Scrpay - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'http.client' [duplicate]

I am working with my Raspberry Pi 2 B+ and I am using Raspbian. I have a python script located at /home/pi/Desktop/control/gpio.py
When I type /home/pi/Desktop/control/gpio.py into the command line, I get the message
bash: /home/pi/Desktop/control/gpio.py Permission denied
I have tried running sudo -s before running that command also but that doesnt work. My python script is using the Rpi.GPIO library.
If someone could please explain why I am getting this error it would be appreciated!

You will get this error because you do not have the execute permission on your file. There are two ways to solve it:
Not executing the file in the first place. By running python gpio.py python will load the file by reading it, so you don't need to have execute permission.
Granting yourself execute permission. You do this by running chmod u+x yourfile.py.
However, doing so will not work unless you add a shebang at the top of your python program. It will let your linux know which interpreter it should start. For instance:
#!/usr/bin/env python
This would try to run python using your current $PATH settings. If you know which python you want, put it here instead.
#!/usr/bin/python3
Remember the shebang must be the very first line of your program.

do like this maybe work:
cd /home/pi/Desktop/control/
python gpio.py
Because gpio.py is not a executable file, you should run it by python instead

Run python script in Atom

Is it possible to run a python script with atom, in another window? It may use any package, at long as it works with python 3 and tkinter. I tried the script package, but I couldn't find the option. Is there somebody of you who got it working?

I don't think ATOM is an IDE. It is just an Editor.
It cannot create a Development environment. Your best option is use the built-in "Terminal".
Even if there exist some package, all it could do is execute a command line, which is similar to manually running the file on the command line.
Running Python on Eclipse can give you a feel, that you execute by clicking the "Run", but it masks the command line actually.
Only 'notebook' can do the wonders of python kernel.

how to execute python script on atom on windows

I am using Atom on Windows 10. While setting up Atom on my computer, I created a folder called "beyond basics". Then I created a python file. I installed platform io on Atom. i got a "+" icon on screen. upon clicking that i got a command line. I am trying to execute on that by writing python filename but I am getting an error. Any help is appreciated.
python3 myfile.py

Try typing myfile.py without the python prefix. It may work, as it works for me on Windows 10. Your bubble is covering up an error message that could help use debug. Can you add an edit and tell us the error message? Until then, just try the command without the python prefix.
You should also save before running, as was commented by Denis Fetinin.
If it still doesn't work, try addding python to the env variables. It's a simple process that you can follow here.

Asking for overwrite while trying to run script in ipython

I am fairly new to programming in python. I installed anaconda and am running iPython (the Jupyter qtconsole) v.4.3.0 and python v.3.6 on a Mac. Currently, I am trying to import a module with functions located in my home directory.
I have looked at stackoverflow and python documentation and found that it could be done with:
%run "Users/myUser/python_functions.py"
or
import python_functions
However, when I try both of these approaches, I get prompted to overwrite the file that I am running or importing:
File `python_functions.py` exists. Overwrite (y/[N])?
This is changing the previous file and not getting the functions I want to be imported.
What may explain this, and what can I do to import my module?

this is wrong but leaving it up for shame
import on ubuntu (and I'm guessing many other unix-like OSs including Mac) is a utility that saves any visible window on an X server and outputs it as an image file. You can capture a single window, the entire screen, or any rectangular portion of the screen.
My guess if you are running the import command in your console, and it's about to take a screenshot and save it over an existing file - python_functions
Before you the use the python import command, start a python interpreter:
$ python
>>>import yourfile
edit: on re-reading your question, I'm not so sure about my guess anymore, but leaving it up until you tell me I'm wrong :)

Running Jupyter qtconsole as an interpreter is likely causing the problem in this scenario. Instead using a IDE or command line interpreter will resolve it .
Since anaconda was installed, trying it with the IDE Spyder executes the code just fine without the overwrite prompt. It works on others (e.g PyCharm, Rodeo, etc.) as well.

Problems installing IDLE2HTML

I'm trying to install IDLE2HTML from the following link in order to print from IDLE in color. I use Python 2.7 on a Mac.
I follow the instructions from the readme.txt, but when I reload IDLE nothing has changed. I don't have the Save As HTML option.
In the past I've installed and reinstalled Python a few times.
When trying to find my idlelib folder (as written in the readme instructions), I eventually found it under the path /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/
Is my problem that my python is in /System/Library/?
Any ideas please?

I have not tried this extension, but the following may help. When you start Idle, select File / Path browser on the menu. You should see
_ sys.path
|
+ some_path/pythonxy/Lib/idlelib
|
+ some_path/python27.zip # or MAC equivalent
The first path tells you where the new files should be. If you click the +, you will see what file are there. What about IDLE2HTML.py? The next issue is whether you properly edited config-extensions.def. If you wait a few days for 2.7.9 and install it, you can try the new Options / Config-extensions dialog on the menu. That will show whether Idle can read the new information in the .def file. Or you can edit your question, paste in the new material you added, and comment on this answer, and I will take a look. However, given that the extension has been around for years, I presume that the addition in config-extensions.txt is correct.
I suspect that whenever you upgrade Python, config-extension.def will be overwritten and you will have to re-edit it.

If the problem is not a configuration problem with the IDLE2HTML Python IDLE extension like this answer (for the same question) explains about, it may be a problem with the code itself (this has happened with Python 3 IDLE). This can be checked by running IDLE using the Python file that starts it (<PYTHON LIBRARY DIR>\idlelib\idle.py where <PYTHON LIBRARY DIR> is the location of the standard library for the Python installation), in a command line interpreter (use <PYTHON EXECUTABLE DIR>\python.exe where <PYTHON EXECUTABLE DIR is the location of the executable files that start Python). It will launch IDLE and show any errors in the C.L.I..
Quote from Python idlelib module docstring:
Idle includes an interactive shell and editor. Use the files named idle.* to start Idle.
IDLE2HTML real error example:
A common problem is that IDLE2HTML version 2.0 (latest at time of writing) needs a simple code tweak to work with Python 3.x (a fixed version that works as part of the IDLEX Python module had this tweak). File comparison image (left is original file, right is IDLEX version in image); if the Python version is Python 3.x, import Tkinter needs to be changed to import tkinter as Tkinter and import tkFileDialog needs to be changed to import tkinter.filedialog as tkFileDialog:

Edwards suggestion of using the CLI for diagnosis was very useful. It exposed that the cgi.escape attribute does not exist for Python 3.
I changed the IDLE2HTML.py line 74 from "out.append(cgi.escape(content))" to
"out.append(content)" and after a re-boot it all worked!
Later: well almost... better to replace "import cgi" with "import html and then cgi.escape() with html.escape()
If using Win10 you will need super-admin rights to change IDLE2HTML.
