PyAudio installation problems - python

I am trying to install PyAudio on Python 3.7.
Problem is when I try a simple import pyaudio it prints :
Please build and install the PortAudio Python bindings first.
According to this post, the problem could be solved by downloading he binaries and installing the wheels.
However pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl only shows :
Cannot uninstall 'PyAudio'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.
Is there any other way to delete completely PyAudio to try the first solution, or do I have to manually build PortAudio ?
I am running Windows 10 64bit.

Here is how I managed to solve my problem :
I delete PyAudio and Portaudio files in the libraries folder manually.
Then, as described here, I went on this downloaded the .whl and installed it with the Windows command : pip install PyAudio-0.2.11-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
It seems to work fine since I have no more error output.

pip installs wrong platform of pywin32 into Embed Python

I uncompress Embed Python, download pip wheel extract it and put to lib\site-packages. Next run python -m pip install pywin32. So far so god. But when running program it fails to load pywin32file.pyd. With dependency walker I checked and realized it is x86 architecture while running x64 Python. I tried with x64 downloaded version of pywin32 wheel file and got error "Unsupported platform". pip installed x86 wheel but is is not correct.
At the end, I unzipped x64 version of pywin32 wheel into lib\site-packages. Two dlls from pywin32_system32 copied to dll search path and it works now.
We are distributing Embed Python with handful of libraries and pip is god way to get them.
What causes wrong architecture detection by pip and how to solve problem?
The problem you encountered may have had a different cause to my issue, but I was able to resolve a similar problem with pip installing 32-bit packages on 64-bit Python by changing my VSCMD_ARG_TGT_ARCH environment variable from x86 (which seems to be the default setting if you are using the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt or anything that relies on it) to x86_64.
This seems to be a bug in packaging that was just fixed this April, so, as of this writing, the fix may not have yet made its way into pip.

Installing PyHook python 3.7 64 bit

I’ve been trying to pip install pyHook for about 3 hours and tried every method that I can possibly think of or find but I can’t seem to get it to work. I get the error:
Requirement ‘pyHook-1.5.1-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl’ looks like a filename,but file does not exist. Than it says pyHook-1.5.1-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
Please help.
Head over to this link
Then find pyhook and install pyHook-1.5.1-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl.
Go to cmd and type pip install followed by the path of your pyhook file. For example:
C:\\user\download\pyHook-1.5.1-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl
Since you seem to have python3:
pip3 install pyHook
This should work.
You're also probably on a 64 bit Computer, so in the original wheel method, install the one with the _amd64 suffix.
If one is using Windows, for installing pyHook, download the file related with your system version (32/64) from here.
Note that for whl files one may need to install the wheel package, as
pip install wheel
And then
pip install file_name.whl

OpenCV: AttributeError: module 'cv2' has no attribute 'face'

I am creating a face recognition system using Python and OpenCV on these versions:
Python 3.6.2 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit)
Anaconda 4.3.23
OpenCV 3.3.0
When I try to train the face recognizer:
face_recognizer = cv2.face.createLBPHFaceRecognizer()
I get this error:
AttributeError: module 'cv2' has no attribute 'face'
Update:
I've tried to do this:
pip install opencv_python‑3.3.0+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl
Also:
conda install -c menpo opencv3=3.3.0
And I still have the error.
The Menpo project does not have an installer for OpenCV 3.3. The Menpo project is up to 3.1 on macOS and Windows, and 3.2 on Linux. See the Anaconda package for that description and also the list of files for the installer versions. Actually, you can check out the GitHub repo for Menpo's OpenCV3 build and grab the files yourself. You can change the build files to suit your system if needed.
I'm not sure if your pip attempt includes a typo or not---the correct PyPI package wheel file with the contrib module is opencv_contrib_python not opencv_python+contrib, as shown at PyPI. Note that if you're not using Windows the GUI features of OpenCV will not work with the pip installer, including imshow() and other similar features.
You'd be better served just removing and reinstalling fresh with the contrib modules instead of trying to build them in later.
While I was looking for the same solution, I tried out many methods which don't work well with successfully installing OpenCV along with the extra modules i.e., OpenCV Contrib.
Apparently, while using pip install opencv-python windows platforms usually download only OpenCV without the extra modules!
What works, is stable and easy to install:
Download the integrated 'whl' file containing both OpenCV and it's Contrib files, which would be like 'opencv_python‑3.4.3+contrib‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl' which can be downloaded from here.
Install using pip install <whl filename>
I have tried other methods which are unreliable such as the solution suggested by #RoyaumeIX, however ended up with failure.
So is it with using
pip install opencv
pip install opencv-contrib
Installing opencv-contrib does not properly register the opencv package.
I strongly suggest that you directly download the official whl file and install it.
I also had same problem but it got resolved by following these steps:
start anaconda navigator
open CMD.exe prompt, hope you see this **(base) C:\Users\acer>** this may be different for you
write these command >>>**pip install opencv-contrib-python**
Now you can run your code as check!! I have runned my code in Spyder in base enviroment and it worked for me!
my using python 2.7 and opencv 3.3.0
working in code
cv2.face.LBPHFaceRecognizer_create();
Solution, as were found at OpenCV forum (and same at StackOverflow), works well for me:
pip install opencv-python
pip install opencv_contrib_python
And in cv2 version 4.0.0 face recogniser can be created by using different function name, as mentionted above:
face_recognizer = cv2.face.LBPHFaceRecognizer_create()
face_recognizer = cv2.face.EigenFaceRecognizer_create()
face_recognizer = cv2.face.FisherFaceRecognizer_create()
this should fix the problem
pip install opencv-python-headless
pip install opencv-contrib-python-headless
I found the solution to my issue, you have to follow this tutorial OpenCV with extra modules.
The essential steps are:
Go to C:/PythonXX/lib/site-packeges (the site-packages folder where your python is installed), and delete cv2.pyd if present.
Download OpenCV with extra modules
Create a Visual Studio project with CMake
Open Python IDLE and enter import cv2. If there is no error, then the installation is successful.

Installing NumPy and SciPy on 64-bit Windows (with Pip)

I found out that it's impossible to install NumPy/SciPy via installers on Windows 64-bit, that's only possible on 32-bit. Because I need more memory than a 32-bit installation gives me, I need the 64-bit version of everything.
I tried to install everything via Pip and most things worked. But when I came to SciPy, it complained about missing a Fortran compiler. So I installed Fortran via MinGW/MSYS. But you can't install SciPy right away after that, you need to reinstall NumPy. So I tried that, but now it doesn't work anymore via Pip nor via easy_install. Both give these errors:
There are a lot of errors about LNK2019 and LNK1120,.
I get a lot of errors in the range of C: C2065,C2054,C2085,C2143`, etc. They belong together I believe.
There is no Fortran linker found, but I have no idea how to install that, can't find anything on it.
And many more errors which are already out of the visible part of my cmd-windows...
The fatal error is about LNK1120:
build\lib.win-amd64-2.7\numpy\linalg\lapack_lite.pyd : fatal error LNK1120: 7 unresolved externals
error: Setup script exited with error: Command "C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Programs\Common\Microsoft\Visual C++ for Python\9.0\VC\Bin\amd64\link.exe /DLL /nologo /INCREMENTAL:NO /LIBPATH:C:\BLAS /LIBPATH:C:\Python27\libs /LIBPATH:C:\Python27\PCbuild\amd64 /LIBPATH:build\temp.win-amd64-2.7 lapack.lib blas.lib /EXPORT:initlapack_lite build\temp.win-amd64-2.7\Release\numpy\linalg\lapack_litemodule.obj /OUT:build\lib.win-amd64-2.7\numpy\linalg\lapack_lite.pyd /IMPLIB:build\temp.win-amd64-2.7\Release\numpy\linalg\lapack_lite.lib /MANIFESTFILE:build\temp.win-amd64-2.7\Release\numpy\linalg\lapack_lite.pyd.manifest" failed with exit status 1120
What is the correct way to install the 64-bit versions NumPy and SciPy on a 64-bit Windows machine? Did I miss anything? Do I need to specify something somewhere? There is no information for Windows on these problems that I can find, only for Linux or Mac OS X, but they don't help me as I can't use their commands.
You can install scipy and numpy using their wheels.
First install wheel package if it's already not there...
pip install wheel
Just select the package you want from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy
Example: if you're running python3.5 32 bit on Windows choose scipy-0.18.1-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl then it will automatically download.
Then go to the command line and change the directory to the downloads folder and install the above wheel using pip.
Example:
cd C:\Users\[user]\Downloads
pip install scipy-0.18.1-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
EDIT: The Numpy project now provides pre-compiled packages in the wheel format (package format enabling compiled code as binary in packages), so the installation is now as easy as with other packages.
Numpy (as also some other packages like Scipy, Pandas etc.) includes lot's of C-, Cython, and Fortran code that needs to be compiled properly, before you can use it. This is, btw, also the reason why these Python-packages provide such fast Linear Algebra.
To get precompiled packages for Windows, have a look at Gohlke's Unofficial Windows Binaries or use a distribution like Winpython (just works) or Anaconda (more complex) which provide an entire preconfigured environment with lots of packages from the scientific python stack.
Installing with pip
You can install the numpy and scipy wheels on Windows with pip in one step if you use the appropriate link from Gohlke's Unofficial Windows Binaries (mentioned by sebix) and run the Windows command prompt as Administrator. For example, in Python 3.5, you would simply use something like this:
# numpy-1.9.3+mkl for Python 3.5 on Win AMD64
pip3.5 install http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/xmshzit7/numpy-1.9.3+mkl-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl
# scipy-0.16.1 for Python 3.5 on Win AMD64
pip3.5 install http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/xmshzit7/scipy-0.16.1-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl
Best solution for this is to download and install VCforPython2.7 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266
Then try pip install numpy
Downloading the binaries for 64-bit from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/, and installing it directly with pip in this order:
pip install numpy-1.12.0+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win64.whl
pip install scipy-0.18.1-cp36-cp36m-win64.whl
pip install matplotlib-2.0.0-cp36-cp36m-win64.whl
Note that you must place command prompt in the folder where you put the .whl files after downloading them, and you must run it as administrator,
worked for me on Windows 10 64-bit now python is up and running.
You can now pip install numpy on Windows!
"Note: this page has only historical relevance, you can now pip-install for windows"

Intel provides pre-compiled Python modules for free in their "Intel Distribution for Python". The modules are compiled against Intel's MKL (Math Kernel Library) and thus optimized for faster performance. The package includes NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn, pandas, matplotlib, Numba, tbb, pyDAAL, Jupyter, and others. Find more information and the download link here
If you are on windows , you wouldn't need wheel anyway! You can directly install package by downloading the 32-bit package as win32 from this link [http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy] and then move that downloaded package to cmd's current directory and open cmd and write following codepip install numpy-1.13.1+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl then do it same for scipy
For 64-bit you need to install mingw-w64 as it is gcc and compiles numpy and scipy as precompiled status.
Currently it works fine with 32-bit.So I had opted for win32 package both for numpy+mkl and scipy in that link.
Hope This works! Give a try
You can download the needed packages from here and use pip install "Abc.whl" from the directory where you have downloaded the file.
Look into python wheels to solve your problem. The best part of python wheels is that they let you install C extensions with no compilers. I just installed numpy and scipy using pip in a clean python install and they both worked fine.
for python 3.6, the following worked for me
launch cmd.exe as administrator
pip install numpy-1.13.0+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win32
pip install scipy-0.19.1-cp36-cp36m-win32
Package version are very important.
I found some stable combination that works on my Windows10 64 bit machine:
pip install numpy-1.12.0+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win64.whl
pip install scipy-0.18.1-cp36-cp36m-win64.whl
pip install matplotlib-2.0.0-cp36-cp36m-win64.whl
Source.
Hey I had the same issue.
You can find all the packages in the link below:
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scikit-learn
And choose the package you need for your version of windows and python.
You have to download the file with whl extension. After that, you will copy the file into your python directory then run the following command:
py -3.6 -m pip install matplotlib-2.1.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
Here is an example when I wanted to install matplolib for my python 3.6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzV4N4XUvYc
and this is the video I followed.
Follow these steps:
Open CMD as administrator
Enter this command : cd..
cd..
cd Program Files\Python38\Scripts
Download the package you want and put it in Python38\Scripts folder.
pip install packagename.whl
Done
You can write your python version instead of "38"

Installing PySide without PIP

I'm trying to install PySide on my work computer. I got everything installed at home which was simple enough. However at work I'm stuck behind a firewall which I can't get around and therefore can't install PIP.
Is there a binary for PySide that I might be able to use or any other solution?
Thanks!
OS is Win 7 32-bit
Also I'm using Python 3.4
You will find it here (it is an executable):
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyside
Enjoy! :)
You can download the wheel distribution from PyPI [1] and install with PIP offline.
And you don't loose the benefits of installing packages via PIP.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PySide#downloads
Here is direct link to package for your system and python version: https://pypi.python.org/packages/3.4/P/PySide/PySide-1.2.2-cp34-none-win32.whl
