When I tried to install package sacrebleu, I got an error like this:
Installation Error
It said "System cannot find the specified file". However I have no idea how to solve it.
I have tried installing package mecab-python3. But it confuses me that it was successfully installed in Anaconda but got an error, "Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required", in original python38 environment.
Whether the package mecab-python3 has been installed or not, I still got the same error and cannot install sacrebleu.
I also tried restarting my machine but it does not work.
Is there anyone could solve it? or I want to know if there is any alternative package I can use to calculate BLEU score.
Thanks Anyway!
My Environment
Windows 10
Python 3.8
pip 20.1.1
Anaconda3 v4.8.2
I'm the mecab-python3 maintainer. Sorry it's giving you trouble.
The README has a link to the C++ runtime pack you have to install on Windows, if you install that it should work.
I have heard reports of the package not working with Anaconda on Windows specifically, though it seems to work sometimes. If you have trouble please open an issue and I'll try to fix it. On the other hand, if you aren't processing Japanese there's no reason to import the module and that may be a bug in sacrebleu.
Ah, actually, I just saw your screenshot - didn't notice it before.
Versions before 1.0 don't support Windows. But to keep using the old dictionary, sacrebleu has to make some changes, so they don't support 1.0+ yet. I think they are working on it, see this issue.
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.
I have had a strange error today when I tried to upgrade some of my python apps (aka pip and aws clt) and received the following error:
File "/usr/bin/easy_install", line 31
continue
^
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
Then I tried running easy_install --version and received the same error. I have all three of my computers (Macbook Pro, iMac, and Mac Pro) running the same commands, only my Macbook Pro has this error (and all of them share the identical python version and apps). I like to know what might be the cause of this error message.
P.S. I have tried to copy the "/usr/bin/easy_install" file from one computer to another and received the same error message.
This is really just my guessing. I have signed up for Apple Developer programer and used a beta test version of OS X. I then turned off the developer mode and returned to the ordinary Yosemite but the funny part is I cannot use easy_install afterward. I think turning off the developer mode is the same as turning off easy_install. I am not entirely sure if that is true but you can give it a try. Either reinstall the OS X, or simply turn the developer mode back on.
I am not really an expert on this so please consider this with caution ;)
I also run into this error recently and I think it is due to having multiple versions of easy_install and(!) multiple versions of python available.
in my case I have the following versions available:
easy_install
easy_install-2.6
easy_install-2.7
easy_install-3.4
after running
sudo easy_install-2.7 pip
I was able to (re)-install pip.
notes:
easy_install launches #!/usr/bin/python
in my case /usr/bin/python is a symlink to version 3.4 of python
easy_install is probably written for python 2.x and fails with error "inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation" when using python 3.x
i I suggest you to upload the code.
it look like you don't use the correct tabulation
something like that:
for i in range(0,5):
print i
print i**2
I have uninstalled python 2.5 and installed 2.7 and 3.4 on my Mac OS X 10.9.2.
Somehow when i try to install a new module, i am getting the following error
Thomass-MacBook-Pro:dev thomas$ pip install lxml
-bash: /usr/local/bin/pip: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
I googled and tried things for hours, played around with symlinks but somehow the system still thinks that 2.5 is the standard version.
Check what Python version are using pip command
head -1 /usr/local/bin/pip | sed s/#\!//g
In my OSX, the python is:
/usr/bin/python
Then, check that python version:
/usr/bin/python -V
If you get 2.5 then something was wrong with your python runtime upgrade, replace the first line in /usr/local/bin/pip by the python2.7 executable. This is not elegant, but It should work temporary until you get clear your system
This sounds a bit odd, but in googling for my similar error* , I found this post and decided to try restarting my machine. That actually made everything start working, which makes me think there was a caching issue. I see this issue opened was about a week ago for you, so hopefully you're in better shape now.
* virtualenv-2.7 thought that was associated with a recently uninstalled python3.4, but virtualenv correctly was associated with 2.7
When running python26 under windows OS (64bits).....
I have got errors like:
import win32api" error in Python 2.6: pywintypes26.dll
or
pythoncom26.dll missing
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I have done the msi installation for python26
all dlls can be found under C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32
After I copy pywintypes26.dll and pythoncom26.dll from C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32 to C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32 -> Solve the problem!
I also hit a problem importing win32api.
The post-install script for pywin32 failed, which should copy pythoncom26.dll, pythoncomloader26.dll, and pywintypes26.dll, among other things. I ran it by hand and my installation was fixed.
python scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install
I had a similar problem when installing under 64 bit Python 3.4.2. I ran the install executable pywin32‑219.win‑amd64‑py3.4.exe from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ .
On the site it states clearly:
"Python 3.4 users must manually run python.exe Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install from an elevated command prompt."
which I did not do first time round; I installed from a normal prompt getting the following feedback:
c:\python34>python.exe Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install
Copied pythoncom34.dll to C:\Python34\pythoncom34.dll
Copied pywintypes34.dll to C:\Python34\pywintypes34.dll
You do not have the permissions to install COM objects.
The sample COM objects were not registered.
etc.etc.
Finishing with "The pywin32 extensions were succesfully installed" ...
I only read the last sentence and I started to run some code resulting in getting these dll load fails.
So, did some research, and started an elevated prompt (how: see "http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/783-elevated-command-prompt.html") and again ran:
c:\python34>python.exe Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install
Copied pythoncom34.dll to C:\Windows\system32\pythoncom34.dll
Copied pywintypes34.dll to C:\Windows\system32\pywintypes34.dll

The pywin32 extensions were successfully installed.
And now my code runs happily (as far as this matter is concerned... sigh, so much other stuff to do).
Run the installer as Administrator and it works:
Right click on pywin32-installer.exe
Choose "Run as Administrator"
As suggested above the post install script is not run, this issue can be seen when installing from a wheel (As I encountered)
python scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install
If find you have this issue when installing via wheels, then installing it from here can solve the above issue.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypiwin32
There appears to be a bug in the installer. The recommended workaround in the ticket is the same one as proposed by Dave Bremer.
I could fix this situation by removing all installed Python3.4 versions (had forgotten to uninstall 3.4.1 before installing 3.4.2), deleting C:\Python34 and after installing Python 3.4.2 pywin32-219.win32-py34.exe could be installed and called without problems.
So, copying around DLLs should NOT be necessary!
I always install the Active State Python distro which installs the win32 packages for you and gets it right.
If the above didn't fix the problem, you're still missing the msvcr100.dll file. It's either in your \System32\ folder, or more likely in your c:\PythonXX\Lib\site-packages\win32\ folder.
That fixed it for me after hours of search to no avail, even though it looks like the import still isn't resolved as it should be (PyCharm still gives me the squiggly underline), but it works.
First I was using pip to install pywin32 in anaconda environment, that's why no matter what I did it was failing. After trial and error, I figured out that
conda install pywin32
is the right way to install pywin32 in the anaconda package manager.
I don't know whether it's too late or not to answer this question. I also hit this problem, and I tried every method above, but neither of them worked.
Finally, I found the reason. When we install pywin32, we must choose the one that fits python's version(2.6， 2.7， 3.3， etc) and python's bit number(x64 or x86). Notice, it must fit python's bit number, not PC's bit number. If you install x86 python in a x64 PC, you have to install a pywin32 with x86.
In my case i had to copy pywintypes26.dll and pythoncom26.dll files into C:\Windows\System32 folder to work it properly in jupyter notebook.
