Is it possible to use socketCAN protocol on MacOS

I am looking to connect to a car wirelessly using socketCAN protocol on MacOS using the module python-can on python3. I don't know how to install the socketCAN protocol on MacOS. Pls help.

This cat managed to get it basically working:
socketcanx
I have compiled it on my hackintosh (running Mojave) and it works from the terminal. I have not played around with it more than that, as it was just easier to use Liunx in a VM or docker or one of my Linux machines. When compiled, I was able to use all of my makeshift CAN devices and a USB2CAN device without issue. I am sure with some work, it can be used with Python-CAN, though you would need to write your own interface module for Python-CAN. As far as I can tell, it should work more or less the same, though the code is old (4 years since last update).
As stated in the accepted answer, you can use a native CAN device that is compatible with macOS and as long as it's compatible with Python-CAN, then you are good to go (or if it works on mac and not compatible, you can create and interface for the device and submit a pull-request on github for Python-CAN).

SocketCAN is implemented only for the Linux kernel. So it is not available on other operating systems. But as long as your CAN adapter is supported by python-can, you don't need SocketCAN.

Generate and execute python both on non-python machine

Short version:
Is it possible to create a standalone program that can be distributed to computers that don't have python installed, which writes a python script during runtime and executes it during or shortly after?
Long version:
A project I've been wanting to do for a while is to create a visual programming interface, that lets people use Machine Learning without needing to know python/keras/numpy syntax. Programs like lobe or rapidminer already do this, but they are all bound to their own interfaces and servers. What i would like to do is create a program that:
anyone can use without needing python/anaconda installed
allow the user to create visual scripts like in scratch or google-blocs
generates python code behind the scenes containing keras or tf code
is able to execute the script
is able to show the code to the user for:
educational purposes
allowing the user to use it as a base for a more complex program
Since the generation part would just need to create a text file almost any interface and language like python/java using Qt or C# / javascript using Unity, would qualify. I think that should definitely be doable, probably just very long, but that is not my largest concern.
The problem:
I have tried to search everywhere on the internet about things like standalone python programs which led me to for instance py2exe. Those kind of python-to-exe's work great, but they all require the script to be compiled on a machine containing a python environment. In my case i want to be able to generate a python script on the user's PC, and run it directly after from there.
The alternative
If this isn't possible i might just create the whole AI part myself, not using python nor libraries like keras or tensorflow, but in a unity game for instance. The downside to this would be that it exists already(like rapidminer), it would be less optimized/versatile/customizable and doesn't show what the "real" machine learning script would look.
If there are any other alternatives i would be happy to hear them
PS.
I have mostly Python & Keras, moderate Java and little Unity3D or web JS experience
I'm using Windows with anaconda
Distributing to linux/mac would be nice, but not required

maybe you should check the Orange Data Mining software, it's written in python and it has the same purpose as your project (https://orange.biolab.si/). On the other hand, some time ago I tried to compile my app that contains machine learning libraries but to date, I have not been able to achieve it. Instead, what I use is the WINPYTHON project, this is a portable Anaconda software that allows you to run projects on any PC without the need to install anything (https://winpython.github.io/).

Yes, it is possible!
I had the same requirement, so I wrote my visual programming language and IDE...
...that could generate an almost python-like script, and which is compiled natively inside the app, without the use of any external compilers or libraries.
My target architecture was mobile devices, but it also works on browsers via the unity plugin.
...and yes, that's correct, it runs natively on your phone or tablet in a simulated sandbox, with its own built-in IDE.
It's written in C#, and implemented in Unity3d

How to control Enttec Open DMX USB via Python?

I'm wondering is that possible to control lights connected to Enttec Open DMX USB via Python shell. If it is, how to?

The Open Lighting Project (formerly known as opendmx) provides a Python API, as part of their Open Lighting Architecture (OLA), for use the OpenDMX USB on OSX and Linux. If you're on Windows then I've not found anything apart from the code from Enttec's website which uses the FTD2XX.DLL libraries.
However it should be noted that one cannot use normal serial based libraries (pyserial etc). Basically OLA either needs to use a special kernel module on Linux, or use the generic FTDI non-serial kernel driver in combination with libftdi on Mac or Linux - for details see their device specific page. There is now pre-built support for Raspberry Pi's on the OLA website.
The communication and protocols used are completely different from Enttec Pro range (which one can just control using simple serial commands with something like pyserial, though OLA also talks to them too).

I know this is quite an old post, however DmxPy has worked very well for me the last few months. It only works for Python 2 but I know there's some Python 3 ports out there.
It's stupid simple to use. I personally use it in my companies quality control software. While it only work for DMX (not RDM) I think it's much easier to use than OLA's Python Wrapper. It works flawlessly with our ENTTEC as well!
UPDATE: Here's my Python 3 port: https://github.com/trevordavies095/DmxPy

I had the exact same problem, so I wrote a simple python programm for all those that are running windows; have a look: https://github.com/Coronon/PyOpenDmxUsb
It uses a C# Server (Because their C# interface was the only one that worked for me) and a Python Client and is super easy to use.
It is compatible with the non pro version too. (The Pro Version is way easier to use and I would use the AcceptedAnswer instead [But the normal one isnt supported])
Edit: This may be 'advertisement' but my project is Open-Source and super easy to use, so I believe this can be useful to others :)

Python IDE for Windows 8 RT?

Is there a python ide for Windows RT? Or is there a way to download 3rd party IDEs that can work on RT? There is one in the market place called "Python 3 for Metro" but it is nothing like the IDE I use on my desktop called "PyScripter".
Anyone have any advice? Maybe decent online IDEs?

You could look into Code Writer.

Time is gone a whlie.
But now it's possible, to run Python 2.7 on Surface RT.
All what you have to do is to set you Surface rt in developermode, as followed:
https://github.com/VNNGYN/Windows-RT-8.1-Development-Tool
you than get Surface rt run in test mode.
In testmode you can sign all the already ported application, there are avaible on net.
To sign the appclication with a cert, you can use:
https://github.com/VNNGYN/Windows-RT-8.1-Development-Tool/wiki/How-do-I-sign-an-application%3F
than all the application, like python 2.7 can run under Standard mode.
https://github.com/VNNGYN/Windows-RT-8.1-Development-Tool/wiki/How-do-I-sign-an-application%3F
and there you will find Notepad++, which is the best to generate python scripts
enjoy

Using Python for a Wacom tablet on Mac & Linux

I am shortly going to buy a Wacom Bamboo Pen&Touch, and I'd like to be able to access it from Python, preferably using PyQt. I've found a Python module for accessing it under windows (cgkit/wintab) and I've seen Python code for accessing it using GTK (GnomeTabletApps).
Is there an equivalent for Mac? The Cocoa documentation provided by Wacom is way beyond me.

PySide's QTabletEvent works on Mac. I have also used it on Ubuntu.
