So I followed this guide and managed to install Gcovr using pip (I already have Python installed along with Anaconda). I tried to use gcovr but this is what I got:
When I use pip list, Gcovr is already installed.
How do I use it?
I'm running Windows 7 64bit with Python 3.5.2 :: Anaconda 4.2.0 64bit
P.S:
I'm sorry if this has already been asked before but after searching around for days I've yet to found any solution to my problem.
Using gcovr 3.x is a bit more cumbersome on Windows because Windows doesn't seem to recognize the gcovr script as an executable. Instead: find out where gcovr was installed to (e.g. by running pip in --verbose mode), then explicitly invoke Python:
> python C:\path\to\gcovr
The path is probably something like C:\Python35\Scripts.
You can also write a batch file to wrap gcovr like this.
Please also consider updating (pip install -U gcovr), as gcovr 3.4 fixes some other bugs on Windows.
This installation issue will be fixed in the next release. If you want to, you can already install the development version directly from GitHub:
> pip install git+https://github.com/gcovr/gcovr.git

I have two versions of python3 installed on my computer. They are located here:
/usr/local/bin/python3
/usr/bin/python3
I have set my PATH variable to use the first version. Running "which python3" routes to this version: /usr/local/bin/python3 -- this is what I want.
Unfortunately, pip3, and yet another version of Python, are installed in a different location (I think the version that comes pre-installed with mac). When I run "pip3 --version" I get the below:
pip 20.1.1 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)
Shouldn't these match? Is there a way to make sure python3 uses the pip3 version via /usr/local/bin/pip3? Do I just need to change / add it to my path somehow?
Another option is to uninstall everything with homebrew (what I used to originally install python3), and then reinstall. However, apparently, per my co-worker, we need to stay on python3.7. I'm worried if I reinstall python3, it will default to 3.8 or higher.
Please help!
There are a few things that I have found increase the chances of success here:
don't mess with the Mac-installed default Python
don't use homebrew to install Python
use pyenv to install and manage Python versions
Here's a useful write-up on The right and wrong way to set Python 3 as default on a Mac.
I want to install jupyter on Win 10. I have been using python on linux, but this is my first time on Win 10.
when I execute python -m pip install jupyter on administrator, I got errors like this:
The package setup script has attempted to modify files on your system
that are not within the EasyInstall build area, and has been aborted.
This package cannot be safely installed by EasyInstall, and may not
support alternate installation locations even if you run its setup
script by hand. Please inform the package's author and the EasyInstall
maintainers to find out if a fix or workaround is available.
any idea?
I have been able to get around this error by installing Anaconda, uninstalling Python 3.8.0 and installing Python 3.7.5 instead.
The Jupyter installation then ran successfully when I executed pip install jupyter with Git Bash in my C:\ drive using pip 19.2.3 (the default with Python 3.7.5).
For those who encounter this and need to use Python 3.8+, make sure to update you setuptools to version 42.0.0 (or later).
Install a version earlier than python 3.8 and the installation will work. Use CMD.
I had the same problem, I am using 64-bit windows 10 but downloaded the 32-bit python installer because it is the default that appears on the 'downloads' page on the python.org site. Uninstalled python 3.8.1, downloaded the 64-bit installer instead, and then ran 'pip install jupyterlab' using the pip version 19.2.3 that got installed with the 64-bit python instead of upgrading to pip version 19.3.1. So if you are running a 64-bit version of windows, make sure you download the 64-bit python installer!
This is probably a really dumb question but I am stuck and wasting too much time on this so I would SO appreciate any help.
I am using a RHEL 7 box and installed Apache Zeppelin on it. Everything works except for the life of me I can't import Python packages such as Pandas.
I realized I didn't have PIP so I installed it with these steps: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ (notice I had to use the "--user" argument for the command "python get-pip.py").
Finally, I did "pip install pandas --user" which worked perfectly. I then go into my Zeppelin notebook and I cannot import pandas, even after restarting the Python interpreter.
I did some research and I think the problem is that "which python" and "which pip" are installed in different directories as the former results in "/usr/bin/python" while the latter in "~/.local/bin/pip".
So I suspect the packages installed with pip are basically getting loaded into a different version of python? If it helps, when I do "whereis python" I get 5 different results such as "/usr/bin/python" and "/usr/bin/python2.7" etc.
First thing to understand is: Python packages aren't installed globally, every installed Python has its own set of packages. BTW, pip being a Python package with a script is also not global. If you have a few different pythons you need different pips for them. I don't know Apache Zeppelin so I cannot guess if it uses the system Python (/usr/bin/python) or has its own Python; in the latter case you need to install pip specifically for Zeppelin so its pip install packages available for Zeppelin.
To investigate to what Python pip installs packages you need to find out under what python it runs. Start with shebang:
head -1 `which pip`
The command will prints something like ~/.local/bin/python. If it's not the version of Python you need to install packages for you need to install a different pip using that Python.
The most complex case would be if the shebang is PATH-dependent, something like #!/usr/bin/env python. In that case pip runs Python that you can find with which python.
PS. AFAIK the simplest way to install pip at RedHat is dnf install python-pip.
phd's answer was very helpful but I found that it was just a matter of using the root account to install the python packages. Then my Zeppelin was able to see any packages.
I've been trying to install astropy and at the end of the installation I get this message:
Cannot uninstall 'numpy'. It is a distutils installed project and thus
we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would
lead to only a partial uninstall.
I have tried: pip uninstall numpy and then I get the same message.
I have Python 2.7.10 in a macOS High Sierra version 13.10.5
This doesn't directly answer your question, but that's because you're asking the wrong question.
Astropy requires Python 3.5 or 3.6. Trying to get it working with Apple's pre-installed Python 2.7 is a waste of time. You might be able to get an old version working this way, but not by using the installation instructions on astropy.org, and it won't be supported even if you do.
The easy solution is to just Install the latest Anaconda 5.x with Python 3.6, because it comes with Astropy built in.
The almost-as-easy solution is to install Python 3.6 from either a python.org binary installer, or Homebrew, and then use pip3 or, better, python3 -m pip to install everything, as explained on the Astropy install page.
Either way, before doing anything else, you want to get back to a clean slate. In particular, you do not want pip, or any other scripts, attached to Apple's Python 2.7; they will only cause confusion. Assuming you can't reinstall macOS from scratch, the best way to do this is:
Look in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages and delete everything there except for README and Extras.pth.
Look in /usr/local/bin for symlinks to anything in that site-packages. (If you don't know much about using Unix, try this command: ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep 2.7.) You'll probably have pip and pip2.7 here, and probably nothing else. But whatever you have here, delete it.
Now, when you install Python 3.6, the only thing named pip anywhere will be that Python 3.6's pip. You still want to use pip3 or python3 -m pip, but if you screw up and type pip by accident, it won't break anything.
Also, you should strongly consider using a virtual environment. See the Python Packaging Authority's User Guide (or the Anaconda docs, if you went that way) for more on this.
One simple solution I found:
sudo -H pip install astropy --ignore-installed numpy
I also had this issue and couldn't get around it in a clean way, but this is what I did:
Inside the Lib folder search "numpy" for an egg_info file (eg. numpy-1.11.0.dev0_2329eae.egg-info).
In my case, this is what Pip was looking at to determine if a current version already exists. I deleted it, then ran normal
pip install numpy
and installed the newest version.
I don't recommend this because I don't understand what it's doing under the hood and it doesn't properly uninstall the old version which could be a recipe for trouble down the line, but if you're desperate like I was then maybe this is a solution for you.
I've seen many threads about this, and have tried all options except for completely wiping Python off of my machine and re-downloading everything...
I'm using a Windows 10, 64-bit machine, and had already downloaded Python2.7. Commands like 'C:\>pip install seaborn' were not an issue.
I recently downloaded Python3.6, and now my pip will not work - it returns the error in the title.
I have added C:\Python27, C:\Python36, C:\Python27\Scripts, C:\Python36\Scripts to my Path, and still it won't work.
If I type in the command C:\>python27 -m pip install seaborn, however, the pip works. I am really confused why I can no longer just type in pip install and have it work.
Thanks in advance!
You have two versions of Python added to path. To differentiate between 2.7 and 3.6 you have to tell it which version you want otherwise each pip conflicts with the other (it does not know what to install and where) in other words you type pip you could either mean for Python 2 or for Python 3.
Do not rename pip it will break your system (you should not need to rename). Instead use those already provided..
Your system should have these already:
pip is universal. Best for one installation.
pip3 for Python 3. Best to distinguish between Python 2 and 3
pip3.6 to distinguish between different Python 3 installations.
The same goes for Python 2 installation.
pip, pip2 and pip2.7.
You need to use either pip3 (or pip2) or pip3.6 (or pip2.7) to install in future. This will allow the different versions to be recognised:
For Python 2:
pip2 install seaborn
For Python 3:
pip3 install seaborn
You should also now use shebang lines as well now (if you are not already) to distinguish between versions.
the issue is the ambiguity between the two pip that you've mentioned in the Environments. As you mentioned the issue only started occurring when you installed python3 on the same system where python2 was installed and both have pip and hence when you fire up pip in your cmd, Windows System isn't able to pick one out of the two.
Why does your C:>python27 -m pip install seaborn work?
Well it's quite simple, since you've mentioned the python27 there, windows knows exactly which pip you're talking about.
How to fix it?
see the edits for this section. (I tried this, it didn't work) Removed it from the final answer to avoid confusion.
Alternatively, what you can do is,
rename your python.exe for python 3 to python3. Don't forget to put it inside your PATH environment. Just use python for python 2, python3 for python 3.
Their pip are separated, pip for python 2. pip3 for python 3.
Now, run and see the below commands behave:
# will return the default version of pip
pip --version
# will use the Python 2 version of pip
pip2 --version
# will use the Python 3 version of pip
pip3 --version
Okay so I finally worked it out...
I uninstalled Python3.6 and deleted all relevant folders.
I then went to Control Panel>Programs>Progams and Features and repaired my Python2.7 program. pip works now (I think it got messed up since I tried to rename the universal pip.exe file -> don't do that!!).
After re-downloading Python3.6, I put my universal pip.exe download from Python3 in a different directory so the Path would not get it confused. I now have Paths for both pip2 and pip3 and all is okay.
Thanks for your help!
This is how I solved this issue on my end: (short answer, remove this folder C:\Python27)
Problem: I installed python 3, after uninstalling python 2.7. The issue here is that pip remains behind even after you uninstall python 2.7.
Solution:
1. Uninstall python 3 (if you have it installed).
2. Just in case, I would uninstall python 2.7.
3. This is the key: go to C:\Python27 ... and delete the entire directory (which also contains pip).
This solution is good for those that are fine with ONLY running Python 3 on their machines (which was my case).
