Installing SciPy for Python 3.7 on Mac Os High Sierra

please help installing SciPy. I think i've tried almost any advice i could find, but still no luck.
I am using Mac High OS Sierra 10.13.1, python 3.7, trying to make this work for IntellIJ IDEA 2017.2 IDE. I have Xcode version 9.2 if that helps.
I've tried instaling from IDE, using package installer -> fails with error status code 1.
I've tried installing using pip3 install scipy
I've installed brew install gcc ( I have version 7.2.0 installed)
I've installed numpy.
I've tried to install using Macports as suggested on official site - didn't help.
I've tried to instal using brew install scipy.
I've tried to install using Conda. It installed somewhere to Conda Dir, but i still cannot access library from python file using import scipy, error: No module named scipy.
Looks like i am just going in loops now, can some one suggest any idea please?
Topics i researched:
SciPy build/install Mac Osx
Can't install Scipy through pip
"failed with error code 1" while installing scipy
Some other ones i lost links to.

Ok looks like i made it work.
This thread: helped me.
It appeared I was actaully able to install scipy package using conda. But my Python didn't see the package. So i had to:
Change Right Click on my project in IDE > Project > New > Python SDK > Add Local
Select Python in Conda dir. In my case it was /Users/[my user ]/miniconda3/bin/python3.6
Restart IDE just in case and my python script was able to see import scipy.
The downside of this - that I cannot install packages the clean way from IDE anymore for some reason. I.e. Tools > Manage Python Packages > + > doesn't find any. And I have to reinstall all the packages i had using conda install [package name] from terminal . But I am fine with it, as long as it works.
Hopefully my quest might be useful for someone.

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.

getting python pyobcd installed

I'm a little lost on how to get pyodbc installed in my computer.
I have python 3.6.1
The link
http://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000011656
pointed me to another link
https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc
Which is vague.
I'm used to downloading and running an exe for install.
This link is unclear and says all I have to do is:
"pip install pyodbc"
What exactly do I need to do to get this working?

Since you have not mentioned which OS you are using,
I will assume that you are on windows (as you have mentioned that you are used to install using .exe).
Firstly you need to know what a pip is:
pip is basically a package manager for python packages used to install 3 rd party packages which do not bundle along with the python distribution.
On linux pip comes pre installed also if you are using python version 3.4 onwards or python 2.7.9 you will be having pip pre installed on your system.
All you have to do it to open the command prompt issue the command
pip install package-name(pyobdc here)
it will do the job.
If you do not find pip in your distribution you can refer this link
How do I install pip on Windows?

open cmd in your computer and type
pip install pyobdc

Hello there and welcome to python programming. Basically python comes with its package installer so either you can go to any interpreter that you are using and type pip install pyobdc or use the command prompt in windows and type in pip install pyobdc. This would install your module and just remember to put import pyobdc at the top of the code if you want to use this package. Further information can be found on here

How to add a package to python in Visual Studio 2017

I just installed the new VS2017 Preview and imported a Python project. This project has many import statements but VS2017 does show error in some import packages like cv2, socketio, eventlet, eventlet.wsgi. This Python project runs fine, out of VS2017, in my Anaconda environment. Do I need to install OpenCV 2, socketio, etc in Windows? Or is there a solution like pip, anaconda, apt-get, in the VS2017 environment that can automate the installation of unresolved package?
I also noticed that it is possible to add Anaconda to VS project created. Can this Anaconda inside VS help to install the missing packages?
Regards.

You can, however it is not perfect.
Firstly you need to bring up the Python Environments menu which can be accessed by going:
Tools -> Python -> Python Environments
It should bring up a sidebar (depending on how you have VS setup). There should be a dropdown box about half way down with the text "Overview". Click on that and you can select "Packages". This will bring up a textbox under it that will allow you to use standard pip commands to install packages.
If you are on Windows though there is one added step for some packages though. As pip does not work well on Windows, due to the fact that the standard Windows package site (PyPI) does not yet have Windows wheels for a lot of common packages.
Therefore, you are best off going to Christoph Gohlke's unofficial package site and then downloading the package you need. Once it's downloaded locally just copy and paste the LOCAL address into the textbox under "Packages". It will then install the package and you'll be good to go.

I had same problem and i could get it working with visual studio 2017 python v3.6 using following instructions
Install appropriate .whl file using this link
(cpMN where you have Python M.N). contrib includes OpenCV-extra packages. For example, assuming you have Python 3.6, you might download **opencv_python-3.2.0+contrib-cp36-none-win_amd64.whl**
link to download
Then install it by running this command from installed folder
pip install opencv_python-3*win_amd64.whl

Failure to build wheel / "Error: INCLUDE Environment Variable is empty"

I am using Python 2.7.11 and am trying to pip install modules however a few of them are failing. The message I get is "Failure to build wheel for 'X'" and "Error: INCLUDE Environment Variable is empty".
I tried to install Scrapy, LXML and Twisted and those failed. Some other random modules I tried installed fine.
I have installed pyOpenSSL, added python27 and python27/scripts to environment.
Thanks,

I tried both the solutions offered, none worked.
I installed Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7, download it here. Then run:
pip install scrapy
That worked for me

A quick solution is to install the pre-compiled version of lxml. You can find it here. If you use the .exe you can point it directly to your python root folder.
After that:
close and re-open cmd
pip install your_package (make sure cmd is in the correct directory)
enjoy having no frustrating lxml errors!
Hope this helped.

Use a pre built library from this link if you are on windows:
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
Choose the relevant library given python version and desktop config. For example
I want to install apell in python 3.6 and winamd64 then download this:
aspell_python-1.15-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
Now go to your console and type
pip install path-to-.whl
and that's it.
