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 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
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)
1st, the Disclaimer: I looked at numerous questions here, there is question about uninstalling all pip–installed, uninstalling matplotlib, moving to 3.5 from 2.7, –– but I didn't find an answer to my specific problem. Sorry if I didn't look hard enough.
Basically, my problem is I have a mess of different packages installed by different means at different times. Manifestations of this are:
1) I can import numpy from python but not from Jupyter notebook:
------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-5a0bd626bb1d> in <module>()
----> 1 import numpy
ImportError: No module named numpy
2) I cannot import nltk:
...
File "numpy.pxd", line 155, in init sklearn.utils.murmurhash (sklearn/utils/murmurhash.c:5029)
ValueError: numpy.dtype has the wrong size, try recompiling
likely many more.
I recently uninstalled jupyter and anaconda, installed anaconda again, - this didn't help.
I cannot uninstall numpy / scipy , although I can use them (?!?):
>:~%python -c 'from numpy.random import rand; print rand()'
0.946167984715
>:~%pip uninstall numpy
Cannot uninstall requirement numpy, not installed
I have two versions of Python:
2.7.11 under /usr/local/bin/ pointing to /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/bin/python
2.7.10 under /usr/bin/ pointing to
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions
-- although the default is 2.7.10 (numpy works with it), and I think 2.7.11 was added by Anaconda (incorrectly, because it doesn't see numpy).
Yesterday I uninstalled everything I could think of, then upgraded to a new version of Mac OS (10.12.2 Sierra), and then re-installed anaconda – in vain.
I am close to reformatting the disk and starting from scratch.
Is there a better option?
Thank you! and sorry for so many details.
Not sure exactly on a MAC but these are the things to try on windows and it is probably similar on MAC.
Start with a clean install of anaconda then try "where python" and "where jupyter" (it is "which" instead of "where" on linux). This tells you where it is looking for the executables. Both should be subfolders of anaconda. If they are not check your PATH variable.
Now start python or jupyter; import sys and try sys.path. That tells you where python is looking for stuff. It should look only in anaconda sub folders.
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 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!
