Problem running auto py to exe from terminal [duplicate]

I have python 3.9 I used the command 'pip install auto-py-to-exe' and it downloaded but when I tried to using the command 'auto-py-to-exe' the program just said " 'auto-py-to-exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.". I have the latest version of PIP and I also have PATH. What can I do to fix this?

This works on VSCode:
python -m auto_py_to_exe

If I install "auto-py-to-exe" using following command, as described in this link as well as from the comment from Justin Ezequiel (above):
python -m pip install auto-py-to-exe
I am able to run it (in Windows 10) using following command:
python -m auto_py_to_exe

This gave me quite a bit of trouble, as none of the above solutions worked for me. Spent lots of time trying to figure out what I should be adding to PATH with no success.
My issue stemmed from (I think) the fact that I have been using python downloaded from the windows store, which uses a different location to store python in.
With the manual install of python (https://www.python.org) you can specify where python is downloaded and automatically add that location to path.
Steps I took to solve the problem:
Uninstall all versions of python downloaded from the windows store via settings (settings > apps > python > uninstall)
Uninstall all version of python via the control panel (control panel > add or remove programs > python x.x.x > uninstall)
Uninstall auto-py-to-exe (pip uninstall auto-py-to-exe) in case it didnt do that automatically
Install python from python.org. (auto-py-to-exe is not supported in versions greater than 3.10 as of 1/23/2023). So I installed Python 3.10
The settings which were successful for me were:
Custom installation,
check install python for all users,
check add to path,
input 'C:\Python310' (with the respective version number) for install location,
install
Check new python version has been installed python --version
Check pip is installed pip --version
Install auto-py-to-exe pip install auto-py-to-exe
When auto-py-to-exe finishes installing, scroll up through the install info and make sure there are no warnings that state there is a location not found in PATH. If there are, you'll have to do some other research on adding those locations to PATH appropriately (since I don't think I was doing that right).
Assuming no PATH warnings,
9. Run auto-py-to-exe

First you need to type in the terminal (not Python):
auto-py-to-exe
If you are currently in python use exit() to exit then try the above code.

It Depends on in which environment you have installed
Make sure to replace {User} with your user
In Conda Enviournment go to below location Manually
C:\Users\{User}\anaconda3\Scripts\auto-py-to-exe.exe
In Pip, Environment go to the location below
C:\Users\{User}\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Scripts\auto-py-to-exe.exe
or you can add this path to your environment variable as well for accessing these from anywhere

First check you installed it
pip install auto-py-to-exe
then restart your vscode and check another time.
If still an error, check it in CMD.

As suggested above use:
pip show --files auto-py-to-exe to find out in what directory pip has
installed the scripts. Double check the directory is in %PATH%
This will show you where the installer has placed the binary files. I then changed to that directory which circumvents any path issue. I tried to run the files and found :
OSError: [WinError 1920] The file cannot be accessed by the system: 'C:\\Users\\aaaa\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\\python.exe'
PS C:\users\aaaa\appdata\local\packages\pythonsoftwarefoundation.python.3.7_qbz5n2kfra8p0\localcache\local-packages\python37\Scripts>
In my case, although I haven't worked out how to fix it yet... It would seem to be trying to refer to an incorrect Python executable, the files in that directory are all 0 length. Unfortunately the "python -m" suggestion didn't work for me, so it's back to the drawing board. Hope that helps you confirm if it's the right solution to chase down.

You need to make sure you have typed cd C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\Scripts as a separate command, and then auto-py-to-exe with python 3. Check in file explorer to make sure your path is correct if the cd fails.

Importing module to VS code

im very new in programming and i learn Python.
I'm coding on mac btw.
I'd like to know how can i import some modules in VS code.
For exemple, if i want to use the speedtest module i have to download it (what i did) and then import it to my code. But it never worked and i always have the error no module etc.
I used pip to install each package, i have them on my computer but i really don't know to import them on VS code. Even with the terminal of the IDE.
I know it must be something very common for u guys but i will help me a lot.
Thx

Quick Summary
This might not be an issue with VS Code.
Problem: The folder to which pip3 installs your packages is not on your $PATH.
Fix: Go to /Applications/Python 3.8 in Finder, and run the Update Shell Profile.command script. Also, if you are using pip install <package>, instead of pip3 install <package> that might be your problem.
Details
Your Mac looks for installed packages in several different folders on your Mac. The list of folders it searches is stored in an environment variable called $PATH. Paths like /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin should be in the $PATH environment variable, since that's where pip3 installs all packages.

Most probably you have multiple versions of python on your computer.
You have to select your python interpreter for which you have installed those packages using pip to do this you'll have to click on the python version you see in the bottom and select the correct interpreter from the list:
You can also find more information within the VSCode docs.

Python modules not importing

New to python and I cannot import modules that I have installed via pip.
For instance, I have installed numpy though cannot import it.
I have a feeling from trying to work this out that it is installing to the wrong directory, or I am calling the wrong version.
$ which python
returns
/usr/bin/python
I am just not sure how to change it so I can access the modules.

First if all, you are installing the packages using pip, which means you install it on python 2 by the default configurations.
The issue you are describing can be caused by several problems:
If you are working with an IDE like pycharm- your project interpeter might by python 3.x. You should change it to python 2 since you used pip and not pip3.
Some newer versions of pycharm are opening virtual environment by default in new projects. This means that if you install packages outside the virtual environment you will not be able to access them. When opening a project, intended of applying the default settings, change the interpreter to your system interpreter, probably your python2.7 in your case.
You are not using an IDE but accecing python from your terminal like so: python3 instead of python.
Hope it helps ;)

From a terminal try:
pip install numpy --user
This install numpy to your home directory. Sometimes this helps compared with installing it without the '--user' flag.
Then:
python
Now you have a python command line. Try:
import numpy
If you don't see any error message, then the install worked. Control-d or typing 'exit()' returns you to your shell.

How I can delete python 3.4 if i use just anaconda python

I have a specific problem with python. I have on my ubuntu two versions python3.4 and python3.6(from anaconda). I want use just anaconda pythoncurrent version
But when i run script i have some problems with another python version
another version
How i can safe delete useless python 3.4.6?

sudo apt-get remove python3.4
anaconda should have set python3 as default python3.6 version

You should probably not delete Python3 from your system, even if you have Anaconda installed, since there might be system software that:
was not tested with subsequent versions of Python;
might struggle finding Python from Anaconda.
What you should do instead is configure your IDE / environment to run Python script with Anaconda, e.g. by setting your PATH variable to point to your anaconda/bin directory or similar.
If you are using PyCharm, as it seems from the screenshot, you could set up your project to run the Anaconda Python without modifying your other command-line settings.

How can I manage mutiple python in Ubuntu16.04?

  In my Ubuntu16.04, there are python 2 and python 3 default. In addition, i have installed anaconda too. I am sucked by the 'python' cmd. Every time i use pip or pip3 install, I don't know where the package install, python2 or python 3? And I use conda install to install anaconda package. I also use anaconda env to manage different virtual env. But I think it mix with my local Python 2 and 3.
  For example, in directory /usr/bin, I found many soft links like this:
   When i try 'python' cmd, it just confuse me！
   Why python3m are local, shouldn't it be anaconda? Why python3 are anaconda, shouldn't it be local? Then I found that if I use ./python2 or ./python3, I found it is correct now!
  So I know it is caused by environment variables. I echo $PATH, Found it like this: /home/kinny/.pyenv/shims:/home/kinny/.pyenv/bin:/home/kinny/anaconda3/bin:/home/kinny/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/opt/ant/bin:/snap/bin:/opt/maven/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin
   I have used update-alternative --config python to configure default python, but it doesn't work! It sames mixed with each others.
   Now I just want to install tensorflow 0.11 in local python3, because in anaconda it is 0.10 version by default. So how can I change this. I just want to use python python3 and python3m represents python2.7 python3.5 and anaconda python respectively, How can I do that! use pip and pip3 for local python2 and python3 respectively!

I ran into a similiar problem when setting up PyCharm Edu to work with Anaconda. I found that I had several versions of Python installed and it was very hard to keep track of which version the IDE was referencing. My CS professor gave me the advice of simply removing the versions of Python I didn't frequent. I now just have Anaconda installed; and use the Anaconda Prompt as my Python console. I also rely on PyCharm's IPython for the developer console. However, if you still want differing versions of Python installed (say your doing QA testing for older devices); there is the really helpful command: which python. When entered into the python console or Anaconda Prompt: which python will display the directory associated with the currently executing Python Shell. This enables you to better keep track of to what particular python.exe the current window is referring to.

Follow up to the comments mentioning using virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper.
Here are the official docs and a good blog post to follow for getting started using virtualenv's is here:
https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/
http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html
http://exponential.io/blog/2015/02/10/install-virtualenv-and-virtualenvwrapper-on-ubuntu/
Also, once you are setup you can create virtualenv's specifying which python installation you want to use.
which python3
returns
/usr/bin/python3
Then create a virtualenv with that python path. Where example_env is the name of the virtualenv.
mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 example_env
Then activate the virtualenv using virtualenvwrapper.
workon example_env
Finally, install tensorflow and other dependencies with pip.
pip install tensorflow

the which command is very useful for finding the path to the executable that is first in your path. Zsh also has the where command, which will show you all instances of the given executable that show up in your path. For managing different python versions, you have a lot of options. The easiest for most people tends to be anaconda, using conda environments. The installer will ask you to add some stuff to your .bashrc file, which will then make anaconda's binaries come first in your path. Anything else you run after the .bashrc gets sourced after that, will then use that first, including PyCharm. For graphical desktop apps to pick up the change, you may need to log out and back in again. If you only need one version each of python 2 and python 3, you can just use the ones available via apt. Depending on your Ubuntu version, Python 2 is definitely installed by default as it is used by many system utilities, including apt itself. Some newer versions may also install python 3 by default, but I do not remember for sure. Another option is to install the versions of python you need in an alternate location, such as /opt/python/<version> and then using environment-modules (installed via apt install environment-modules) or Lmod to control which versions are being used, but that may or may not be easy/convenient to use with a desktop application such as PyCharm.
for TensorFlow, 1.11 is available in anaconda, but I don't remember if it's in the default channel or not.
