OS X - how to coerce python3 to use tkinter 8.6 - macos

python3 (3.6, installed today) reports that it is using Tcl/Tk version 8.5. I want to use 8.6.
This is a Macbook Pro Retina running OS X 10.12. "which python" shows:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3
There are 2 different high level folders including Tcl (and parallel ones for Tk):
/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework
Under ./Versions
8.6 [installed today] and Current (links to 8.6)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework
Under ./Versions:
8.4, 8.5, and Current (links to 8.5)
There is also miscellaneous stuff under:
/Library/Tcl/teapot/package/macosx105.-i386-86-64
/System/Library/Tcl/8.4
/System/Library/Tcl/8.5
How do I (1) get python3 to use Tk 8.6; and (2) clean up this confusing assortment?

I found that the latest python3 was actually installed under /usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.6.0, and tcl-tk under /usr/local/Cellar/tcl-tk/8.6.6. There is a link from /usr/local/opt/python3 to /usr/local/Cellar/python3, and a corresponding one for tcl-tk. So a workaround is to just add /usr/local/opt/python3 to PATH.

pyinstaller gives weird errors when compiling pandas

UPDATE june 18:
I would like compiling my python code for windows.
I use to work with pyinstaller, python 3.5+, windows 7 and anaconda to control modules pandas, pyqt (v5) and pyqtgraph, but it seems something is not compatible. I would not be surprised if you tell me to change a version.
In previous versions, it worked with python 3.5, windows 7 and Pyinstaller 3.3.1- without pandas; the new version imports pandas and then this doesn’t work anymore:
with the usual config pyinstaller gives a message saying the C libraries are not built. Following the instructions, I should run python setup.py build_ext --inplace --force, except I don’t see the setup.py file, so I don’t know what to do. Forums tell me it should be a problem with pip but not with conda… but I use conda…
with python 3.6, I got an error message ‘RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded’ (https://github.com/steph2016/profiles/blob/master/errorMessage). This problem seems known and solutions I found on forums is either to downgrade python or to replace my PyInstaller-3.3.1 by PyInstaller-3.4.dev0+7b3143612. But with PyInstaller-3.4.dev0+7b3143612 I get a ’’str’ object has no attribute ‘items’’ error (https://github.com/steph2016/profiles/blob/master/ErrorMessage2). I’m not sure pyinstaller is compatible with python 3.6…
with python 3.4, I got an error similar to the ‘str object’ one above. I’m not sure python3.4 is compatible with qt5…
I would be pleased by any solution with any version of whatever to windows-compile my code
I don't know if it is the issue but I didn't find PyQtGraph in Supported-Packages
I eventually applied the first solution proposed in No module named 'pandas._libs.tslibs.timedeltas' in PyInstaller in the original config (python 3.5, PyInstaller 3.3.1, pyqtgraph, pandas, windows 7,...) and it worked.
I don't know why adding def get_pandas_path ..... a.binaries) helps, so I can't justify. But just to be explicit even if it seems obvious: pyinstaller must be run on the spec file, not on the py one (for instance > pyinstaller toto.spec)

go-plus atom package doesn't run goimports

I'm not quite sure how to about getting this to work or figuring out the issue
format box is check to run formattool on save and the formattool is set to goimports
goimports work in my command line, so I suspect this is an issues with the package

kmpfit module not in Kapteyn v2.2 module list

I am using Python 2.7 through Anaconda 2.7.8 and need Kapteyn 2.2 to perform Non-linear Least Squares fitting easily (it is probably an alternative to Scipy.optimize.leastsq() for dummies like me!).
After copy-pasting this from a previous post here on Stack Overflow:
conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/dhirschfeld pyodbc
and then running on my cmd (as I did not have pyodbc installed I think, because of which maybe the command prompt on my Windows 7 64-bit system was not responding well to python setup.py install inside the Anaconda directory where I unzipped the Kapteyn .zip file downloaded from University of Groningen website.
But, after the installing pyodbc properly and running python setup.py install, the cmd gave me an error saying error: command 'C:\Users\windows 7\Anaconda\Scripts\gcc.bat' failed with exit status 1. Later, when I tried to import kmpfit module (needed for Non-linear least square fitting with Kapteyn), here is the problem:
import kapteyn
help(kapteyn)
Help on package kapteyn:

As you can see, there is no module named kmpfit (or even wcs) here. But according to http://www.astro.rug.nl/software/kapteyn/intro.html, these two should be there.
Kindly help. I have never imported any module before.
Thanks in advance...:-)
I just managed to get this working (on Mac OSX, so you may have to adjust this). My steps were:
$ conda install pyodbc (didn't need to go through binstar)
Download & unarchive the kapteyn package, then navigate to its directory
$ python setup.py install, which used my OS's C compiler and Anaconda's python, and installed kapteyn to my anaconda distro's site-packages, as it should.
Check that kmpfit.so is in the kapteyn folder in site-packages, showing that kmpfit installed correctly.
>> from kapteyn import kmpfit failed, ImportError: cannot import name kmpfit. I did some digging and discovered that it was still importing kapteyn from the folder that I downloaded, not from site-packages.
Delete the downloaded kapteyn folder, then try again. It worked!

Webkit not found on OSX

I'm trying to compile mu that uses the headers webkit/webkitwebview.h and webkit/webkitwebresource.h. The OSX version of webkit framework located in /System/Library/Frameworks doesn't seem to have it, the headers are different and use NS data types and stuff.
So I downloaded webkit-gtk with MacPorts (since it's not available through Homebrew) and pointed $PKG_CONFIG_PATH to webkit-1.0.pc. I verified and this version has the needed headers.
But the problem is, I still get an error, the configure file doesn't seem to be able to find it.
checking for WEBKIT... no
I don't even know, actually, if webkit-1.0.pc is the package config it is looking for.
I had two other compilation problems prior to this, with glib.h and gtk.h but managed to go through. This is the last issue I need to resolve to have a fully functional email client in Emacs.
Help!
this worked for me [1]:
add this to ~/.profile (or wherever you take care of this stuff):
# ~/.profile stuff
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
then source:
$ source ~/.profile
then (assuming you're in the mu dir) voila [2]:
$ ./configure
[1] i have gtk installed via homebrew, installed webkit-gtk3 via macports, and cloned mu from the github repo. running os x 10.9.5

Error in Installing the Cairo R Package

I am attempting to install the Cairo package in the development version of R on Mac OS X 10.7.4, but I'm running into an issue that I cannot resolve.
I have installed Cairo with homebrew (i.e., brew install cairo) and received the following message:
==> Caveats This formula is keg-only, so it was not symlinked into /usr/local.
Mac OS X already provides this program and installing another version
in parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.
The Cairo provided by Leopard is too old for newer software to link
against.
Generally there are no consequences of this for you. If you build your
own software and it requires this formula, you'll need to add its lib
& include paths to your build variables:
LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.12.2/lib
CPPFLAGS -I/usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.12.2/include
With the above message in mind, I attempted to install the Cairo package from R-Forge with the following R command:
install.packages("Cairo", repos="http://www.rforge.net/", configure.args = c("CAIRO_LIBS=/usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.12.2/lib", "CAIRO_CFLAGS=/usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.12.2/include/cairo"))
I receive the following error:
checking cairo.h usability... no
checking cairo.h presence... no
checking for cairo.h... no
configure: error: Cannot find cairo.h!
Please install cairo (http://www.cairographics.org/) and/or set
CAIRO_CFLAGS/LIBS correspondingly. ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘Cairo’
I repeated the same command without the repos argument (by default, I use the FHCRC mirror) with the same result.
At this point, the problem seems obvious: the file cairo.h is not present. But then I listed the files in the include/cairo directory. Here's the response:
ls /usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.12.2/include/cairo
cairo-deprecated.h cairo-ft.h
cairo-ps.h
cairo-script-interpreter.h
cairo-svg.h
cairo-xcb.h
cairo-xlib.h
cairo-features.h
cairo-pdf.h
cairo-quartz.h
cairo-script.h
cairo-version.h
cairo-xlib-xrender.h
cairo.h
So, I'm pointing the installation of the Cairo package to the appropriate place, but the error persists. I have tried variations, such as CAIRO_CFLAGS=/usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.12.2/include, with no luck.
Thoughts? Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
In case it's necessary, here is my sessionInfo:

I had similar issue with cairo config error, and I already installed cairo with homebrew. Try below
brew install pkg-config
This solved mine problem.
A coworker and I just fixed the problem by ignoring all of what I typed above. Rather, we installed Cairo and all of its dependencies from source manually, thereby bypassing the usage of brew or variants like port. This worked like a charm, so I am not entirely sure what was wrong above.
After trying everything listed here, I found this blog post about installing the "full R package" using brew: https://luispuerto.net/blog/2018/05/11/installing-r-with-homebrew-with-all-the-capabilities/
What finally worked for me was building R explicitly with cairo (brew's default R tap uses --without-cairo and simply editing the tap did not solve the issue for me).
Works like a charm for me with R 4.0.2, cairo 1.16.0_3 under macOS Catalina 10.15.6.
