Why does "pip install" inside Python raise a SyntaxError?
(7 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I followed these instructions for installing pip on Windows 7. When I try to install the example package with pip install httpie (or any other package), it gives me the following error:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
It also highlights the word install. And that's it. I am using Python 3.3.1 and used the corresponding installers in the instructions at the link above. Finally, I apologize if you consider this a duplicate, but Stack Overflow will not allow me to post on the answer in the original thread and I am getting an error message that they do not discuss.
You should type that in the command prompt, not in Python.
You're typing those commands in Python. They are not Python commands, they are shell commands. Type them in your shell!

I've been trying to install the NumPy library on my system but it hasn't been working out. I tried installing directly from my IDE but it says error occurred when installing package ''NumPy'. Details..'. then I tried using pip method but it keeps on telling me "pip is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch". Please give me an advice on what to do concerning it
Try following these steps and see if the problem is resolved.
1.Open CMD
2.Type 'pip install numpy' and hit enter.
It should start the installation. After you see the "Successfully Installed" message, go back to your IDLE and try importing numpy, it should work.

I am trying to install PIL. I have tried going through the settings and do it that way. When that didn't work, I tried to do it through the terminal. I got an error message:
C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\Paul's stuff\Paul\CpmpProject\venv\Scripts\python.exe" "C:/Users/Chris/Desktop/Paul's stuff/Paul/CpmpProject/Game.py"
File "C:/Users/Chris/Desktop/Paul's stuff/Paul/CpmpProject/Game.py", line 3
pip install PIL
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax`
I have no idea how to install PIL now and am hoping someone can help me. I am working with python 3 and have updated pip and set up tools.
You'll have to enter pip install on your command line, it's not valid Python code.
Also, as others have mentioned, install pillow instead of PIL, the interface is identical.

pip install wordcloud
This gives me the error "Can't find vcvarsall.bat".
I also tried to install the whl version but everyone I tried gave me the error "not a supported whl on this platform".
Let me know if I need to explain something better.
You need to install:

Then pip should work fine!

What does "SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'" mean in Python?
(11 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
(1) I need to install pyzipcode. But whenever I execute command
conda install pyzipcode it gives
Syntax Error: Missing parenthesis in call to 'print'.
I am using Python3. I downloaded file from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyzipcod, but that didn't work either.
(2) I tried using pip command as well from https://anaconda.org/search?q=pyzipcode
Firstly it asked *is sphinx installed? If not try, sudo easy_install sphinx. Then it gave Syntax error: Missing parenthesis in call to 'print'. Whereas I have already installed sphinx.
(3)Then I tried to install with conda install -c aaron2 pyzipcode=0.4
Again failed and gave the error: package missing in current win-64 channels: pyzipcode 0.4"
Would somebody please help me out with pyzipcode installation?
The error Missing parenthesis in call to 'print'. indicates you are using a python 2.x installation in python 3. Try uninstalling the current Sphinx and re-installing from
http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/stable/install.html
If using pip, use pip3, which is for python 3.x

New to Python here. I am running Python 2.7.7 x86 and Windows 7. I am trying to install the requests module. I've tried:
pip install requests
in the Python shell and in the Windows command line (cmd) (I saw this question, which suggested using cmd), and I keep getting the same error:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I tried to check if pip even installed correctly by running:
installed_packages = pip.get_installed_distributions()
installed_packages_list = sorted(["%s==%s" % (i.key, i.version) for i in installed_packages])
print installed_packages_list
Which I got from this question. I got [] as the output. I'm interpreting this to mean that pip wasn't successfully installed. I tried reinstalling pip by running get-pip.py, and got the output:
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:\python27\lib\site-packages
Cleaning up...
Which I'm interpreting as Python telling me pip was installed. I'm really confused now... how do I make sure pip is correctly installed, and then install the requests module? Any help would be appreciated.
This is a commonly asked question, and one for which there's hardly a canonical answer that would be on-topic for SO (honestly this is more a Superuser thing, but since it's pertinent to coding -- even though it's NOT coding by any means -- it will fly here).
If you have pip (by running get-pip.py or etc) it will exist in your Python directory. If you're running Python 2.7, let's assume that that directory lives at C:\Python27\. In which case, pip exists at C:\Python27\scripts\pip.exe.
You can add that to your %PATH%, or navigate there each time you want to use pip. Whatever is most convenient. If nothing else:
COMMAND PROMPT WINDOW:
C:\users\yourname>set PATH = %PATH%;C:\python27\scripts
C:\users\yourname>pip install requests
