So I've installed scons via Anaconda's conda install scons under Windows 10 (Python 3.6) and could not execute it via the command line so I've added C:\Users\D\Anaconda3\envs\py36\Scripts\ to my Path (even tough C:\Users\Dominik\Anaconda3 was already in there).
Now I can execute it in the Powershell, but I get an error, because it is unable find engine files:
scons
SCons import failed. Unable to find engine files in:
C:\Users\D\Anaconda3\envs\py36\Scripts\..\engine
C:\Users\D\Anaconda3\envs\py36\Scripts\scons-local-3.0.1

C:\Users\D\Anaconda3\scons-3.0.1
C:\Users\D\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\scons-3.0.1

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\D\Anaconda3\envs\py36\Scripts\scons.py", line 192, in <module>
import SCons.Script
ImportError: No module named 'SCons'
Does someone know how to further investigate/fix this problem?
I found it thanks to nekomatic.
If you use the anaconda prompt (with the correct environment activated or in my case the correct shortcut leading to anaconda prompt in that environment), scons runs just fine.
See this link explaining how anaconda uses the path on windows and whats the advantage of using the anaconda prompt (mainly it dynamically manages PATH correctly for that session only with full knowledge of conda environments).

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.

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
lately using 9.0.1, I have been using Project Interpreter to import modules for my files. I opened up a new project in PyCharm today to try and test 10.0.1. Using the Pip version of 10.0.1, I couldn't install packages into my file.
The command output was :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 2017.3.3\helpers\packaging_tool.py", line 192, in main
retcode = do_install(pkgs)
File "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 2017.3.3\helpers\packaging_tool.py", line 109, in do_install
return pip.main(['install'] + pkgs)
AttributeError: module 'pip' has no attribute 'main'
I googled this and it said that installing modules through pip was now unsupported, especially for
pip._internal.main
After looking at this site : https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/user_guide/#using-pip-from-your-program for a while, it says to use :
subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, '-m', 'pip', 'install', 'my_package'])
I tried executing it and command prompt said that subprocess.check_call is not an internal or external file.
i also tried executing the commands through Command Prompt and downgrading my pip to 9.0.1 but none of this worked. When I changed Pip to 9.0.1 in Command Prompt, it had no effect on PyCharm.
Can anyone help with trying to import modules into PyCharm because I am currently trying to make a webcrawler using modules beautifulsoup4 and it is not letting me import it.
Sorry if this is a re-post. I have been searching for hours and there are a lot of similar problems, but they are not exactly the same as my issue.
I have been working with Python27 on my 64bit Windows for a while now and I would like to install Python 3 in parallel.
I downloaded and executed the installation .exe of Python 3.5 for 64bit Windows. The installation worked without any errors and added C:/Python35 to the Windows PATH variable.
However, when I click on python.exe in the directory C:\Python35, instead of launching a python 3.5 shell as it's supposed to do, it pops up a Window saying
Python has stopped working
Also there is a command shell saying:
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system
codec File "C:\Python27\Lib\encodings__init__.py", line 123
raise CodecRegistryError,\
^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Current thread 0x00001ce0 (most recent call first):
So appearently Python 3.5 is using the Lib directory of Python 2.7. This is probably related to the PYTHONPATH variable that is set to
C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Lib;C:\Python27\DLLs;C:\Python27\Lib\lib-tk
When I change the PYHTONPATH variable to
C:\Python35;C:\Python35\Lib;C:\Python27\DLLs;C:\Python35\Lib\lib-tk
Python 3.5 works, but Python 2.7 throws the error above.
Is there any way to permanently define that the command "python3" uses one PYTHONPATH and the command "python2" uses another PYTHONPATH?
Copying python.exe and renaming it to python3.exe didn't help. Neither did uninstalling and installing Python 3.5 again.
I have a lot of old jupyter notebooks that are written in Python 2.7 and it would be great if I could continue to use them by choosing different kernels (see here).
I am a complete newbie at Python. I wanted to try to see if Pyomo (a Python package for mathematical modeling) could work under IronPython because all my code for generating the data needed for Pyomo is in C#.
I installed IronPython 2.7.5, then tried as an administrator the advice found in http://blog.ironpython.net/2014/12/pip-in-ironpython-275.html#disqus_thread on how to run "pip" for IronPython. I used the exact example they gave (installing html5lib):
ipy -X:Frames -m ensure pip
ipy -X:Frames -m pip install html5lib
The first line worked, and I see in the Lib/site-packages directory a folder called pip-6.1.1-py2.7.egg with lots of python code in it.
For the second line, I received the error:
Unhandled exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\runpy.py", line 170, in run_module
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\runpy.py", line 111, in _get_module_details
ImportError: No module named urllib; 'pip' is a package and cannot be directly executed
At this point, I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.
Just in case this helps, printing out the sys.version gives:
2.7.5 (IronPython 2.7.5 (2.7.5.0) on .NET 4.0.30319.34209 (32-bit))
I encountered the same problem. It seems that IronPython can't deal with more recent versions of pip. What I did was:
remove all traces from pip and setuptools from IronPython's Lib\site-packages folder
run from a commandline: ipy.exe -X:Frames -m ensurepip
this installed an old version of pip, one that IronPython understands. Verify this by checking that a folder pip-1.5.6.dist-info appears in IronPython's Lib/site-packages
Moral of the story; don't upgrade to a newer pip version when using IronPython
I've looked around on SO, and the answers I have found to my problem haven't allowed me to solve it yet.
I want to use isolated virtualenv environments, but for one reason or another, virtualenv keeps loading global site packages, when in django's shell...
I tried to clean up PATH variables, until only c:\Python26\Scripts and c:\Python26 remain. I then create my environment.
virtualenv --distribute --no-site-packages myproject
I then activate the virtualenv. PATH is now (irrelevant vars scrapped):
PATH=E:\Development\django_projects\myproject\Scripts;C:\Panda3D-1.7.0\python;C:\Panda3D-1.7.0\bin;c:\python26\Scripts;
PYTHONPATH=C:\Panda3D-1.7.0\
So far, so good. I launch python...
>>> import django
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named django
Let's just try a module I'm sure is in my c:\python site-packages directory.
>>> import BeautifulSoup
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup
Yay! No global site packages! On to the next one then. From the command prompt, I type:
django-admin.py
And it works! But wait... I haven't installed Django yet. How is this possible?
After this, it gets even weirder... I first add these to virtualenv's activate.bat script so that Django can find my settings.
set PYTHONPATH=E:\Development\django_projects\myproject\
set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings.development
Now I launch django-admin.py shell and
In [1]: import BeautifulSoup
In [2]: BeautifulSoup.__file__
Out[2]: 'C:\\Python26\\lib\\site-packages\\BeautifulSoup.pyc'
How is this even possible?
Flash of insight
While typing this, I suddenly get it. .py is a file extension coupled with my c:\python26\python.exe executable, instead of the virtualenv one!
python manage.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 2, in <module>
from django.core.management import execute_manager
ImportError: No module named django.core.management
Heh. Anyone has any idea of how to couple the .py file extension to my virtualenv's python executable instead of the system defined python executable?
A little bit of extra .bat hackery can easily fix this. My standard additions to activate.bat are:
REM custom venv settings
set PYTHONPATH=%\VIRTUAL_ENV%;%\VIRTUAL_ENV%\conf;%\VIRTUAL_ENV%\apps
set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings
ftype Python.File=%VIRTUAL_ENV%\Scripts\python.exe %1 %*
and to deactivate.bat
REM restore ftype
ftype Python.File=C:\tools\Python27\python.exe %1 %*
You could make a .bat file and modify PATH and PYTHONPATH in there, and then run .py from that .bat file.
Something like this i think
set PATH=C:\Python26;
python myfile.py
Ofcourse, add anything else to your path that you want.
I had the same "Access denied" problems as Dan with m0nonoke's answer on my Windows 7 setup using cmd.exe.
But I found this work around using a replacement shell TCC/LE and a customised startup file...
Under working directory create subdirectory config. In this directory
create startup file for TCC/LE called tcstart.btm
#echo off
rem Override system python binding to handle virtualenvironments
set .py;.pyc=python.exe
Now create (copy) TCC/LE shortcut on desktop and rename it
appropriately. Open Properties for shortcut and add to Target
“C:\django\config\tcstart.btm”. You probably want to set Start in to
something useful, like C:\django
