I have just installed python 3.4, including pip, on a win64 machine.
When trying to use pip to install a package, I encounter a strange error.
I'm running:
pip install packagename
and get:
Can't locate pip.pm in #INC...
This looks like a perl error to me. I do have perl installed on my machine, but why is windows trying to invoke perl?
Waiting for your advice,
Thanks!
I think you have installed pip perl module, and it added the pip perl tool in your PATH variable (in upper place than pip from python). So, if you don't use that perl module, you can delete it, or call the python pip tool with the complete path
OK, so what did it for me was changing the name of the pip file found somewhere on my drive to pip_pm. This convinced windows to just use the python pip command. Thanks for your help anyway.

I am doing this project where i need to install a package called Twint.
I want to install this package and use it's commands in my VS Code.
What happends when i for example type this in my Windows CMD?
pip3 install --user --upgrade git+https://github.com/twintproject/twint.git#origin/master#egg=twint
Because i can't type this in my VS code terminal, where i usually install packages with pip.
It will return an error that says ERROR: Cannot find command 'git' - do you have 'git' installed and in your PATH?''
Now if i run this in my Windows Command it seems that i can't directly import the package in VS code?
Can anyone help me out with this confusion, where does the files get stored and how do i create good habbits around installing packages?
Hope someone understands what im struggeling with here.

It is often the case that computers have more than one version of python installed and that editors like VS code use a different version than pip uses on the command line. pip installs packages where the version of python it is linked to expects them to be, but VScode doesn't know to look there.
It sounds like you have git installed where pip installs things, so you can upgrade from the command line without issue, but there's no installation of git where VScode is looking, so there's nothing to upgrade.
You either need to find where pip installs things and add it to the $PATH VScode uses, or try running a variation of python -m pip install --user git (specifying a specific url, or other things, as needed) from within VScode, which will ensure the package gets installed in a place that VScode looks for packages.
Download and Install git in your windows from here:
https://git-scm.com/download/win
Then add its installation bin path to your windows's environment path. Then you will find the git command at the command prompt globally.
This may solve you problem.
I have a very basic question. I want to install a new module on my computer in order to use it in Python (via Spyder). When I install the package via pip everything seems to work fine. When I want to import the package in my script it says that there is no module by that name (see scrennshot below)
Any suggestions what might be the problem?
Thanks a lot :)

You're using pip3 to install.
Try installing using pip install nibabel.
Failing that, I would refer you to the following question:
Which pip is with which python?
This is a common pitfall of using different versions of Python and pip.
I think
/Applications/Spyder.app/Contents/MacOS/python -m pip install nibabel
or
/Applications/Spyder.app/Contents/MacOS/python -m pip3 install nibabel
will solve your problem
Thanks for asking the question.
Have tried conda install
Since we are in anaconda dev env.
If you are using windows
Windows: Click Start, search, or select Anaconda Prompt from the menu
and use that terminal
please find the reference

I am having a nightmare tonight, I want to start learning some Django but I am running into quite a few problems while installing it.
I am following these tutorials - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmljXZIypDc / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEcWRk9w0t0
I installed Python 3.7.2 and confirmed the installation by typing 'python --version' into Terminal/Command Prompt.
I typed 'pip --version' into CMD and got this message in return "'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
this is where I am stuck, I cannot continue any longer without completing this step, could anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Thank you
edit: looks like it's a path issue, does anyone know how to do the following: how to I do this :
"Then add C:\Python37\Scripts path to your environment variable. Assumes that there is a Python37 folder in your C drive, that folder name may varied according to the installed python version Now you can install python packages by running pip install awesome_package_name"
You need to uninstall python and when you're installing python again , check on add python to PATH.It will remove the error
Can you be more specific as to which OS you are using? You can use pip also like python -m pip .... The -m part loads a python module It might just not be installed since it is a python module. On linux, for example you have to install pip separately (would be sudo apt-get install python-pip).
Run pip install django from windows command prompt instead of python shell.

hope you will get it.
I'm a little lost on how to get pyodbc installed in my computer.
I have python 3.6.1
The link
http://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000011656
pointed me to another link
https://github.com/mkleehammer/pyodbc
Which is vague.
I'm used to downloading and running an exe for install.
This link is unclear and says all I have to do is:
"pip install pyodbc"
What exactly do I need to do to get this working?
Since you have not mentioned which OS you are using,
I will assume that you are on windows (as you have mentioned that you are used to install using .exe).
Firstly you need to know what a pip is:
pip is basically a package manager for python packages used to install 3 rd party packages which do not bundle along with the python distribution.
On linux pip comes pre installed also if you are using python version 3.4 onwards or python 2.7.9 you will be having pip pre installed on your system.
All you have to do it to open the command prompt issue the command
pip install package-name(pyobdc here)
it will do the job.
If you do not find pip in your distribution you can refer this link
How do I install pip on Windows?
open cmd in your computer and type
pip install pyobdc
Hello there and welcome to python programming. Basically python comes with its package installer so either you can go to any interpreter that you are using and type pip install pyobdc or use the command prompt in windows and type in pip install pyobdc. This would install your module and just remember to put import pyobdc at the top of the code if you want to use this package. Further information can be found on here
I'm not overly familiar with Linux and am trying to run a Python script that is dependent upon Python 3.4 as well as pymssql. Both Python 2.7 and 3.4 are installed (usr/local/lib/[PYTHON_VERSION_HERE]). pymssql is also installed, except it's installed in the Python 2.7 directory, not the 3.4 directory. When I run my Python script (python3 myscript.py), I get the following error:
File "myscript.py", line 2, in
import pymssql
ImportError: No module named 'pymssql'
My belief is that I need to install pymssql to the Python 3.4 folder, but that's my uneducated opinion. So my question is this:
How can I get my script to run using Python 3.4 as well as use the pymssql package (sorry, probably wrong term there)?
I've tried many different approaches, broken my Ubuntu install (and subsequently reimaged), and at this point don't know what to do. I am a relative novice, so some of the replies I've seen on the web say to use ENV and separate the versions are really far beyond the scope of my understanding. If I have to go that route, then I will, but if there is another (i.e. easier) way to go here, I'd really appreciate it, as this was supposed to just be a tiny thing I need to take care of but it's tied up 12 hours of my life thus far! Thank you in advance.
It is better if when you run python3.4 you can have modules for that version.
Another way to get the desire modules running is install pip for python 3.4
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Then install the module you want
python3.4 -m pip install pymssql
The easiest way is to use virtual environments instead of system paths or environment scripts. See official Python package installation guide.
All you need to do is to
# Create fresh Python environemnt
virtualenv -p python3.4 my-venv
# Activate it in current shell
source my-venv/bin/activate
# Install packages
pip install mysqlclent
Note that mysqlclient is Python 3.x compatible version.
