We Keep Coding

I cannot import libraries into python despite repeatedly installing them

I am struggling to install and import python libraries into my programs. originally I was using pydev but I kept getting messages like:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\satur\eclipse-workspace\DMD experimental\Main.py", line 11, in <module> from matplotlib import pyplot as plot ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matplotlib'
I installed matplotlib using py -m pip install matplotlib which produced a few messages like this.
WARNING: The script f2py.exe is installed in 'C:\Users\satur\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts' which is not on PATH. Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location. WARNING: The scripts fonttools.exe, pyftmerge.exe, pyftsubset.exe and ttx.exe are installed in 'C:\Users\satur\AppData \Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts' which is not on PATH.
I was unsure what this meant so I tried running my program again and got the module not found error again.
being unable to resolve the issue I moved over to spyder because it came with many of the libraries I wanted thus avoiding the issue. however, as soon as I tried to import and install libraries not included with spyder I encountered the module not found error and a similar warning about the path. I added the paths mentioned in the warning to the PATH in spyder now when I run my code get this error message:

I did some looking around and found this
https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/wiki/Working-with-packages-and-environments-in-Spyder#installing-packages-into-the-same-environment-as-spyder
I followed what instructions I understood
import sys; sys.executable
Out[50]: 'C:\\Users\\satur\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Spyder\\Python\\python.exe'
which is different from what I get when I run it in command prompt or in the pydev terminal both of which give me
C:\Users\satur\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe
when i go to C:\Users\satur\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\ I see: 3 versions of idel, 3 versions of pip, and 6 versions of python.
I am deeply confused. I want to install and import libraries into my python programs. I want to be able to run my programs in either (or for that matter any) ide. I seem to be hitting the very similar issues in both. every tutorial I have found online describes the steps to take to do this but not what they are or why I am doing them none of them seem to work and the more times I try to install things the more confused I get.
could someone please explain: how to install and import libraries into a python program. what python is doing when I install things and try to import them. and why both IDEs have similar but different errors.

Script works in Anaconda Prompt but not via Command Line

I am unable to run a python script in the command line, and this script works great in Jupyter Notebook and via Anaconda Prompt. This appears to be an issue importing the ssl module during initialization of another module I am importing (mygeotab).
I have googled the error and done as much as I can to diagnose the most common cause which appears to be PATH issues.
I have already diagnosed the PATH to a point, and have added the location of the /lib/ and python.exe to the environment variables. Also, during testing I began my script with the below to protect myself from path issues and printed the path before and after the 'append', which did not have an impact on the problem.
import sys
print(sys.path)
sys.path.append('C:\\Users\\xxxxxx\\Python Scripts')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\python37.zip')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\DLLs')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\lib')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\win32')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\win32\\lib')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\Pythonwin')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\lib\\site-packages\\IPython\\extensions')
sys.path.append('C:\\Users\\xxxxxx\\.ipython')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\Lib')
sys.path.append('C:\\Anaconda3\\Lib\\site-packages')
print(sys.path)
import mygeotab
import pandas as pd
import pyodbc as py
from mygeotab.ext import feed
import sqlalchemy
from time import sleep
However, when I attempt to run the script via the standard command line, I get the below error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "PYTHON_GEOTAB_TRIP_FEED.py", line 33, in <module>
import mygeotab
File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\mygeotab\__init__.py", line 9, in <module>
from .api import Credentials
File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\mygeotab\api.py", line 14, in <module>
import ssl
File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\ssl.py", line 98, in <module>
import _ssl # if we can't import it, let the error propagate
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
The mygeotab module and ssl.py are both in the locations designated in the Traceback. '_ssl' is the only reference I can not seem to diagnose. Again, this works fine in both Notebook and Anaconda Prompt.
Any ideas?
Windows Server 2008 R2
Anaconda 2019.07 x64
Python 3.7.3 x64

This was solved for me by installing a separate instance of Python 3.7, moving the PATH references and other pointers. I installed pip, mygeotab, and the other packages into the native Python 3.7 instance. It just appears you can't use the one baked into anaconda the way I thought. Thanks for the help everyone.

python from mac ports, sublimeREPL dosnt run

I use mac ports to install python and many other modules like pygame, numpy, networkx. Codes work well on spyder and IDLE.
But when using sublimeREPL to run codes in python. It says "no module named pygame", like the follows(Sorry I cant post image for short of reputations)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "12.py", line 2, in <module>
import pygame
ImportError: No module named pygame

No module named _core when using mailer.py on Windows/Python 2.7

I'm trying to configure and run SVN post-commit hook sending mails. I've downloaded class mailer.py, installed Python 2.7 and svn-win32 bindings for svn. The machine is Windows-7 64 bit, the Python is 32 bit. Now the mailer.py ends with error, which is caused by import problem.
When I in python console type "import svn.core" I have following error:
>>> import svn.core
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "c:\tools\Python27\lib\site-packages\svn\core.py", line 19, in <module>
from libsvn.core import *
File "c:\tools\Python27\lib\site-packages\libsvn\core.py", line 5, in <module>
import _core
ImportError: No module named _core
while in directory site-packages/libsvn are files such as: _core.dll
I've installed other bindings, pysvn, that was installed correctly, but as far as I've noticed, it's the totally other API so I can't use that for python.py
Does someone had similar problem and knows how to deal with it?

The Python bindings need to load the native Subversion libraries (DLL's). If your Python is 32-bit then you would need 32-bit versions of the native Subversion libraries on PATH.

I have problem like this. Trouble was that python just can not import this library (svn.core and other).
I just make:
import sys
sys.path.append("C:\csvn\lib\svn-python").
My file core.pyc was in C:\csvn\lib\svn-python\svn. Hope it helps somebody. Such behacior for me is strange because there is no "init.py" or "init.pyc" file in svn-python directory. But it works.

What is wrong with my Windows GTK+ for Python installation?

Getting pretty frustrated with this. I installed pygtk 2.24, pycairo 1.8.10, and pyobject 2.28.3 all for my 32 bit system and my installed Python version of 2.7. I have GTK+ installed and working.
Also, I have the path to "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0" set in sys.path (where pygtk and pobject reside) and my Path system variable for GTK_BASEPATH is set to C:\gtk, where GTK+ resides.
I get this error when I attempt to import gtk:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module>
import gtk
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gtk\__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
import gobject as _gobject
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gobject\__init__.py", line 26, in <module>
from glib import spawn_async, idle_add, timeout_add, timeout_add_seconds, \
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\glib\__init__.py", line 22, in <module>
from glib._glib import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.
I can't figure out what's wrong. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT
Found this post, and I found a variable for GtkSharp (don't know where it came from) but removing it did not help.

Try uninstalling all of that (including GTK+, unless something else needs it) and use the PyGTK all-in-one installer instead.

If you're compiling your own, make sure you go in the 'dist' folder and run the created installer to use your version on your machine.
