I am trying to download the random module and was wondering if I copy a code and put it in a file editor, how do I go about installing it through pip? I placed the code in notepad and saved it on my desktop as random.py. What do I do now so that I can get this in installed through anaconda? I tried pip install random.py but it says the package is not found. Is there perhaps a zip file of the random module that I can install?
Just type in:
pip install random
It should work fine !
But the random module should be present by default with anaconda. Make sure you are importing it right by typing (without a capital letter):
import random
If using python3, it will simply be
pip3 install random
as #Remi stated.
Use pip install random. That works with every Python distribution.

I am trying to use the Scratch library.
For example:
from scratch.probability import normal_cdf
from scratch.linear_algebra import Vector, dot
#...
I installed Scratch using pip install scratch but I receive this error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scratch'.
Can you help me?
pip install scratch will install this: https://pypi.org/project/scratch/
But I guess that what you want to use is that: https://github.com/joelgrus/data-science-from-scratch
The second one is not meant to be installed through pip but used directly in a clone of the project as documented in its README.
About pip install scratch-probability (https://pypi.org/project/scratch-probability/#description), as it's not documented, you need to go check the content of the tarball to know how the package inside are named (if they are what's expected).
I'm having a problem with PIL where vs code says there is no module named PIL when there is. If I run the file without vs code the module imports fine. In the vs code problem tab it says this:
import PIL could not be resolved from source. Pylance(reportmissingmodulesource)
I know the library is installed because if I do pip install pillow, it says requirement already satisfied.
Things I've tried to fix it: reinstalling python, uninstalling and reinstalling pillow, upgrading pip, installing the PIL library(pip install Pillow-PIL).
None of these things worked so I am out of ideas for things to try. Could someone help me with this?
This part is important:
If I run the file without vs code the module imports fine
If something like this happens, then you are not running the same python interpreter, because modules are always installed to specific installations of python that you have.
Do the following:
Add to your script the first two lines
import sys
print(sys.executable)
This will print the path to the python executable that is interpreting that script. If you now run this script with and without vs code, it should print two different python paths. Now you can install to the python interpreter that is being used by vs code specifically by typing
/path/to/python/used/by/vs/code/python -m pip install pillow
in case someone stil has this problem on Mac or it didn't work, I used the code "python3 -m pip install pillow" in my vs code in terminal below but I had different code "from PIL import ImageTk,Image"
If anyone stumbles upon this problem and can't figure out what's wrong:
the first thing to do is simply restarting the Visual Studio Code instance.
That worked for me after running pip3 install Pillow from the VSCode terminal.
How about this?
pip install Pillow
For reference: https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/
I installed wordcloud package for my 64 bit windows 10 system with anaconda python 3.5
using python -m pip install D:\folder\wordcloud-1.5.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
command.
It has been successfully installed.
But when I am trying to import from wordcloud import WordCloud,STOPWORDS, I am getting error.Please check this:
Has it something to do with the path of wordcloud-1.5.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl file as I have placed it in some random folder?
Thank you in advance.
The simplest way to trace the error is to import the package (which apparently works) with import wordcloud and then list all members of the package with help(wordcloud). Check if the version and functions match your expectations. Check if it also matches the documentation of your package.
I suspect that the name of the WordCloudclass was simply changed.
If you miss functions then your package is broken. If the version number is wrong then you downloaded an old package. Use the Anaconda Navigator that usually comes with Anaconda to reinstall the package. If you do not have the Navigator use whatever package manager you have.
I am running Windows 7 and using Python 2.7.
I have installed openpyxl using easy_install. It looks like the installation was successful. I changed the directory and fired up Python.
>>> import openpyxl
>>>
So, this should mean that Python is able to find openpyxl. However, when I execute a simple test program excell_tutorial1.py and run it, I get the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Python27/playground/excell_tutorial1.py", line 7, in <module>
from openpyxl import Workbook
ImportError: No module named openpyxl
Very confusing! It could find it in prompt line but not in the program!
import os, sys
the_module ="C:\\Python27\\Lib\\site-packages\\openpyxl-2.3.3-py2.7.egg\\openpyxl"
if the_module not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(the_module)
if the_module in sys.path:
print sys.path.index(the_module)
print sys.path[18]
so, this gives me:
18
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\openpyxl-2.3.3-py2.7.egg\openpyxl
Anyone can think of what the problem might be?
Much appreciated
I had the same problem solved using instead of pip or easy install one of the following commands :
sudo apt-get install python-openpyxl
sudo apt-get install python3-openpyxl
The sudo command also works better for other packages.
While not quite what you ran into here (since you state that you are using python 2.7), for those who run into this issue and are using python 3, you may be unintentionally installing to python 2 instead. To force the install to python 3 (instead of 2) use pip3 instead.
See this thread for more info:
No module named 'openpyxl' - Python 3.4 - Ubuntu
Try deleting all openpyxl material from C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\
Once you do that try reinstalling it using pip. (This what worked for me)
At times this can be a simple permission issue. As it was in my case. I installed it in my local directory with my login.
python ./setup.py install
but some of the other user were not able to import the module.
They were getting this error:
ImportError: No module named openpyxl
Hence I simply gave exe permission to 'others'
chmod -R 755
That solves the problem at least in my case.
Go to the directory where pip is installed, for eg.C:\Python27\Scripts and open cmd (simply type cmd in address bar ). Now run the command "pip install openpyxl". It will install the package itself. Hope this will solve your problem.
Try this:
!pip install openpyxl
I had the same issue on 3.8.2
I found out that python was installed in two locations on my machine (probably py and python, just a guess)
Here:
C:\Users<userAccount>\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8\LocalCache\local-packages\Python38
and Here:
C:\Python38
I deleted the one in my C drive and everything is working well now. I would double check to see where your packages are getting installed first, before deleting. Which ever one is being used, keep that one.
For this case, check to see where this package got installed:
C:\Users\<userAccount>\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8\LocalCache\local-packages\Python38\site-packages\openpyxl
keep that directory.
What worked for me was to open the terminal as an administrator, cd to the 'scripts' file of where python (different for each version) is stored, and then install using pip:
cd C:\Users\Salfa\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Scripts
pip install openpyxl
This resolved the problem for me.
Please only respond to this post if you use Python on Windows, rather than Mac or Linux.
Error message:
>>> import numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "stdin", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'numpy'
Questions:
Regarding windows 7, python 3.4.3 and numpy-1.9.2, are there any
conflicts that would prevent these from working together?
Into which directory (please write out the complete directory path
starting with "C:") should I extract the contents of the numpy zip
file?
What is the exact command that I need to type into python command
prompt in order to install numpy?
Thanks in advance for your assistance
I was also facing this issue where in I tried using
import numpy
But it has given me error "ImportError: No module named 'numpy'"
I installed numpy using "C:\user>python -mpip install numpy" and it was successfully installed.
However I was again getting the same error
Then I checked that the path where in numpy was intalled was not listed in
import sys
print(sys.path)
Then I appended my path wherein numpy was installed using ">>> sys.path.append(r"C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python38\site-packages").
The above command worked fine, still problem not resolved then I restarted my python session again.
Finally it worked..!!!!(As after every append we have to restart our python session).
1) No there isn't.
2) You can use pip. pip install numpy
If you don't have pip installed, install it, its the most often used way of installing python packages. Yes it is possible to do under windows.
3) Once you have the python command prompt, you already have python installed.
1) no
2) It doesn't actually matter as pip or the installer will figure that out for you. However, just so you know, pip or whatever will install numpy into your site-packages folder.
3) I recommend downloading the NumPy installer from SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.9.2/
Then you don't have to worry about having the right compiler installed. However, if you want to use pip, then you'll need to install the appropriate compiler. This is documented at the following locations:
Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 3.4
https://matthew-brett.github.io/pydagogue/python_msvc.html
I'm not even close to an expert on Python. That said, I like the notion of "keep it simple." I chose to install a Python distribution that already includes numpy. Specifially I installed Python(x,y). Everything seems to be working just fine right after install. I appreciate all those who commented on my question. Thanks
