I am trying to install the 'TA_Lib-0.4.9-cp27-*.whl' file with powershell (windows). I receive the message 'file ... looks like a filename, but the file does not exist'.
I run 'pip install C:\Programs\TA_Lib-0.4.9-cp27-*.whl' from C:\Programs> where the whl file is located.
I use python 2.7, yet I also tried with file 'TA_Lib-0.4.9-cp34-*.whl' with same result.
I looked online and at SO, for similar cases, but so far everything I tried keeps giving me the same red error message 'TA_Lib-0.4.9-cp27-*.whl is not a valid wheel filename'.
EDIT:
the full message I receive in powershell is the following:
'Requirement 'C:\Programs\TA_Lib-0.4.9-cp27-.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist
TA_Lib-0.4.9-cp27-.whl is not a valid wheel filename.'
Thank you for your help and suggestions.
What ended up working for me is to write the full name of the file, instead of using '*' after the beginning of the file name. 'pip install' command works fine with the full name of the wheel (.whl) file - in this instance.

I'm attempting to use the Python module pydeps (installed with mamba install pydeps) to analyze the dependencies in my project. However, when I run the command pydeps main.py (perhaps "main.py" is not the most informative script name ever), I get the following output:
<pydeps_folder>/pystdlib.py:17: UserWarning: stdlib_list does't support Python 3.10 yet, pydeps will use symbols from 3.9 for now.
warnings.warn(
ERROR: While opening '<working_directory>/main.svg': [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'xdg-open' (can be caused by not finding the program to open this file)
When I then run the command firefox main.svg, I see a graph containing some of the files in my project, but not all of them, so it seems like pydeps succeeded partially. Do I need xdg-open for pydeps to work? Or is there any way I can make pydeps work by telling it to just generate the svg file and not try to open it?
Answer
xdg-open in this context is used to open the main.svg resulting file. It is a linux utility that opens a file or URL with a preferred/default application. (i.e jpg -> image viewer). In this case it tries to open main.svg with your preferred image/svg file viewer.
It sounds like it errors out when trying to open the final result main.svg, which is what you're doing by executing:
firefox main.svg
Therefore I don't think its a partial result of the dependencies.

I am having a tough time overcoming this error, I have searched everywhere for that error message and nothing seems relevant to my situation:
"failed to execute script new-app"
new-app is my python GUI program. When I run pyinstaller using this command:
pyinstaller.exe --onedir --hidden-import FileDialog --windowed --noupx new-app.py
It does work smoothly. In addition, when I execute the command line to run the gui program, it works perfectly and the GUI is generated using this command:
.\dist\new-app\new-app.exe
But when I go to that file hopefully to be able to click the app to get the GUI, it gives me the error said above. Why is that?
I am using python2.7 and the OS is Windows 7 Enterprise.
Any inputs will be appreciated and thanks a lot in advance.
Well I guess I have found the solution for my own question, here is how I did it:
Eventhough I was being able to successfully run the program using normal python command as well as successfully run pyinstaller and be able to execute the app "new_app.exe" using the command line mentioned in the question which in both cases display the GUI with no problem at all. However, only when I click the application it won't allow to display the GUI and no error is generated.
So, What I did is I added an extra parameter --debug in the pyinstaller command and removing the --windowed parameter so that I can see what is actually happening when the app is clicked and I found out there was an error which made a lot of sense when I trace it, it basically complained that "some_image.jpg" no such file or directory.
The reason why it complains and didn't complain when I ran the script from the first place or even using the command line "./" is because the file image existed in the same path as the script located but when pyinstaller created "dist" directory which has the app product it makes a perfect sense that the image file is not there and so I basically moved it to that dist directory where the clickable app is there!
So The Simple answer is to place all the media files or folders which were used by code in the directory where exe file is there.
Second method is to add "--add-data <path to file/folder>"(this can be used multiple times to add different files) option in pyinstaller command this will automatically put the given file or folder into the exe folder.
In my case i have a main.py that have dependencies with other files. After I build that app with py installer using this command:
pyinstaller --onefile --windowed main.py
I got the main.exe inside dist folder. I double clicked on this file, and I raised the error mentioned above.
To fix this, I just copy the main.exe from dist directory to previous directory, which is the root directory of my main.py and the dependency files, and I got no error after run the main.exe.
Add this function at the beginning of your script :
import sys, os
def resource_path(relative_path):
if hasattr(sys, '_MEIPASS'):
return os.path.join(sys._MEIPASS, relative_path)
return os.path.join(os.path.abspath("."), relative_path)
Refer to your data files by calling the function resource_path(), like this:
resource_path('myimage.gif')
Then use this command:
pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --add-data todo.ico;. script.py
For more information visit this documentation page.
In case anyone doesn't get results from the other answers, I fixed a similar problem by:
adding --hidden-import flags as needed for any missing modules
cleaning up the associated folders and spec files:
rmdir /s /q dist
rmdir /s /q build
del /s /q my_service.spec
Running the commands for installation as Administrator
I was getting this error for a different reason than those listed here, and could not find the solution easily, so I figured I would post here.
Hopefully this is helpful to someone.
My issue was with referencing files in the program. It was not able to find the file listed, because when I was coding it I had the file I wanted to reference in the top level directory and just called
"my_file.png"
when I was calling the files.
pyinstaller did not like this, because even when I was running it from the same folder, it was expecting a full path:
"C:\Files\my_file.png"
Once I changed all of my paths, to the full version of their path, it fixed this issue.
I got the same error and figured out that i wrote my script using Anaconda but pyinstaller tries to pack script on pure python. So, modules not exist in pythons library folder cause this problem.
That error is due to missing of modules in pyinstaller. You can find the missing modules by running script in executable command line, i.e., by removing '-w' from the command. Once you created the command line executable file then in command line it will show the missing modules. By finding those missing modules you can add this to your command :
" --hidden-import = missingmodule "
I solved my problem through this.
I had a similar problem, this was due to the fact that I am using anaconda and not installing the dependencies in pip but in anaconda. What helped me was to install the dependencies in pip.
I found a similar issue but none of the answers up above helped. I found a solution to my problem activating the base environment. Trying once more what I was doing without base I got my GUI.exe executed.
As stated by #Shyrtle, given that once solved my initial problem I wanted to add a background image, I had to pass the entire path of the image even if the file.py and the image itself were in the same directory.
In my case (level noob) I forgot to install library "matplotlib". Program worked in Pycharm, but not when I tried open from terminal. After installed library in Main directory all was ok.
I have developed a simple software in python with GUI. I'm actually working on Natural Language Processing and I've just put the whole NLP process in a GUI.
I tried to convert the whole project to a exe file in python using Pyinstaller. I successfully converted it to an exe file but when I run it , it shows an error message something like this
This is the image of my error
I have already solved it but by using another way of converting py to exe which is the cx_Freeze.
I had the same issue earlier today and finally got it to work using the following software versions:
Python 3.6.8, nltk 3.5 and a dev version of pyinstaller:
pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip
Additionally, I used scikit-learn version 0.21.1.
Few days back, I had the same problem while compressing to EXE. This Problem generally occurs when PyInstaller failes to find Libraries and Modules to import to the directory. But I overcame this problem and the wise solution yet tedious method to do is mentioned below,
Convert Python Scripts to EXE with console = True in the .spec file or to be simple, do not add --noconsole argument while converting using System Argmuents method.(execute GUI with CMD)
After successfully building the file, go to respective directory (dist folder) and open command prompt
Run the Exe file using Command Prompt.
Find the error message and rectify it correspondingly. For example, consider the following Error Message, vcomp140.dll is missing from \\sklearn\\libs directory.
At the end of this Error Message, you'll find Failed to load dynlib/dll , Therefore, find the file or program which is missing. Say, Here we've .libs\\vcomp140.dll
Find vcomp140.dll using window search bar in your C Drive.
Copy the specific file and paste in the directory(under "dist" folder) where the file is missing. Here, the directory is dist\\PyScriptToEXE\\sklearn\\.libs

Context for how you answer: I am new to the command line environment, except when it comes to basic git commands. I've always just used an IDE like PyCharm or NetBeans to run stuff for school projects. Please frame your answer accordingly.
I have a very small python script that pulls down a URL:
import sys
sys.path.append(r'C:\Users\WNeill\PycharmProjects\bloomskyGrantGrove\venv\Lib\site-packages\bloomsky_api')
import bloomsky_api as bs
client = bs.BloomSkyAPIClient(api_key='pr-XXXXXXXXXX')
data = client.get_data()[0] # Dictionary formatted like JSON, if you want data besides the latest image
with open("image_URL.txt", 'w') as file:
print(data.get('outdoor').get('image_url'), file=file)
I did the sys.path.append() because I read in a different question that it would solve my problems of "module not found" when running my scripts from the command line.
Well, it did, sort of... now, it finds my imports, but apparently my imports have imports...
$ py -m bloomtest.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

import requests

So what do I do to make this work when my dependencies have dependencies?
Don't use sys.path.append. Imagine sending your code to someone else, their packages won't be in the same path and they won't be able to run your program. You might not plan on distributing your code but it's just bad practice.
Instead you should use pip to install your packages, as i assume you've been using the PyCharm package manager. I think it automatically installs with current versions of python (not sure though, I'm on Linux) and it's used like so:
pip install BloomSky-API
it'll automatically get all the dependencies and put them in the right places.
I've never used the py command before (am I missing out?), try using python bloomtest.py to run it instead just to be sure. You might get an error telling you that python is an unrecognized command or file, if that's the case it means your PATH is not set up correctly. I've found the easiest way to resolve this is to simply reinstall python, making sure to check the checkbox that says to add python to your PATH.
I'd usually post suggestions like this in a comment if I'm not sure if it solves the problem you're having, but the answer is too long to fit in a comment. Hope this helps!
I want to post the final solution to my problem, which I stumbled on thanks to DutChen18's answer.
He said I should use pip install to install all of my packages, which is one thing that I already do. I don't know much about the command line, except basic git and that. Trying to do it again gave me requirement already satisfied errors.
However, I was using an embedded terminal in PyCharm: C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe, which comes when you download Git. This works great in PyCharm because it automatically starts in the working directory of your project. Very convenient for me, a new command line user.
I decided to open up Git Bash separately from PyCharm and run pip install again. The first thing I found is that it didn't work without python -m pip install, unlike in the PyCharm embedded terminal.
Once I figured that out, I tried to python -m pip install BloomSky-API, but this time it didn't tell me that the libraries were already installed. All of a sudden, I could run my python script from the command line.
I have ZERO clue as to why this happened or why it now works, and I would love to hear a more technical explanation now that I have things working.
I'm trying to convert my python file to an executable using PyInstaller. The program uses the Google Cloud Translate API to translate given text between languages. When running python quicktrans.py in the terminal, the program works fine. Then I ran pyinstaller quicktrans.py, SHIFT + right-clicked the directory the executable was in, and ran the .exe file in the terminal. This is the traceback that it spit out (Note this is not the whole traceback because it is a little lengthy):
File "c:\users\kalab\realpython\quicktrans\google\cloud\connection.py", line 31, in <module>
get_distribution('google-cloud-core').version)
File "site-packages\pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 559, in get_distribution
File "site-packages\pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 433, in get_provider
File "site-packages\pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 970, in require
File "site-packages\pkg_resources\__init__.py", line 856, in resolve
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'google-cloud-core' distribution was not found and is required by the application
Failed to execute script quicktrans
I've tried looking into this and some reason it's giving me a pip-like error. I've been trying to fix this for hours and no luck.
Note: To install its client library, as per the documentation, you must run pip install --upgrade google-cloud-translate
I'm thinking this might have something to do with this because the last application I used dealt with the Facebook client module and you only had to do pip install facebook-sdk and the executable made by PyInstaller ran with no issues.
If you want to examine my code used in my program, it's hosted on my GitHub.
Thanks to anyone helping me out here!
It is basically package building name issue. Pyinstaller tries to import
google.cloud
where Google cloud package is now called
gcloud
. So you need to create a hook file for that names
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\hooks\hook-gcloud.py
File contents:
from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import copy_metadata
datas = copy_metadata('gcloud')
In my experience base on the helps in https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-python/issues/1187 :
Go \Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\hooks folder (if you use anaconda otherwise you need to find it under python folder)
Find the hook-google-cloud.py (If exist, otherwise you need to creat the hook.
Write to existing code as shown below
'''

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import copy_metadata
datas = copy_metadata('google-cloud-core')
datas += copy_metadata('google-cloud-translate')
datas += copy_metadata('google-api-core')
Hope you find this explaination helpful. Thank you.
Alternate hook tweak
I'm running into this same essential problem with the Google speech engine.
It's odd how everyone here seems to have success with slightly alternate solutions to this. I really don't understand how the "patches" to the hook which leave copy_metadata('google-cloud-core') in place can work? The error thrown back reads The 'google-cloud-core' distribution was not found..., so how can one execute that line as is?
This is my replacement for the file content of hook-google.cloud.py, in order to build an exe using google speech:
# PATCH: PROVIDED ALTERNATE PACKAGE NAME
from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import copy_metadata
try:
datas = copy_metadata('google-cloud-core')
except:
datas = copy_metadata('google-cloud-speech')
My personal solution:
Change all calls to get_distribution with it returned values (0.21.0 in my case)
Remove from pkg_resources import get_distribution from import
for all files in the package.
I had the exact same issue. I solved it by doing this:
Goto the Pyinstaller hooks folder (~\Lib\site-packages\PyInstaller\hooks)
Find the file hook-google.cloud.py, open it, and add the following code to it
datas += copy_metadata('google-cloud-translate')
datas += copy_metadata('google-api-core')
The issue seems to be that get_distribution is not working with the default google.cloud.translate hook, so I just added this to a hook that was working.
Hope this helps someone.
I was using PyCharm venv for my project, and the only solution that worked for me is changing the project over to a system interpreter (and install the required packages to that).
Today, when I tried to build an EXE out of my Python script, I got the same error:
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'google-cloud-core' distribution was not found and is required by the application
I thought the reason was one of the listed ones in this thread, since I was sure I had all dependencies installed with pipenv because my code compiled and I could debug and run the code without issues. Note I used pipenv shell in an empty folder and created my app in it, installing all necessary libraries using pipenv install ..., and one of the libraries was google-cloud-dialogflow (the app is a chatbot manager).
The solution was simply to run pipenv install google-cloud-core.
Now, pyinstaller chatbot_manager.py --onefile --windowed created the c:\Users\...\dist\chatbot_manager.exe file without issues.
