I am using Python 2.5 (and need to stay with that) and have already downloaded xlrd 0.8.0 and xlwt 0.7.2, and they both seem to be working OK.
I will be needing to read from and write to Excel spreadsheets, and so believe I will need to add xlutils as well. The problem is, I can't install it so far.
I have pip and tried the simple:
pip install xlutils
That ran and downloaded xlutils, but got hung up with:
Downloading/unpacking xlutils
Downloading xlutils-1.6.0.tar.gz (54Kb): 54Kb downloaded
Running setup.py egg_info for package xlutils
Downloading/unpacking xlrd>=0.7.2 (from xlutils)
Downloading xlrd-0.9.2.tar.gz (167Kb): 167Kb downloaded
Running setup.py egg_info for package xlrd
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 14, in <module>

Exception: This version of xlrd requires Python 2.6 or above. For older versions of Python, you can use the 0.8 series.
... [snipping some]
----------------------------------------
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in C:\Python25\Lib\sit
e-packages\xlutils-1.6.0\build\xlrd
So then I figured it was trying to download a newer xlrd (which I can't use with Python 2.5) and since I already have xlrd installed, it breaks on that.
I then tried to just download xlutils from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlutils, and then unzipped it with 7zip, put the xlutils folder under Python25>Lib>site-packages, cd'd there, and did:
python setup.py install
but that gives me this error in the cmd window:
C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\xlutils-1.6.0>python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 5, in <module>
from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools
So how can I install this?
First of all, you do not need xlutils just to read and write Excel files. You can read them with xlrd and write them with xlwt and provide your own "glue" in the Python code that you write yourself.
That said, xlutils does provide features that make some things more convenient than writing them for yourself (that is the point of its existence). So the second part of my answer is: You do not need to "install" xlutils per se. You can just unpack it and put the xlutils directory into site-packages and be off and running. This is true for pretty much every pure-Python package, as far as I know. (Some other packages are partially written in C (or sometimes other languages) and these often require specific installation steps.) So why do pure-Python packages provide a setup.py script? Usually to run tests or to build .pyc files, both of which are optional.
xlutils 1.4.1 is compatible with python 2.5. So this should work:
pip install xlutils==1.4.1
Try install python-setuptools package.
In Debian:
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
For 3.x version
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
pip3 install xlutils
Using pip3 instead of pip solved it for me.

I have tried installing zlib1211 as well.
I have tried 17 versions of Pillow. 4.0.0, 3.4.2 (succeeded but Reportlab requires 4.0 minimum), 6.1.0, and I've tried .whls and .eggs and such to no avail. I've been to dozens of pages looking to solve each issue I've come across, and I have no more things to try. zlib isn't even in pypi.
What else can I do?
zlib isn't a python package, you can't use pip to install it.
you can try this or use cygwin
I finally found a workable solution. As #Sobhan mentioned, I can't use pip to install zlib. However, once I installed zlib from his link, I still couldn't get Pillow to install, because the headers or libraries couldn't be found for my Pillow install.
#ash's answer here finally helped. I apparently needed to use the Pillow .exe to install Pillow instead of banging my head against the wall with pip for that, too. Reportlab then installed via pip without incident.
i'm trying to update the pyodbc package from 4.0.16 to 4.0.22.
i dont have internet access on the machine i'm working on so downloaded the file and copied to across the network.
running
pip install S:\Temp\PMCD\pyodbc-4.0.22-py27hc56fc5f_0(1).tar.bz2
results in the following error:

setuptools has already been updated to latest(38.5.1) and pip as well (9.0.1)
i used pip to update setuptools and pip itself (via downloaded whl files), so i dont think pip is an issue.
i already managed to sucessfully upgrade pyodbc on my local machine from 16 to 22, so the whl file i have not sure whats going on.
Any ideas whats going on?
Could i manually unzip the package and place it directly in the site-packages? that didnt seem to do anything.
If your target machine does not have a direct Internet connection you can still install pyodbc by
using another machine to download the appropriate wheel (.whl) file from PyPI,
copying that file to your target machine (via LAN, SneakerNet, ...), and
using pip install <wheel_file_location>
For example,
pip install C:\__tmp\pyodbc-4.0.22-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl
The naming convention for wheel files is described in PEP 491.
The 64-bit wheel files for Windows are tagged as "win_amd64" because that's what the Windows version of distutils reports as the platform:
>>> from distutils import util
>>> distutils.util.get_platform()
'win-amd64'
I am new to Python and I am trying to install recsys package.
http://ocelma.net/software/python-recsys/build/html/installation.html
For this i need to install some pre-requiste packages, so i have to run this using pip
pip install csc-pysparse networkx divisi2
But whenever i run this i get the following in logs

I checked that setuptools exist in my python installation here
C:\Python34\lib\site-packages
I have ran everything from unstinalling setuptools to install it again, upgrade command, but it does not work.
Not able to figure out why setuptools is not found. Is it not found in the path of where pip resolves it from ?
cheers,
Saurav
The code triggering the error is Python 2-specific and is illegal in Python 3.
Apparently, csc-pysparse doesn't support Python 3 (its README only mentions 2.6) and looks abandoned (6 years since last commit).
Some guys out there suggest replacing it with SciPy.
The error is coming from the installation code of recsys package. In order to avoid this error, you need to install setuptools separately.
For debian machines, the below command will work.
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
For other machines, please checkout installation instructions at the link
Once setuptools package is installed, you can proceed with csc-pysparse installation.
I am trying to install a module on python 3.2 but am unable to. I am using Windows 7. I need to have the module installed only on Python 3.2, so solutions that work for other versions of Python won't be helpful to me (I had no problem installing modules in Python 2.7 or 3.3, 3,4) I got rid of all my other versions of python, because I thought that might be the problem.
I have tried both using pip install, and to manually install the package and neither works. At first glance it looks like I am installing setuptools and pip correctly. Here is the output I get when I try to install pip
Installed c:\python32\lib\site-packages\setuptools-7.0-py3.2.egg

PS C:\> python32 .\get-pip.py
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:\python32\lib\site-packages
Cleaning up...
PS C:\> pip install geopy
It looks fine, right?
Then when I try to use by entering pip install geopy Here is the output I get
pip: the termpipis not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function or operable program etc. I made sure that python 3.2 was specified in the path environments, and uninstalled all other versions of pythons. I don't know what else I can do?
I also tried to manually install geopy. I went to the geopy page on github and pressed on "Download ZIP". I then extracted the folder to lib/site-packages directory in python32. When I tried to install using the setup.py (python32 setup.py install) Here is the error message that I got. I am not sure what this error message means
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 6, in <module>

def __init__(self, address=u"", point=None, raw=None):
Update: GeoPy 1.6.0 introduced support for Python 3.2, so update it and it should install and work.
Old answer:
This is a bug with geopy, and/or it doesn't support Python 3.2. With this Python release, strings cannot be in the form u"the string", since it is a SyntaxError. This was fixed with PEP-414 for Python 3.3.
While you can install the package, a quick fix for geopy is to edit the installed files to remove the u in several module files, such as "C:\python32\lib\site-packages\geopy-master\geopy\location.py" (as shown in your question).
For example:
Change address=u"" to address=""
Change signature_method=u"HMAC-SHA1" to signature_method="HMAC-SHA1"
Also watch out for single quote changes, e.g. u'the string'
etc.
I'm trying to install python-docx so I typed in the cmd
easy_install python-docx
and got:
Searching for python-docx

but when I open python and type:

I got:

module>
from lxml import etree
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.
How can I solve this import error? what is missing?
This symptom can arise when you have both a legacy version and a new version of python-docx installed. I recommend you uninstall both completely and then install python-docx using pip. In general I recommend avoiding the use of easy_install anymore.
The legacy versions (v0.2.x) have the install-package name 'docx'. The new version uses the name 'python-docx' (although both import as 'docx' once installed). If you installed with pip doing the uninstall/reinstall would look something like this:
$ pip freeze
...
docx
...
python-docx
...
$ pip uninstall docx
...
$ pip uninstall python-docx
...
$ pip install python-docx
...
It sounds like you used easy_install originally, so you might need to uninstall manually, although I would try first and see if pip will get it done for you. If not, a quick search on python easy_install uninstall will lead you to useful resources. It might involve visiting "c:\python26\lib\site-packages\" and removing any files or directories that start with 'docx' or 'python-docx'.
This should get you further along. If it still gives you trouble after doing this, let me know the new symptoms. You should be able to install pretty transparently on an uncorrupted Python installation if you use pip.
I too was getting same 'DLL load failed' error. Stupid mistake on my part, but had installed 32 bit Python on to 64 bit Windows. Un-installed 32 bit version, installed 64 bit version - problem sorted.
