I am relatively new to Linux/Ubuntu (so please take it easy on me) and I am trying to install Autokey to use the text expansion functionality. I have tried installing it from the instructions on the Github page here - https://github.com/autokey/autokey#installation
However, no matter whether I follow the installation process under the Ubuntu/Mint/Debian section or the instructions to install via pip I cannot seem to get the program working.
The installation seems to be successful (running a 'which' command gives the path installed) but clicking on the icon does not launch the program.
I have also tried to install directly from Ubuntu/GNOME software manager but that also will not launch the program once installed.
I have tried installing both the GTK and QT frontends and neither will launch. I don't get an error message or anything. I have opened up the System Monitor to see if a process even appears (however briefly) and there's nothing.
Typing autokey-gtk into Terminal gives:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/autokey/gtkapp.py:24: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk, GObject, GLib

Can anyone please help? Thank you.
I am a newbie too and installed Autokey 0.90.4, which did not work for me either. Someone suggested I try 0.95.1 because the other version is 7 years old.
I installed the new version with some acrobatics from the Autokey Github page, using the PIP method. At 1st it did not work, but after doing import setuptools it did. That might be a coincidence since it was after installation of the Ak package itself.
I know this sounds convoluted, but I am not familiar (yet?) with Linux. Anyway 0.95 works for me.
install module python-xlib and it will work, like this:
On Deb:
apt install python3-xlib
You might later need python autokey module as well:
pip install autokey

I recently got into development with Python running on WSL (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS).
I followed the documentation from here and I'm able to run simple python scripts.
I started playing around with libraries that I installed using the pip3 command such as numpy and pandas and these work fine.
The problem arises when I try to use the statsmodels package.
I've installed it using pip3 install statsmodels
I can see the package in /home/username/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/statsmodels I can even see the api.py file in that directory, however, when I type import statsmodels.api as sm as recommended on the statsmodels website I get:
Console output:
username#DESKTOP-1JP4BIE:/mnt/c/users/username/dev/project/playground$ python3 statsmodels.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "statsmodels.py", line 5, in <module>
import statsmodels.api as sm
File "/mnt/c/username/chris/dev/project/playground/statsmodels.py", line 5, in <module>
import statsmodels.api as sm
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'statsmodels.api'; 'statsmodels' is not a package
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling (did not work)
I really can't see anything that differentiates this package from the others that I've installed. Does anyone have any insights?
Thanks #Vorsprung durch Technik
The issue was that my file name was statsmodels.py.
I'll remember to be more careful when naming my python files.
I have some difficulties trying to install Scipy for Python 3.5 on a Windows 10 machine and I hope I can find some help here. So here is what I have done so far.
I have downloaded the numpy+mkl for python 3.5 and 64bit version as well as the scipy0.18.1 for the same versions, from Gohlke's website
I installed the numpy+mkl whl with:
python -m pip install numpy-1.11.2+mkl-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
all goes well.
then I install the scipy package the same way like:
python -m pip install scipy-0.18.1-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
This also completes.
However, when I try to run python afterwards I get the following error:
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python35\Lib\site-packages\scipy\io\__init__.py" , line 97, in <module>
File "C:\Python35\Lib\site-packages\scipy\io\matlab\__init__.py", line 13 in <module>
File "C:\Python35\Lib\site-packages\scipy\io\matlab\mio.py", line 8 in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'numpy'
I also get a pop-up that Python has stopped working.
I have tried a different order in which I installed the packages, but all lead to the error mentioned when Scipy is installed.
I also installed did this on a windows 7 machine and there it works.
Does anybody have any idea what causes this issue?
I also had some issues. So I just installed Anaconda3 insted of python directly.
I am running Python 3.5 on Windows 8. I am trying to install pygame. I downloaded and ran
pygame-1.9.2a0.win32-py3.2.msi (6.4 Mb)
from
http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml
From python I get, after starting a new session:
>>> import pygame
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in <module>
import pygame
ImportError: No module named 'pygame'
How do I install? Was my PythonPath updated? Looking at sys.path, it doesn't look like it. How do I get Python to see the library? Where was the library installed? Thanks for the help.
Update1:
The first step i the pygame intsaller states "Select Python Installations - Select the locations where pygame-1.9.2a0 should be installed." Underneath that is a selection that states "Python from another location". This doesn't make sense to me. Anyone?
Update2: I solved the problem - I reinstalled python in the default location (it wasn't before). The pygame installer doesn't seem to support custom installations. Ok, fixed. Thanks all for the help.
Up to now, Windows binaries must match the Python binaries. ...py-3.2.msi is for 3.2 and will not work with 3.5. Either get a 3.5 binary from the site you already used or use pip to install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win32.whl from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ Use pip install /? to get info on how to install from somewhere other than pypi. It might be easier to download the file to your machine first. The site above says a bit about this.
Make sure you have 32-bit python and pygame.
I have recently installed SimpleCV on Windows 10 from the superpack. Everything went well during the installation, and I was able to successfully run the first example problem in "Practical Computer Vision with SimpleCV" (good book, btw) from within IDLE. Here's the code:
from SimpleCV import Camera, Display, Image
cam = Camera()
display = Display()
img = cam.getImage()
img.save(display)
Simple enough, and it worked fine. Where I ran into problems was when I tried to start up the SimpleCV console. First of all, no link was created on the Windows desktop, and there was nothing for SimpleCV on the Start menu. So, I tried the other methods listed in the book. First, from the console, I tried to run it as a Python module:
C:\User> python -m SimpleCV.init
And what I got back was:
ERROR:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\lib\runpy.py", line 162, in _run_module_as_main

from Shell import *
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\SimpleCV\Shell\Shell.py", line 54, in <module>
raise(e)
ImportError: No module named IPython
Next, I tried the listed alternative: just starting python and importing and executing the Shell. Entering:
>>> from SimpleCV import Shell
resulted in the same error as above.
I also tried installing ipython by running pip. But, it looks like pip didn't get installed either.
So, what environmental variable did the installation program not set correctly? Just so you know, I posted this same question on the SimpleCV site, but have not received a response as of yet.
--- 23 Dec 2015
Chipping away at this. Read the banner on setuputils install. Ran Python27\Scripts\easy_install.exe. Can now call pip. However, entering this at the command line:
C:\Users> pip install ipython
gives this error:
C:\Python27\lib\site--packages\pip-7.1.2-py2.7.egg\pip\_vendor\requests\packages\urllib3\util\ssl_.py:90: InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cuase certain SSL connections to fail. For more information, see...
So, I'm making progress. Any suggestions?
Have you tried to install ipython from source code?
$ tar -xzf ipython.tar.gz
$ cd ipython
$ python setup.py install
See https://ipython.org/ipython-doc/3/install/install.html
There are a lot of requirements more. I recommend the SimpleCV's github repository instructions https://github.com/sightmachine/SimpleCV#windows-8
I am trying to run PyQt4 in Maya 2014 and I keep getting the error that no modules was found etc.
I am a Mac user on OS X 10.7.5 and I have tried running the installation following this link as my guide.
Unfortunately though I am able to install everything as stated, but as I am unable to get the IDLE.app from MacPorts, thus I tried checking whether the PyQt4 is installed either by terminal or through Maya itself where I typed in from PyQt4.QtGui import *
However both methods still state the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named PyQt4.QtGui
Can anyone help me through? Or do I still need to install something else just for Maya-usage?
It would seems that the python package in my machine is Python 2.7.1 as depicted from the terminal
For 2014+ you may want to use PySide, which comes with your Maya and won't need separate installation.
