Issue downloading Python Panda's module - python

I am a programming novice, so apologize in advance if I'm asking a dumb question or perpetrating some site etiquette violation. I have tried very hard to research the answer to my question on an issue that seems to be very common, but none of the proposed solutions have worked, so am looking for some help as I just don't know what to try next.
I'm trying to import Panda from iPython onto Windows 8. I have version 2.7 of Python and have successfully downloaded Numpy. Given the suggestions on this site, I have downloaded all the file that I think Panda is dependent on (pytx, dateutil, setuptools), but it still didn't work: the error message includes:
Import Error Traceback (most recent call)
<ipython-input-2-d6ac987968b6> in <module>()
try
from.import hashtable, tslib, lib
except exception: # pragma: no cover
import datetime
- C: \Python27\lib\site-packages\pandas\__init__.py in <module>():
Import Error: No module named six
Out of desperation, I also deleted all previous version of pandas and loaded Aneconda, thinking from previous responses that might help capture all required modules including Pandas, but the same error keeps coming up.
Any help would be much appreciated, and don't worry about pointing out the obvious (since it's clearly not obvious to me.)

The easiest way to get modules up and running on Windows is to use Christoph Gohlke's Python Extension Packages for Windows repository. It includes installers for a ton of (mainly scientific-related) modules, including pandas, matplotlib, six, etc. Since many modules included compiled extensions, installing using pip doesn't always work if the package maintainer hasn't published a binary for your package of interest. Gohlke's packages include everything already pre-compiled, you just need to choose the version and bit-ness of Python, and download the .exe files.

How to import .Net Classes in Python using Python.Net

I'm using Python.NET to create wrapper for iText.net (https://github.com/itext/itext7-dotnet).
The dll is named itext.kernel.dll and the python script is in the samne folder of all the itext dlls.
With Jetbrain dotPeek I see that itext.kernel has various namespaces; the namespace iText.Kernel.Pdf is what I need, in particular the public class PdfReader.
Here's what I'm doing (from the docs on https://pythonnet.github.io/):
import clr
clr.AddReference('itext.kernel')
sys.path.append(os.getcwd()) # the script is currently in the dll folder
from iText.Kernel.Pdf import PdfReader
But this gets me a "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'iText'" error.
I can't understand what it's wrong, can someone point me to the right direction? Thanks.
edit: I can import and use iTextSharp just fine, it seems iText7 has something different.
Well, long story short I really wanted this to work... and solved my issue!
I tried using older builds, and I found out that build 7.0.8 worked fine.
I compared it with build 7.1.11 (the one I was having problems with) using dotPeek, and noticed it has some references, namely BouncyCastle.Crypto, Common.Logging and Common.Logging.Core.
I did put them in the project folder, but still no dice... until I noticed I was using BouncyCastle.Crypto build 1.8.6, while the itext.kernel referred build 1.8.5! Replacing with that version solved the issue.
Basically the newer builds of iText7 have 3 referenced libs, that must be present in the exact same version (at least to be imoported by pythonnet).
I hope this can help someone that has issues similar to mine.

can't import pyd file from scipy

trying to import scipy.interpolate but it can’t import _fblas.pyd. It keeps throwing the following error
File "C:\cygwin64\lib\python2.7\site-packages\scipy/linalg/blas.py", line 155, in <module>
from scipy.linalg import _fblas
ImportError: cannot import name _fblas
My online research suggested that this is because I had the wrong version of numpy installed, and I need to install numpy+mkl. So I uninstalled the version I had and pip installed numpy 1.10.4, which includes mkl.
This did not fix the original problem with _flbas.pyd.
I would reinstall scipy but I can't remember where I got the version I have, and when I pip install scipy 0.17.1.tar.gz it throws an error saying that it has no blas resources, which are necessary. I've also tried to download it from here: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/releases, but they don't include _fblas.pyd in the first place.
I’m not sure where to go from here. I'm not even entirely sure why it won't import the _fblas.pyd file.
This looks like you tried to manually comply to your needed packages. Even though I take my hat off at your effort, keep in mind that this is not an simple task at all.
I might also add that this kind of work is not meant for a developer ("the person who writes the code"), but a full time maintainer. Specially with your particular Cygwin environment
So, what can you do? Alternatively, you can use one of Continuum's mkl-ready python-and-many-tools-including-mkl+scipy distribution or Enthought's Canopy. Hopefully, this will avoid you lots of hours of staring at the screen wondering what's wrong

Python reportlab pyRXP on OS X

So I am trying to install pyRXP on my os x machine (using anaconda).
If I use pip, import pyRXP doesn't work,
I have also tried to install by cloning https://bitbucket.org/rptlab/pyrxp
and running the setup.py file
It claims I need to compile something if I am not on windows, but I can't work out what, where that source is.
Sorry I am kind of new to python, and this has become very confusing, no amount of googling is helping.
Cheers for any help.
In newer versions of pyRXP, the module seems to have been renamed to pyRXPU. Something about supporting Unicode.
It seems that pyRXP (which supported 8 bit characters) has been removed and only pyRXPU (supporting 16 bit unicode characters) is in the package now, although the documentation still suggests you can import pyRXP! I've submitted an issue about this.
The only solution, if using the latest version of pyRXP (as suggested by the previous answer), is to instead do:
import pyRXPU
Update: The documentation, and README file in the repository, have now been fixed to only reference import pyRXPU and no longer use import pyRXP.

error on importing pyIpopt

I'm trying to install and configure pyIpopt. Ipopt is already installed and the examples run fine.
From the shell, when I do import pyIpopt, I get the error:
ImportError: /***PATH***/libipopt.so.1: undefined symbol: MPI_Init
The FAQ section of the pyIpopt git project has this to offer for these kinds of errors:
Do a Google search to find the library file, and add
-lWhateverLibrary in the makefile of pyipopt.
I've googled and found this: http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpi/www/www3/MPI_Init.html.
I don't know how to get the library or add it to the makefile... Any assistance would be much appreciated!
Just had a similar problem on ubuntu.
Using libmumps-seq worked for me:
installed libmumps-seq-4.9.2 (just with apt-get, along side the ordinary libmumps)
in setup.py changed in the libraries list argument 'coinmumps' to 'dmumps_seq-4.9.2'
rebuilt and installed.
If I understand it correctly, the default mumps is distributed (using MPI lib which can be a world of pain), and all i needed is the sequential one, which mumps-seq provides.

Python: Installing and using Exscript module Windows x86

I have been banging my head against the wall trying to get Exscript installed. After multiple failed attempts at doing it manually, I installed ActivePython and had success running "pypm install Exscript" from the cmd prompt.
I am now going through the Exscript documentation (found here https://github.com/knipknap/exscript/wiki/Python-API-Tutorial) and if I run the first example script I get an error:
>>> from Exscript.util.interact import read_login
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module>
from Exscript.util.interact import read_login
ImportError: No module named interact
So, I understand that this is saying that there is no module interact. How can I check this? Is there a way I can manually add this module? I would love to know WHY this module didnt come with the package, but that may be impossible to answer :)
Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you
EDIT -
import Exscript.util works but if I try import Exscript.util.Interact I get the error. When I look in util.py I see an entry that says "from FooLib import Interact". I first thought it may just be a capitalization error (Exscript.util.interact vs util.Interact) but neither of those work. I am not sure where to go from here... :(
EDIT -
I have posted this question on the developers forums, hopefully he will have an answer for us. https://github.com/knipknap/exscript/issues/15
EDIT -
The developer suggested that I was using an old version and told me to download the latest. I had struggled installing the module manually so I googled how to easily install py modules. I found a writeup on easy_install.exe. I ran "c:\Python26>easy_install C:\Users\support\Desktop\lou\knipknap-exscript-v2.1-70-gf5583f3.tar.gz" from the cmd prompt, the module was installed (no errors) and now when i run the script it works.
Next challenge will be how to get these scripts to run as stand-alone exe's on users computers without Python installed :)
THANK YOU to everyone to commented I truely appreciate your help.
Lou
One common way packages are installed is as directories. So check your site-packages directory for an Exscript directory, and inside that there should be a util directory, and inside that there should be an interact.py file. Look for similar spellings in case the tutorial misspelled something.
