When Installing PIL, I get a SyntaxError - python

When I try and use easy_install PIL it will give me the error:
File "setup.py", line 182
print "--- using Tcl/Tk libraries at", TCL_ROOT
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
It is extremely annoying and I have tried installing it from a package as well. I've downloaded Imaging-1.1.7 and it gives the same error. I am trying to get the Image module in Python 3.4.1. I've tried installing Pillow 2.4 but it doesn't show up in the module list when I type pydoc3.4 modules and none of the applications even detect it's existence. Please help because I am getting desperate. I am on Mac OS X 10.8.4 with Python 3.4.1.

That syntax for print only exists in Python 2.x, where print is a statement. However, it was removed entirely in Python 3.x when print became a function.
This means that your version of PIL is incompatible with Python 3.x. So, you now have two options:
Get a version of PIL that is compatible with Python 3.x. This question has more information on that.
Downgrade to Python 2.x.

I have also tried brew install PIL and pip install PIL and I encountered the same issue, because I'm using python 3.4. But I just solved the problem today. This is thanks to Ned Deily's answer above, which i need to figure out first how to do since i'm not well experienced with pip stuffs.
So to do it, you need to head over to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/ and click the latest version. (found version 2.6.1 at the time of this writing). You should see something like Pillow-(version).tar.gz (found Pillow-2.6.1.tar.gz). Just right click it and copy link address if you're using chrome browser and type in the following in your terminal.
pip install https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/P/Pillow/Pillow-2.6.1.tar.gz#md5=4b77fb0c81bbe0c8bf90c6eea960e091
that should do the trick

Webots using Python 2.7 when Python 3.x is default

On my mac I switched python versions to 3.7 and when using the command python -V in the terminal it shows that it successfully switched. Webots still shows that the deprecated 2.7 version is being used. When I checked the command, it says python
I've messed with creating a runtime.ini as well, which seemed to work but doesn't recognize webot modules like "Controller," or "Robot." Though I can't find anything about what the module names would be and how I could include them in the Options for the runtime.ini with the -m flag.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
I was able to solve this by setting the absolute path, shown in the image link, to a valid version of Python 3 in the Webots->Preferences command field. I had a slight error with NumPy not coming with this version but was easily fixable by doing <absolute-path-to-version-specified> -m pip install NumPy
I hope this is helpful to others as it was the last thing I tried and cost me some time.

Getting "no module named builtin" ImportError

I'm getting:
"ImportError: No module named builtins"
that has only started happening after I installed a later version of PsychoPy (an application that uses Python that is used for writing psychology experiments). I was not getting this problem with an older version
I tried doing "sudo pip install future" like someone else recommended for fixing a similar problem. However, when I do this I get an "invalid syntax" error, and don't know of any other way around the problem. I would greatly appreciate any help on this.
Edit
Could it be you enter the command into a Python prompt? You are supposed to enter that command on the command line of your operating system shell. Which means not inside Python.
Original Answer
Like Deesha already mentioned in their comment, you must install the future package into the Python environment you wish to run PsychoPy in, e.g. via pip:
pip install future
or via conda:
conda install future
This is because newer versions of PsychoPy support both Python 2.7 and 3. The future package is used to ensure the code runs on both platforms.

how to install scrapy under python3

i have installed twisted,lxml,scrapy successively using cmd.When i import scrapy in cmd window,it doesn't raise exception.
but when i import scrapy in spyder,it raise exception like following:
i wonder if there are some solutions?Thanks in advance.
I am assuming you have installed scrappy using pip under windows correct?
The issue at hand has everything to do with python and spyder being able to see the install. I had similar issues with opencv when first installing.
The get around this, I compiled both opencv and python together and installed them.
I vote you try and perform the install using the python console in spyder.
pip install scrampy
Did you install the python 3 upon python 2?
If true, the scrapy may be integrated to python 2.
confirm the version with this instruction in the command line.
python --version
If it says Python 2.7.x, you tested on the python 2 when trying with cmd.
Let me know you have both of version on your computer.

Installing OpenCV - DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application [duplicate]

I have a situation very much like the one at Error "ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application", but the answer there isn't working for me.
My Python code says:
import cv2
But that line throws the error shown in the title of this question.
I have OpenCV installed in C:\lib\opencv on this 64-bit machine. I'm using 64-bit Python.
My PYTHONPATH variable: PYTHONPATH=C:\lib\opencv\build\python\2.7. This folder contains cv2.pyd and that's all.
My PATH variable: Path=%OPENCV_DIR%\bin;... This folder contains 39 DLL files such as opencv_core246d.dll.
OPENCV_DIR has this value: OPENCV_DIR=C:\lib\opencv\build\x64\vc11.
The solution at Error "ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application" says to add "the new opencv binaries path (C:\opencv\build\bin\Release) to the Windows PATH environment variable". But as shown above, I already have the OpenCV binaries folder (C:\lib\opencv\build\x64\vc11\bin) in my PATH. And my OpenCV installation doesn't have any Release folders (except for an empty one under build/java).
What's going wrong? Can I tell Python to verbosely trace the loading process? Exactly what DLL files is it looking for?
I noticed that, according to http://www.dependencywalker.com/, the cv2.pyd in C:\lib\opencv\build\python\2.7 is 32-bit, whereas the machine and the Python I'm running are 64-bit. Could that be the problem? And if so, where can I find a 64-bit version of cv2.pyd?
Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages
You can find any Python libraries from here.
Please check if the Python version you are using is also 64 bit. If not then that could be the issue. You would be using a 32-bit Python version and would have installed a 64 bit binaries for the OpenCV library.
Wow, I found yet another case for this problem. None of the above worked. Eventually I used python's ability to introspect what was being loaded. For Python 2.7, this means:
import imp
imp.find_module("cv2")
This turned up a completely unexpected "cv2.pyd" file in an Anaconda DLL directory that wasn't touched by multiple uninstall/install attempts. Python was looking there first and not finding my good installation. I deleted that cv2.pyd file and tried imp.find_module("cv2") again and python immediately found the right file and cv2 started working.
So if none of the other solutions work for you, make sure you use Python introspection to see what file Python is trying to load.
In my case, I have 64-bit Python, and it was lxml that was the wrong version--I should have been using the x64 version of that as well. I solved this by downloading the 64-bit version of lxml here:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/3.4.1
lxml-3.4.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
This was the simplest answer to a frustrating issue.
I just had this problem. It turns out it was just because I was using an 64-bit version of the OpenCV file. I tried the x86 and it worked.
I had the same problem. Here's what I did:
I downloaded the pywin32 wheel file from here, then
I uninstalled the pywin32 module. To uninstall, execute the following command in a command prompt.
pip uninstall pywin32
Then, I reinstalled pywin32. To install it, open the command prompt in the same directory where the pywin32 wheel file lies. Then execute the following command.
pip install <Name of the wheel file with extension>
Wheel file will be like: piwin32-XXX-cpXX-none-win32.whl
It solves the problem for me.
I copied cv2.pyd file from /opencv/build/python/2.7/x86 folder instead of from /x64 folder to C:/Python27/Lib/site-packeges. I followed rest of the instructions provided here.
Added by someone else, not verified: I also copy file cv2.pyd to folder C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/cv2. It works.
For me the problem was that I was using different versions of Python in the same Eclipse project. My setup was not consistent with the Project Properties and the Run Configuration Python versions.
In menu Project → Properties → PyDev, I had the Interpreter set to Python 2.7.11.
In Run Configurations → Interpreter, I was using the Default Interpreter. Changing it to Python 2.7.11 fixed the problem.
If your build system (CMake in my case) copies the file from <name>.dll to <name>.pyd, you will get this error if the original file wasn't actually a DLL file. In my case, building shared libraries got switched off, so the underlying file was actually a *.lib.
I discovered this error by loading the pyd file in Dependency Walker and finding that it wasn't valid.
Update NumPy.
pip install numpy --upgrade
It works for me!
This one worked for me:
pip install -- pywin32==227
I faced the same issue when I uninstalled and reinstalled a different version of 2.7.x of Python on my system using a 32-bit Windows Installer. I got the same error on most of my import statements.
I uninstalled the newly installed Python, downloaded a 64-bit Windows installer, reinstalled Python again, and it worked.
So I had problems installing vtk under Windows (as I use Python 3.7, there isn't any binary available so far. Just for older Python versions pip install vtk is not working)
I did wrote Python in my cmd:
Python 3.7.3 on win32
So I now know I have Python 3.7.3 running on a 32 bit.
I then downloaded the correct wheel at VTK‑8.2.0‑cp37‑cp37m‑win32.whl
Next I installed that wheel:
pip install VTK-8.2.0-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl
Then I tested it and it worked:
python
import vtk
I experienced the same problem while trying to write code concerning speech-to-text.
The solution was very simple. Uninstall the previous pywin32 using the pip method:
pip uninstall pywin32
The above will remove the existing one which is by default for 32 bit computers. And install it again using
pip install pywin32
This will install the one for the 64 bit computer which you are using.
I had a similar issue while trying to run uvicorn,
Creating a new virtual environment and reinstalling the python packages worked
You can install opencv from official or unofficial sites.
Refer to this question and this issue if you are using Anaconda.
It has a very simple solution.
After installing opencv
place
cv2.pyd from C:\opencv\build\python\2.7\ **x64** to C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
instead of, place cv2.pyd from C:\opencv\build\python\2.7\ **x86** to C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
I got this error when trying to import MySQLdb.
What worked for me was to uninstall Python and then reinstall it.
I got the error after installing npm (https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm). One thing it did was install Python even though I already had it.
First I copied cv2.pyd from /opencv/build/python/2.7/x86 to C:/Python27/Lib/site-packeges. The error was
"RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 9 but this version of numpy is 7"
Then I installed numpy-1.8.0-win32-superpack-python2.7.exe and OpenCV works fine.
>>> import cv2
>>> print cv2.__version__
2.4.13
Please make sure that you have installed a Python 2.7.12 or below version. Otherwise you will definitely get this error.
Make sure the Oracle client is 64 bit installed if the OS is 64 bit.
Make sure the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler for Python 2.7 is 64 for bit for a 64 bit OS or 32 bit for 32 bit.
Note: If your OS is 64 bit, install all packages of 64 bit or if the OS is 32 bit, install the 32-bit package.
This has worked for me. I have tried different methods, but this was my best solution.
Open a command prompt and type the following;
pip install opencv-python
(Make sure your Internet connection is on.)
After that, try importing it again.
It could also be that your Anaconda version is 32 bit when it should be 64 bit.
If you are using pycharm I go to settings -> python interpretation and click the + button and search for the name on the list of python packages there

I found the solution. Maybe you can try to use the cmd window rather than the Anaconda prompt window to start your first Scrapy test.

pylab not found - networkx python 2.7

I am trying to run a simulator (developed by someone else) and make it work. I don't know Python but have started learning it. Could someone please look at the error below and advice me if it could be fixed or what it means. It should generate an image file at the end but it doesn't.
The error is:
You probably don't have the six Python module installed in your python version 2.6. You can find it on pypi.
To install it:
$ easy_install six
if 2.6 is not your default version, use instead:
$ easy_install-2.6 six
