I cant install python on my windows 11
it says Could not access network location_\.
how do I fix it?
I tried disabling the windows firewall and my antivirus but it didn't help.
I tried running as administrator too.
I even tried to download python from pycharm but it didn't work.
I'm not sure which python version / distribution you're trying to install, but I was having issues installing Winpython64-3.7.10.0PyPy. After the file extraction would complete the files simply wouldn't be there.
I reattempted installation with Winpython64-3.9.5.0 and it worked like a charm. I installed to the C: directory.
I've run into some problems while trying to download packages with pip. Namely, when I run
pip install "dask[complete]"
on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7. Specifically, the package that throws this error is psutil.
I run into an #error: architecture not supported message. I believe this is because the installer is looking for the MacOS 10.14.6 SDKs, but I am on 10.15.7. One user on this post stated that installing a new Python 3 fixed the issue. Maybe this is because the newer Python comes with a cached version of the package that uses the MacOS 10.15.7 SDKs.
I'm guessing that there might be two solutions to this issue:
Download a non-cached version of psutil, which might be compatible with the version of Python I'm using as well as MacOS Catalina.
Download a newer version of Python 3, namely 3.8.5+, and replace the Xcode Python 3 with this version, enabling me to stay up-to-date with current Python and packages.
I'm wary of the second method because of any possible dependencies I will lose while updating, and I've also been made very aware through research that generally speaking, you don't want to mess with system Python installations.
I'm not opposed to being walked through the first solution, if it would indeed solve the problem, but am very curious about the second solution, again, if it is possible. If neither approach would work out as intended, has anyone encountered this issue and resolved it without using a fresh, SEPARATE install of Python? I don't really want to start messing with virtual environments, but if I must, I supposed I will just download PyCharm and restart there.
EDIT: After continuing to try to work around the issue, I've been led to believe that it is not being caused by an outdated version of psutil; could it be an outdated version of setup.py? In this case, would it indeed be an issue with an old Python version? I'm very new to configuring Python in depth like this, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try setting the environment variable ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" so Xcode 12 doesn't try to build an ARM64 universal binary. It worked for me on a different python package that had the same error.
ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" pip install "dask[complete]"
(Thanks to Keith Smiley's comment at on Bitbucket for pointing this out.)
I am installing Python Jenkins package on Windows 7 x64 bit PC.
I got following error:
'C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/param.h''. Python version
2.7.12.
Any help is appreciated.
A very similar question was asked for Python in Linux and the solution there actually worked for me in Windows as well: https://stackoverflow.com/a/51306963/13082985 That is, if you were trying:
pip install jenkins
install this package instead:
pip install python-jenkins
"sys/param.h" is known from unix/linux environments only.
I am not that sure but it might be further available with GNU C as well.
I have to assume something in your configuration or setup went horribly wrong.
As this question is rather specific to a certain project you might have more luck finding the answer if asking this directly at their project support channels.
I know this question has been asked a few times before, but none of the answers I've read have managed to solve my problem.
When I try to run any of the following, I get an error saying "pip.exe has stopped working:
easy_install
pip
pip3
It was working for me previously (the last time I used it was probably a month ago), but not anymore. I'm using Python 3.4.4, I checked the PATH and it's configured correctly. Does anyone know what else might be causing the issue?
I had the same problem before and the solution is quite simple.
First try updating pip via command:
pip install --upgrade pip
If that doesn't work try uninstalling current version of python and reinstalling the newest version.
Note1: Do not just delete install files and files in your C drive ,uninstall everything packages, everything that might cause problems, especially delete old python packages and extensions they might not work with the newest python version and that might be the problem. You can see in python website which packages and extensions are supported.
Note2: Do not and I repeat DO NOT install .msi or .exe extensions they don't work anymore always use .whl (wheel) files. If you have one .msi or .exe uninstall them form your system completely; that also means that you have to uninstall them from command prompt.
Note3: Always check if the .whl is compatible with your Python version.
Note4: Also don't forget to save your projects before doing anything.
Hope that works :D
Happy Coding.
some months ago, I installed Python 2.7 on my laptop (my os is Windows 7).
After, I decided to use Python xy 2.7.3 instead of 'pure' Python; so, as suggested, I removed Python 2.7 and tried to install Python xy 2.7.3. However, when I tried to run the .exe file for installation, a warning window appears telling me that Python 2.7 is already installed on my computer. I tried to install a different version of Python xy (2.6) and everything went fine; however, I'd really prefer to use the latest version of Python xy.
Actually, I can't figure out what went wrong whie uninstalling Python 2.7; does someone have any clue?
I can tell you that I followed the 'normal' procedure for programm uninstalltion; control panel -> Programs -> Remove Program
Thanks in advance

Run regedit, backup and delete the registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python
My problem occurred when changing from Canopy to Python(x,y).
So, also delete all folders that are left behind when uninstalling.
https://support.enthought.com/entries/23580651-Uninstalling-Canopy
I also had this issue as well. It was due to third party installs. Even though you have uninstalled python, it leaves all the third party libraries that were installed and I think Python(x,y) just detects the directory.
To fix, uninstall Python 2.7 and then check to see if C:\Python27 still exists. If it does, go ahead and delete and then try installing Python(x,y). That is what worked for me.
I faced this issue: I tried to uninstall the python and fresh install, reason my pip version issue was not getting resolved. So I deleted the python folder, removed python from system path, and when I tried to uninstall from "Uninstall a program" in control panel, it showed "Windows installation package" error window and could not clean uninstall.
Solution what i found was: In the "Uninstall a program" select python and click repair. And then uninstall the python, it worked for me. Hope this helps and save some time.
PS: I am pretty new to python, and any help correcting me would be appreciated.
Maybe to put an answer out there.
Uninstalling anything from windows can have multiple side effects residing completly on your specific machine. As to what is common:
-> Python sets itself in your windows path. Here is how to modify your windows path: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
It means that there is a probability that python is gone but the path entry might not be. That is a guess however -> more information needed
-> Are you sure that everything was removed from your computer? If you already did the normal uninstalling process - try to look up if any python directory is still present.
-> Thirdparty installed? Have you downloaded any libs that are still on your machine.
Besides from that - it could be anything - the more information you give us the more we can say about it.
Maybe this post will help you: How to completely remove Python from a Windows machine?
I had python 2.7.12 and wanted to uninstall it for 2.7.9. I had the same problem as you and to fix it I tried to delete all of the local files and then uninstall however it still gave me the same error. So instead I decided to repair the python 2.7.12 and then uninstall which worked perfectly and completely got rid of the error.
I had python 2.7 installed and enthought canopy. I wanted to switch to python(x,y) to access a full version of the OpenCV library. python(x,y) installation complained about python 2.7 already being installed after:
1)Using windows control panel
2)Removing all lingering python files
3)Removing the windows path as suggested above
Not until I removed all registry entries related to python/enthough did python(x,y) install without issue.
I installed Enthought before. When I wanted to install Python(x,y) instead, I met the problems above.
After I had tried to uninstall Enthought and Python(x,y) from the Control Panel and then restart the PC, the problem still occured the next time I installed Python(x,y).
I solved this problem by:
deleting all the relevant files in C:/User/UserName/AppData/ about Python, including the third party softwares like Enthought;
deleting the Path in user and system Environment;
=====the two steps were failed if I didn't do the third step.=====
deleting the register keys as #Daniel said. (include all the relevant keys with the prefix py if you installed the third party software about Python. )
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Python\
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python
Locate that set up file which was used to install Python. Run it and choose repair. If that doesn't solve the problem. Go to c:\Python(x,y) and delete this folder completely by shift+Del.
Run that set up file again and click on "Change" which will ultimately install the Python again. By default in my case option to add path and making that version of Python the default on my system was unchecked which can be figured out by seeing the red cross mark in one of the installation screen. Click on it if you want set up to make it default Python version and also click on the option to indicate you want the path to be added in windows environment variable.
No need to touch registry as previous ones will be overwritten again.
In my case it worked. I was getting error like:
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec
LookupError: no codec search functions registered: can't find encoding
Besides that un-installation was failing from control panel. So above steps solved all of my problem. Hope it helps.
I Repaired/Modified to install all the components for the Python
version I wanted to uninstall.
Once that was done, I clicked on Uninstall/Change and that uninstalled it for good.
