i tried to install pyinstaller with pip install pyinstaller and got this: [duplicate]

I just installed Python 3.6.1 for MacOS X
When I attempt to run the Console(or run anything with Python3), this error is thrown:
AttributeError: module 'enum' has no attribute 'IntFlag'

class RegexFlag(enum.IntFlag):
AttributeError: module 'enum' has no attribute 'IntFlag'
The class IntFlag exists within enum.py. So, why is the AttributeError being thrown?

It's because your enum is not the standard library enum module. You probably have the package enum34 installed.
One way check if this is the case is to inspect the property enum.__file__
import enum
print(enum.__file__)
# standard library location should be something like
# /usr/local/lib/python3.6/enum.py
Since python 3.6 the enum34 library is no longer compatible with the standard library. The library is also unnecessary, so you can simply uninstall it.
pip uninstall -y enum34
If you need the code to run on python versions both <=3.4 and >3.4, you can try having enum-compat as a requirement. It only installs enum34 for older versions of python without the standard library enum.

Not sure whether you still have this issue. I had a similar issue and I was able to resolve it simply by unsetting PYTHONPATH
$ unset PYTHONPATH

For me this error occured after installing of gcloud component app-engine-python in order to integrate into pycharm. Uninstalling the module helped, even if pycharm is now not uploading to app-engine.

If anyone coming here because of getting this error while running a google app engine Python 3.7 standard environment project in PyCharm then all you need to do is
Make sure the configuration to run is for Flask, not Google App Engine configuration.
Then disable Google App Engine support under Preferences >> Languages & Framework >> Google App Engine
The reason being as per this link
The overall goal is that your app should be fully portable and run in any standard Python environment. You write a standard Python app, not an App Engine Python app. As part of this shift, you are no longer required to use proprietary App Engine APIs and services for your app's core functionality. At this time, App Engine APIs are not available in the Python 3.7 runtime.
I guess when we create a python 3.7 project in PyCharm as a Google app engine project it still tries to do the same way it does for a python2.7 app

I got this issue while installing transformers library from HuggingFace. It was due to the fact package enum34 was installed in my environment which was overriding built-in enum in Python. This package was probably installed by something as for forward compatibility which is no longer needed with Python 3.6+. So the solution is simply,
pip uninstall -y enum34

DISCLAIMER: Please, #juanpa.arrivillaga, if you see this answer, feel free to write your own and I will remove this post.
#juanpa.arrivillaga had mentioned above:
Is there a file name enum.py in your working directory, by any chance?
This was the issue I encountered. I was not aware of the enum module on python at the time and had named my test file enum.py.
Since the file name is the module name, there was a conflict. More info on modules here: https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/modules.html

Installing version 1.1.8 of enum34 worked for me.
I was able to fix this by adding enum34 = "==1.1.8" to pyproject.toml.
Apparently enum34 had a feature in v1.1.8 that avoided this error, but
this regressed in v1.1.9+. This is just a workaround though. The
better solution would be for packages to use environment markers so
you don't have to install enum34 at all unless needed.

Disabling "Google App Engine Support" in pycharm preferences fixed this issue for me.

Håken Lid's answer helped solved my problem (thanks!) , in my case present in Python3.7 running Flask in a Docker container (FROM tiangolo/uwsgi-nginx-flask:python3.7-alpine3.7).
In my case, enum34 was being installed by another library (pip install smartsheet-python-sdk).
For those coming with a similar Docker container problem, here is my final Dockerfile (stripped to the relevant lines):
FROM tiangolo/uwsgi-nginx-flask:python3.7-alpine3.7
...
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
RUN pip uninstall -y enum34
...

In case you have to keep PYTHONPATH for both python2 and python3, you can write alias statements to set the proper PYTHONPATH in your bash_profile:
Hardcode your PYTHONPATH2, and PYTHONPATH3 variables in your ~/.bash_profile, and add the following aliases at the end of it:
alias python='export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH2};python'
alias python3='export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH3};python3'
My python (refers to python2) as I use python2 more often.

I have Python 2 and Python 3 installed on my computer. For some strange reason I have in the sys.path of Python 3 also a path to the sitepackage library directory of Python2 when the re module is called. If I run Python 3 and import enum and print(enum.__file__) the system does not show this Python 2 path to site-packages. So a very rough and dirty hack is, to directly modify the module in which enum is imported (follow the traceback paths) and insert the following code just before importing enum:
import sys
for i, p in enumerate(sys.path):
if "python27" in p.lower() or "python2.7" in p.lower(): sys.path.pop(i)
import enum
That solved my problem.

When ever I got this problem:
AttributeError: module 'enum' has no attribute 'IntFlag'
simply first i run the command:
unset PYTHONPATH
and then run my desired command then got success in that.

I did by using pip install <required-library> --ignore-installed enum34
Once your required library is installed, look for warnings during the build.
I got an Error like this:
Using legacy setup.py install for future, since package 'wheel' is not installed
ERROR: pyejabberd 0.2.11 has requirement enum34==1.1.2, but you'll have enum34 1.1.10 which is incompatible.
To fix this issue now run the command: pip freeze | grep enum34. This will give you the version of the installed enum34. Now uninstall it by pip uninstall enum34 and reinstall the required version as pip install "enum34==1.1.20"

If you having this issue when running tests in PyCharm, make sure the second box is unchecked in the configurations.

I had this problem in ubuntu20.04 in jupyterlab in my virtual env kernel with python3.8 and tensorflow 2.2.0. Error message was

problem was that in symbolic link in /usr/bin/python was pointing to python2. Solution:
cd /usr/bin/
sudo ln -sf python3 python
Hopefully Python 2 usage will drop off completely soon.

Even I had this issue while running python -m grpc_tools.protoc --version
Had to set the PYTHONPATH till site-packages and shutdown all the command prompt windows and it worked. Hope it helps for gRPC users.

Unfortunately none of the suggestions helped me, but after some more googling this
pip install aenum
solved it for me

I faced the same issue, but I couldn't change the environment the script is run inside. So the fixes here were not applicable for me.
What I did instead was
import os
import sys
os.environ["PYTHONPATH"] = os.pathsep.join(
(p for p in os.environ["PYTHONPATH"].split(os.pathsep) if "python2" not in p)
)
sys.path = [p for p in sys.path if "python2" not in p]
# Now that the paths are clean, we can import re
import re

2022 UPDATE
If you are using a modern version of Python (in my case 3.9.x), you don't need "enum34" at all, as this library is described as "Python 3.4 Enum backported to 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 2.7, 2.6, 2.5, and 2.4"
So in my case, the solution was to get rid of it entirely:
pip uninstall enum34
Now Pycharm runs my app perfectly.

My problem was that I marked a directory of mine as a Test Sources Root in pycharm which caused the python ast package to look for enum within <my_test_src_root_dir>/__init__.py (which was empty). I found this by clicking on the line that threw and then controlling (mac CMD-B) into the enum package and seeing that it went to the __init__.py file of the marked directory.
The file that threw:
"/opt/homebrew/Cellar/python#3.10/3.10.2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/ast.py"
The line that threw:
from enum import IntEnum, auto
The error:
ImportError: cannot import name 'IntEnum' from 'enum' (.../path/to/_init_.py)

If anyone is having this problem when trying to run Jupyter kernel from a virtualenv, just add correct PYTHONPATH to kernel.json of your virtualenv kernel (Python 3 in example):
{
"argv": [
"/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.6.5/bin/python3.6",
"-m",
"ipykernel_launcher",
"-f",
"{connection_file}"
],
"display_name": "Python 3 (TensorFlow)",
"language": "python",
"env": {
"PYTHONPATH": "/Users/dimitrijer/git/mlai/.venv/lib/python3.6:/Users/dimitrijer/git/mlai/.venv/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload:/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.6.5/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6:/Users/dimitrijer/git/mlai/.venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages"
}
}

ensure there is no file or folder named enum in your codebase

ipython3 does not work in the terminal with python3.7

I recently upgraded from Python3.6 to Python3.7. Since I have upgraded, when I type in ipython3 in the terminal I get an error:

async is a reserved keyword in python3.7 and an old version of pexpect is using async as variable. The solution is to upgrade pexpect.
For me, it was conflicting with apt-get installed python3, so I had to first uninstall it/them:
sudo apt-get remove python-pexpect python3-pexpect
And then
sudo pip3.7 install --upgrade pexpect

UPDATE Please update your installed packages.
This error for pexpect has been reported and closed already issue
In Python 3.7, async and await are now reserved keywords. This is what is breaking some of your installed packages.
If you do not need the new features in 3.7, roll back to 3.6 and wait until your packages are updated to support the new syntax in 3.7
What's New in Python 3.7

I just solve this problem by upgrading pexpect manually.
Download pexpect4.6 source code from https://github.com/pexpect/pexpect/releases/tag/4.6
Extract the source code, get into the folder and install the pexpect by:
sudo python3.7 setup.py install

As others have noted, having the current version of the pexpect package should solve this. In my case, the python3-pexpect package that I had installed through apt was stuck on an old version and I first had to remove it. Then installing the current pexpect package through pip3 fixed the problem.

This appears to be an issue related to async being keyword in Python 3.7
As given here, updating pipenv might be the solution

async is a reserved word in Python 3.7
You can edit the packages yourself if you feel comfortable doing it.
Here is a shell command that does just that:
sed "s/async/_async/g" "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pexpect/spawnbase.py" > tmp.txt && cat tmp.txt > "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pexpect/spawnbase.py" && rm tmp.txt
Otherwise, you might want to use Python 3.6 while waiting for an update.

Error with TensorFlow MNIST [duplicate]

Since updating from Homebrew Python 2.7.11 (from 2.7.10) I'm suddenly unable to test register my package on PyPi from the PyCharm IDE console.
Running (as an "External Tool")

I'm not sure how to proceed. I only get this issue if I execute from within my IDE's console. If I do it directly at the system command line (Terminal on OS X) I have no problems.
OS X 10.11.3; Homebrew Python 2.7.11; PyCharm 5.0.3

tl;dr: Fix this issue by doing one of the following:
type hash -r python, OR
log out and log in.
EDIT: An answer to my related question makes it clear what's happening here. When you install a new version of python, you may need to run hash -r python to tell bash to reset the "cached" location to the python executable.
In my case, I was typing python, which was on my $PATH at /usr/local/bin/python. But bash was still using the old cache location /usr/bin/python. So, the old executable was called, but the new path was provided to python in sys.argv[0]. This means that the old executable was running, but the new sys.executable value caused all the wrong modules to get loaded (including the io module).
I'm having the same problem. I installed python 2.7.11 via an installer from Python.org. Strangely, the issue seems to be related to some subtle difference between how OSX launches python when I invoke it from the shell using the full path vs. using just the word python.
So, for me, this works (invoking python via the full path /usr/local/bin/python):
$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
$ /usr/local/bin/python -c "import io"
$
... but this doesn't:
$ python -c "import io"

So, as a workaround, you can try doing the same thing.
Elsewhere, I've posted a separate question about this puzzling behavior. Maybe somehow merely calling python invokes some strange mix of the 2.7.11 executable with the 2.7.10 dylibs??

According to https://github.com/klen/python-mode/issues/634:
I had the same issue, but successfully fixed. In my case I compiled
python and vim with homebrew, when PYTHON_PATH has been specified and
set to one of my dev environments, where I also had some libraries,
including io. Workaround was simple: open new terminal, make sure that
you do not have custom PYTHON_PATH, uninstall python, uninstall vim.
Reinstall both of them.
and
Problem solved.
Culprit is the update from python 2.7.10 to 2.7.11.
If you are using conda package control, simply run "conda install
python=2.7.10" will solve this problem.
This doesn't give the root cause though. Since this happens with _io, this looks like a bug in python 2.7.11 (unlikely, there would be a world-scale outcry and a prompt fix if it was) or some packaging bug or version mismatch specifically with the homebrew version (and maybe some related ones, too).
Try to import _io in the console and if it succeeds, check if it was loaded from the same path.

Reinstall python.
brew unlink python && brew reinstall python
Secure the path
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/bin/
BACKUP and Change the order of "paths" file.
sudo nano /etc/paths
it seems, the order of paths, it is decisive to run python properly. In my case, the result was:
#sudo nano /etc/paths
/usr/bin
/usr/local/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
On my mac, path is like this.
$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
Now I can run both:
$ /usr/local/bin/python -c "import io"
$ python -c "import io"

I had the same issue, it is successfully fixed by just replacing the _io.so file.
sudo find / -name _io.so
copy the path of the _io.so file which DOES NOT belong to python-2.7.11. For example, copy the path of _io.so which is under python-2.7.5:
/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.5/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_io.so
Replace the /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_io.so file with the _io.so that you just found.

This happened to me as well in MacVim. I solved it by making sure :python print(sys.path) is using system Python (e.g. /Library/Python/2.7/...)
Since I installed MacVim via Homebrew, I just did that by:
Spawn a new shell that had which python -> /usr/bin/python. For my case I needed to remove the pyenv line from my .bash_profile. If you installed Python via Homebrew you may want to brew unlink python first
brew reinstall macvim

If your problem is caused by anaconda, it is unnecessary to remove //anaconda directory.
Just open your ~/.bash_profile, find the line
export PATH="//anaconda/bin:$PATH
and comment it out, then restart your terminal session.

Another quick workaround if you don't mind sticking with Python 2.7.10 is to specify the path of the Python interpreter executable that will be used for the virtualenv. On OSX that path is usually /usr/bin/python:
virtualenv venv --python=/usr/bin/python

Can't add comment (?) so this just to share my exp., downgrade to 2.7.10 works fr me.

I got this error after a failed NLTK download, I needed to uninstall anaconda:
sudo rm -rf ~/anaconda
update PATH variable

This happened when I already had tried to create a venv in a folder, and mistakenly was trying to initialize a second one! So I just removed venv directory and re-ran the command. Very likely this is not the answer to this solution, but searching my error brought me here, so it may help some others who are stuck.

I solved this issue by removing the symbolic link that was in /usr/local/bin and copying the actual python binary, that was pointed to by said link, there.

I had the same issue when I tried to use PyCharm. Solved by setting "python interpreter" in project configuration to point to the python virtual env I wanted to use, which was an Anaconda env. Somehow the interpreter path was missing the "anaconda" portion of ~/.../anaconda/.../_io.so. No need to uninstall anaconda.

Unable to import git in python

I am facing these issues. Can you help me with the same ?
Why am I seeing this error ? Do I have to add anything in the requirements.txt file ?

I already had gitdb and smmap installed so I had to reinstall them.
You can reinstall them by running the following command in your terminal:
pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall gitdb; pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall smmap

I also got the message ImportError: 'gitdb' could not be found in your PYTHONPATH (when trying to use GitPython).BUT I had gitdb already installed!
Thanks to this hint I figured out that gitdb silently failed because it was missing smmap.
So I installed this and it worked.

You need to install gitdb package.
$ sudo easy_install gitdb

I had the same problem. However, gitdb and smmap were already installed by pip. As I used brew to install python and its dependencies on my mac, when I checked brew doctor command, it said that my /usr/local/sbin directory is not in my PATH. So I added it to my PATH (though it didn't have anything to do with the python) and everything worked out eventually.

MS Windows Versions of this problem can occur because of the order of Python versions in your system PATH, as it did for me. I did not realize that when I installed another program, it installed a newer version of Python for its own usage, and it appended my system PATH with the address to the newer version. I noticed it when I looked at the PATH variable and found two versions of Python being called. Windows uses the first it finds, and if the first doesn't match what your program expects, it gets confused and can't find the right path to the module. This is what I did to resolve it:
To check: an easy way to test if this is your problem is to see if the paths separated by semicolons are in the right order. That can be seen in the System Variables of Windows or by printing your PATH variable in your CMD shell like in this example:
C:> path
PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Python37-32\Scripts;C:\Program Files (x86)\Python37-32;C:\Program Files\Python38\Scripts;C:\WINDOWS
Temporary solution:
To see if it is going to fix your computer, change it in your CMD window. Your variable change will be discarded when the window is closed. One way to do this test is to copy the paths, move the Python references to the order they are needed, and write it back:
C:> set path = C:\WINDOWS;C:\Program Files (x86)\Python37-32;C:\Program Files\Python38\Scripts;C:\Program Files (x86)\Python37-32\Scripts\
Then run the Python program to see if this was your problem. Note that this is only an example; do not copy & paste it. Your path is customized for the programs on your computer.
Permanent solution: If the above test resolves your problem, you must change your System Variables to make the change permanent. For me that usually requires a reboot afterwards in order to make the variables appear in all new windows.

PyCharm & Pyenv local?

After I broke my Ubuntu precise with a Cython compilation I like to keep the system Python clean. I like to have 2.7.x & 3.4.x besides each other and used Pyenv to have a global default interpreter independent from the system python. Now I also want to define local interpreters on a per project basis, usually done with pyenv local. Unfortunately my favorite IDE PyCharm does only support pyenv global, the local .python-version files are obviously not recognized by PyCharm.
So I tried to use the pyenv global interpreter in PyCharm with ~/.pyenv/bin/python-local-exec which works but unfortunately is already deprecated. When I then tried to create a virtualenv from the pyenv Python 3 global interpreter, it throwed the follwing error:
The following command was executed:
virtualenv.py /home/barrios/code/so/venv
The error output of the command:
pyenv: `python-local-exec' is deprecated and will be removed in the next release.

ERROR: It thinks sys.prefix is '/home/barrios/.pyenv/bin' (should be '/home/barrios/code/so/venv')

As mentioned before, I don't want to install Python 3 into my Ubuntu system folders. Any ideas how to achieve that?
TNX a lot!

I'd suggest to use https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv-virtualenv to create virtualenv for a desired interpreter and then add it as a Python interpreter in PyCharm.
