try it again with TensorFlow 1.4. New error:

I'm finding myself deep within a world of errors now, and don't really know what my next steps should be. I'm simply following the steps of the tutorial, executing the lines of code they say to execute, and receiving these remote errors after 5-10 mins of execution.
Any advice on how to overcome these issues would be appreciated.

You have an installation issue. Uninstall everything and confirm uninstalled by starting Python and importing what you uninstalled to ensure you observe ImportError for each uninstalled package.
Then carefully follow the steps on the installation page which indeed indicate separate installation steps for matplotlib and more.

Some of these errors were supposed to be happening until the following commit.
Using the repo now, following the instructions in here works for me. Only looks like you need to use --runtime-version 1.7 flag.
If you keep having issues make sure you are following the installation instructions using sudo.
If not, some people were still saying they needed to add Tensorflow and Jupyter also in the setup.py (that was not my case though)

QGIS python module is interfering with another python module installed at the system level

I am working with QGIS Pisa in Windows environment.I wanted to upgrade the scipy module of Python present inside OSGeo4W. For that I installed pip from the OSGeo4W windows command shell. I closed the command shell after installation and reopened it.
When I give the pip command inside OSFGeo4W windows command shell, it is referring to pip module installed at the system level and hence I am getting an error. I don't know how to correct this thing. Here is my error stack trace:
Traceback (most recent call last):

As you can see on the stacktrace, 3rd line from top, the code refers to pip module of python installed at the system level instead of pip module installed inside the QGIS Pisa. How can I correctly run this ?
