Install Matlab Engine for Python 3.4.5 - python

I need to install the Matlab engine for Python 3.4.5 in an Anaconda environment.
When I try to install the Matlab engine with the following command:
sudo python setup.py install --prefix="/home/<<my user>>/anaconda3"
It creates another folder named python2.7 and inside it creates all the necessary files and folders:
/home/<<my user>>/anaconda3/lib/python2.7/site-packages
When I run which command and the python one they return
which python
/home/<<my user>>/anaconda3/bin/python
python
Python 3.4.5 |Anaconda 4.3.0 (64-bit)
So the system points towards the correct Python version
I even check what version the setup.py finds and it is 3.4
What do I miss?
Cheers,
Dan

I don't know what exactly the issue is, can you import the matlab engine?
If it doesn't work most likely the problem is when you install the engine on a different python environment (in this case the one from Anaconda), you need to link the library from this environment.
On linux you can do:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/<<my user>>/anaconda3/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
On Mac:
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/<<my user>>/anaconda3/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"
That should work, otherwise you can follow this link.

How to install matlabengine (Windows 10, MATLAB R2020b, Python 3.8.10)

I have the following environment:
Windows 10
Python 3.8.10
MATLAB R2020b
I'm trying to install matlabengine (pip install matlabengine) package, and I'm getting the following error:
RuntimeError: No compatible MATLAB installation found in Windows Registry. This release of MATLAB Engine API for Python is compatible with version 9.13. The found versions were 9.9
What am I missing ? (according to https://pypi.org/project/matlabengine/) it seems I'm using the right versions.
How can I check the versions I have (9.9 or 9.13 because as I wrote above I have MATLAB R2020b and Python 3.8.10).
The error is about the MATLAB version, not the version of matlabengine (the Python module).
You wrote that you have MATLAB 2020b. That is the release name for MATLAB version 9.9, as can be seen in this table on Wikipedia.
As can be read on the description of matlabengine 9.13.1, this engine version requires MATLAB release R2022b (= 9.13).
To use matlabengine with MATLAB 2020b, install version 9.9.1:
python -m pip install matlabengine==9.9.1
You need to try all versions of MATLAB engine starting from the latest one going backwards. What worked for me on Ubuntu was
$ python -m pip install matlabengine==9.12.17
NB: To get a list of all the possible versions, try install one that doesn't exist e.g.
$ python -m pip install matlabengine==9.9.2
and it will give you an error with the list of possible versions.
You can try to install specific version of matlabengine.
pip install matlabengine==9.13.1
If they cannot find your version, you might need to update pip.
Also, you can check your current matlabengine version.
pip show matlabengine

I have a error on installing CPLEX 12.10 to Python 3.8

I am trying to install CPLEX studio 12.10 to Python 3.8. I'm using Visual studio code editor.
Referring to https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSSA5P_12.8.0/ilog.odms.cplex.help/CPLEX/GettingStarted/topics/set_up/Python_setup.html, I use the command "python setup.py install --home C:\Program Files\IBM\ILOG\CPLEX_Studio1210\cplex\python\3.7\x64_win64". But error " can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory" is appeared.
How to solve this problem?. I also checked that setup.py is in the above folder.
You need to find setup.py first by going the folder that CPLEX is installed (use the path you wrote after install --home). Furthermore, the path after install --home is to the directory where your Python is installed. See this answer for details.
Also, CPLEX 12.10 doesn't support Python 3.8 for now.
There is a workaround for this problem if you are able to modify the underlying python library shipped with CPLEX. Essentially, the python interface is the same, but the program will check your python version and prevent you from installing and using it if the version does not match.
Go to /path/to/installation/cplex/python, you should see 2 directories (3.6 and 3.7). Make a copy of 3.7 and rename it as your python version, for example, 3.8 or 3.9. In /path/to/installation/cplex/python/<your_python_version>/<your_os>/setup.py and /path/to/installation/cplex/python/<your_python_version>/<your_os>/cplex/_internal/_pycplex_platform.py, remove the code that checks python version.
The above is tested on x86_64 Linux with python 3.9.2 using the official docplex library (you will need to export an environmental variable, see the official documentation). I suppose if you run setup.py to install the cplex python libaray, it should also work. Beware this is not officially supported, and do it at your own risk.

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"' in python

I had python 2.7 before and then I installed python 3.4.The OS is windows 10
I have renamed
C:\python27\python.exe to python2.exe (when I run python2 --version it shows correct version)
and
C:\python34\python.exe to python3.exe (when I run python3 --version it shows correct version)
I have set the path variable manually and there is no space etc.
I was trying to create a virtual environment and assign python34 to this new environment.
I was going through this SO reference -- Using VirtualEnv with multiple Python versions on windows
prompt>> virtualenv -p c:\Python34\python3.exe casenv
But I got an error--
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"'
Do I need to install virtualenv again for python34 or somewhere I need to set virtualenv path for each python installation.
Any help is highly welcomed.
In my case, i had installed python 3.6 and uninstalled python 2.7 when i got this error.
Completely deleting the C:\Python2.7 directory did the trick.
This error is usually caused because of python directory of different versions stored at same location.
i.e in my case I was using python 3.5.X for development and when I updated to 3.7.6 I got this error.
People on internet suggest that it is because of pip but main cause is 2 or more python directory.
The following steps should fix it:
Uninstall previous python version (or use virtual environment if you want to play with multiple python version)
Delete the python directory you are not using (as it causes confusion for terminal to understand which python path it should pick to execute the command)
and this should fix the error of
fatal error in launcher unable to create process using ' '
Pip version: 10.0.0
Python version: 3.6.5 64 bit
Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1, 64-bit
Description:
After upgrading pip to the version 10.0.0 (from Pycharm, that is using pip as a package) any attempts to start updated pip cause an error:
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '""c:\program files\python 3.6\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\Python 3.6\Scripts\pip.EXE"'
Command python -m pip works as expected.
I found text "Fatal error in launcher" only in executables:
src\pip_vendor\distlib\t32.exe
src\pip_vendor\distlib\t64.exe
and in the pip.exe itself.
After
python -m pip uninstall pip
easy_install.exe pip
error disappeared.
It is interesting, that initially pip.exe had almost the same size as t64.exe, now it significantly shorter.
If someone came after installing a newer version like 3.X and uninstalled the older version, what you need to do is to delete the old version's folder from C Drive.
Clean Fix (Windows)
The fastest way to fix the issue you were facing is to uninstall and reinstall.
Why it happened?
You probably moved the directory where python was installed.
You probably have both environmental variables listed in Environmental Variables.
Things to consider
You can only use 1 active version of python at a time if you use the MSI installer.
If you downloaded the zip file of Python, you can have unlimited versions in your computer BUT you can only have 1 active version under Environmental Variables.
You can always use any version of Python explicitly by writing the direct path to the specific location of the version of Python.

I cannot install dipy library for python, why ? In the description I explain what I did

I went to http://nipy.org/dipy/installation.html and install nibabel, then I when I wanted to install dipy, there where 2 problems:
Wheel was not built
and vcvarshall.bat not found.
What I did ?
Install Setuptools in site-pakcages
download Setuptools-34.3.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (md5) and save in site-packages
I also try
python setup.py install --compiler=mingw32รง
and
If you get an error saying unable to find vcvarsall.bat then you need to create a file called pydistutils.cfg in notepad and give it the contents
[build]
compiler=mingw32
But setup.py de system it did not find, and I still have vcvarshall.bat not found.
what I need to do?
I am using, Windows 7, Python 3.5.1 and Anaconda 2.5.0 (64 bit)
You will almost certainly find it easier to install third-party packages if you adopt virtual environments. When done correctly you will then not need admin privileges to install packages into virtualenvs. The HitchHikers' Guide to Python contains more information about this.
The vcvarsall.bat is, I believe, a part of the Visual Studio (the Express version is available at no cost) environment. It's required when you are trying to build a compiled Python extension as described in this article. I'm not sure how that will play with mingw.
So, I installed via ANACONDA but , when I go to python, and I want to import dipy it says: No modle named dipy
Solved ! Well I had python 3.5 and dipy has some issues with that version, so I installed Anaconda with python 2.7 , installed visual c++9 and follow the steps on the web !

Homebrew failing to install postgresql; python 64-bit errors

I'm getting errors when running
$ brew install postgresql

Here's where python is located.
$ which python

I modified my ~/.zshrc PATH from
export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11/bin
to
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11/bin
And although I'm getting python 64-bit errors, my version of python is 64-bit according to this SO post:
$ python -c 'import struct;print( 8 * struct.calcsize("P"))'
64
The problem pointed out in the referenced mailing list post is that the configure step isn't impacted by the PATH here. There's a whole other mechanism used to find things to link against; see Where do I set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on Mac OS X for a quick intro. You could try the suggested workaround given by the brew script--rename /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/Python to something else to get it out of the linker's search path, repeat the brew install, then put it back.
If you don't need Python bindings in your PostgreSQL, you can also just install it without Python bindings using brew install postgresql --no-python.
This command is installing the server, not the python bindings. Is that what you want? There is a installer for osx that will install the server for you.
Once you have done that, you can install the psycopg2 bindings directly from source.
