I am running Python 2.7.9 on a Windows 8 machine. I've programmed for a long time (since the 60s), but I'm having trouble figuring out how to install the Six Module. I need a step-by-step set of instructions. Either help here or a suggested website would be helpful to this old man. Thanks!
On some computers where I don't have pip installed I usually do:
Extract the downloaded file
In the command line, where you extracted do python setup.py install
Module should now be installed
You can run python now
In the interactive interpreter do import module_name
If you get no errors, installation was a success

Probably stupidly I tried to install the latest version of Python, in this case using the download from python site, but after doing that I was then getting python still running on the previous version python-3.6. I'm on OSX and was using sublime.
So I have been trying to work out how to update it to use the newest version. I've followed; https://opensource.com/article/19/5/python-3-default-mac.
All of the responses to queries now point to the python-3.9.5 version. So that's great and my runtime is using that. However after installing the requests using pip install I get the following error when running.
import requests
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests'''
[path: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin]
I stumbled upon Modules are installed using pip on OSX but not found when importing which I have been trying to work through.
I have been able to run the import command successfully in terminal, however it's intermittent as I've tried again and it's broken, so I'm lost. I'm running it something trying to run the python3.6 version, which after updating I followed these instructions to remove when I have uninstalled that from my mac https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5880/python/uninstall.
If there is any ideas, would love some help, mainly to try and tell me what that error message is telling me.
In particular, what does this mean?
[path: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/
I should clarify too; when I run 'pip list'
I see
requests 2.25.1
Assuming that you are not installing requests package properly, and assuming your python executable is named python:
python -m pip install requests
If however, your python executable is named something else instead, e.g. python3, replace python with that name:
python3 -m pip install requests
I am trying to follow a tutorial book called "Data visualization with Python and Javascript" and am running into many issues importing modules used in the book. I have made sure to do "pip install" on as many of the packages used as possible, and have successfully done it for packages such as SQLAlchemy and matplotlib.
However, when I import modules from SQLAlchemy and even dateutil that are used in the tutorial, I receive an import error, "ImportError: No module named {module}"
On the following lines of code:
from dateutil import parser
from SQLAlchemy import create_engine
This has occurred often enough with different modules that I am beginning to get concerned I can no longer actually follow the tutorial. I had to skip a whole section of how to use SQLAlchemy.
Furthermore, SQLAlchemy is properly installed:
Requirement already up-to-date: sqlalchemy in c:\users\{user}\appdata\local\continuum\miniconda3\lib\site-packages (1.2.15)
What obvious thing am I missing here that needs to happen for me to use these packages and modules?
EDIT:
python --version
Python 3.7.1
pip --version
pip 18.1 from C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Continuum\miniconda3\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.7)
However, I am using Anaconda for a virtual environment, and PyCharm as my IDE. I have included a screenshot of the projects interpreter for a good measure.Project Interpreter
Furthermore, I have checked that I have pip installed it on both the root and the environment.Root Environment
I think, you have multiple python versions installed.(2.* | 3.*)
You are installing packages in one python version and using another python version.
EDIT:
You can use pip2 install modulename for python2
and pip3 install modulename for python3
I've been trying for a couple of hours already. It seems IDLE can't find any third-party module. I am a Python beginner.
Here is some info about my system:
OSX version: 10.11.5
python version: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5
The initial installation using pip (among other methods) seems to work fine. When I repeat the installation, terminal responds with:
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pyperclip in
./anaconda/lib/python3.4/site-packages
However, when I go to IDLE (Python 3.4) and try to import the module, IDLE responds with:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in
import pyperclip ImportError: No module named 'pyperclip'
I have read that it may have something to do with my PATH or some virtual environment. I’ll be frank, I’m not sure what to make of these as they seem beyond my current ability.
This inability to import modules is becoming an almost insurmountable roadblock to advancing with Python. If you can offer any ideas on what I can do or can ELI5 the solution, I am forever in your debt?
It seems you are using conda, but you are trying to install the pyperclip module with pip. Have you tried running conda install pyperclip?
As stated here:
Because Conda introduces a new packaging format, you cannot use pip and Conda interchangeably; pip cannot install the Conda package format. You can use the two tools side by side but they do not interoperate either.
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
I'm very new to python and any non-basic computer functions in general, but I'm having a very basic problem and I can't figure out how to fix it. Any time I download a module from the internet and try to import it in python, I get an error message. For example, I just downloaded wxPython after being instructed to do so on a tutorial program for Python I've been using, and after entering "import wx" I got:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#4>", line 1, in <module>
import wx
ImportError: No module named wx
How do I fix this so that python can find modules I download?
Thanks!!
Python version 2.7.3, and I downloaded wxPython from the download link on the website. Another thing I noticed: whenever I type in python setup.py install in the Terminal, I get:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python
can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Which seems to be another huge problem?
There are a few things you need to do to actually debug this:
Run python and check what version you are running.
type where python and figure out if you have multiple versions of python running at once.
With pip or easy_install, read the output to check where they are installing packages. It's somewhat likely that they are installing to the system-wide Python 2.6, as opposed to the version that you want it to be installed to (Python 2.7).
If you find any packages installed in the wrong place with 3, uninstall them with pip uninstall <packagename> and then specifically reinstall them to 2.7 with easy_install-2.7 or pip-2.7 install. If you don't see the option for easy_install-2.7 or pip-2.7, you need to install distribute and run its setup.py file with the specific version of Python you are using.
Make sure you are actually in the directory when running setup.py. For example, to install distribute, you need to cd into the appropriate directory to install.
Finally, a separate note: it's far easier to install packages with easy_install or pip, as opposed to downloading them separately. You should try doing that first. Again, distribute has more info.
