I'm trying to run CairoSVG but I don't have permission on the server to run it. No problem I think, I've used other libraries in Python before without installing them by pointing sys.path.append to their directory path:
import sys
sys.path.append("/full/path/to/SomeOtherLibrary")
import SomeOtherLibrary
I thought I could create something like loader.py, import the path inside there to CairoSVG with a sys.path.append, then instead of calling: cairosvg image.svg -o image.png I could call /full/path/to/loader.py image.svg -o image.png.
Then I started to create loader.py and thought I have no idea what to do or if this is even possible. I figured I start with:
import sys
sys.path.append("/full/path/to/CairoSVG")
And then I don't know what. If I was able to install the script I'd need to pass parameters to it. How can I create a loader to run this library?
Simply call cairosvg.main() from your script. Pretty much like it is done here: https://github.com/Kozea/CairoSVG/blob/master/cairosvg.py

I am having trouble getting an import statement to work. I am attempting to use this package:
https://github.com/mailgun/talon
I am running the following command:
from talon.signature import EXTRACTOR_FILENAME, EXTRACTOR_DATA
I get the following error:
ImportError: cannot import name 'EXTRACTOR_FILENAME' from 'talon.signature' (system path to file)
While troubleshooting I don't see EXTRACTOR_FILENAME or EXTRACTOR_DATA defined anywhere. I did a search in directory for all files. Is there some sort of convention in python where EXTRACTOR_FILENAME maps to a specific class?
UPDATE: Figured it out, just something as simple as manually defining the 2 constants. The docs weren't exactly clear or I missed it.
For your project the import looks like this:
import talon
from talon import quotations
Put those statements on the top of your file, and it should work.
if you don't have the packages on your system type this in your terminal:
pip install talon
The Github repo also explains this
I have a question that I assume has a simple answer, but for some reason I am struggling to find it on my own. I have created and activated a virtual environment with virtualenv, and I am trying to install all the necessary packages in order to create a requirements.txt file.
I have, for example, a Python file that begins like this:
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
from lib.project import Projector
from lib import writer
import os
import datetime
from datetime import timedelta
from datetime import datetime
import pprint
When I try to run this file from the virtual machine, I receive the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "readMap.py", line 2, in <module>
from lib.project import Projector
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lib.project'
My problem is that I'm not sure why the virtual environment can't find project.py. My directory structure is:
regiaoSul
lib
__init__.py
arrival_conversion.py
coord_conversion.py
message_conversion.py
project.py
route_conversion.py
stop_conversion.py
wkt_parser.py
writer.py
readMap.py
json_generator.py
The import on line 2 implies lib is a module rather than "a simple repository".
I will try running the script with the flag -m. Something like this -
python -m script_name
make sure to drop the .py extension when you run with -m flag.
Another advice: you don't need to install python files to the virtual environment, they are not some external libraries. They only need to be present (with the same order of packaging) when you run your script.
Thanks to everyone who responded. I believe the issue was some sort of dependency problem. In readMap.py I had imported writer from lib, and in writer.py I had imported Projector from project. I moved the function that required Projector from writer.py to readMap.py and it worked.
I still don't fully understand why this was a problem. Until recently I had been running my scripts in PyCharm and they all worked with the structure I had. It was only when I tried to run them from the command line in my virtual machine that they didn't work.
If anybody would like to explain the distinction to me and what the exact problem was with my imports, feel free to.
I sometimes face the same issue. A solution is to add the path to sys.path by:
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/your/package_or_module")
I have a python file and the developer of that code has left the organization. When I run the code I get the following error.
import dataAnalysis as DV ModuleNotFoundError: No module named
'dataAnalysis'
I provide below the brief snippet of the python file "main.py" below.
import dataAnalysis as DV
def performCheck():
... other code
... other code
i = DV.addGraph( pathplus)
Here my question is , how to know the actual module or package name of "dataAnalysis" from the above import statement so that I can make "pip install ". However, I tried to install DataAnalysis module, still it does not work.
Is there any way to get the module or package name to install from the import statement in python ?
Go to console or terminal and run command pip install dataAnalysis. If permission denied, then make sure you have enough privilege to install a package.
Update:
In my opinion pip package DataAnalysis is a library that can be used for pre-processing a csv file. As per your given code, it looks like adding a graph so may be it could be a local package. Check dataAnalysis folder in your project with __init__.py file inside.
My goal is to create a python script that loops over cells of an excel document. This is my python script called reader.py, and it works just fine.
import xlrd
import os
exceldoc = raw_input("Enter the path to the doc [C:\\folder\\file.xlsx]: ")
wb = xlrd.open_workbook(exceldoc,'rb')
.... some code....
The problem I'm encountering is attempting to use py2exe to create an executable so this script can be used elsewhere.
Here is my setup.py file:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import sys
from glob import glob
setup(name='Excel Document Checker',console=['reader.py'])
I run the following command: python setup.py py2exe
It appears to run fine; it creates the dist folder that has my reader.exe file, but near the end of the command I get the following:
The following modules appear to be missing
['cElementTree', 'elementtree.ElementTree']
I did some searching online, and tried the recommendations here Re: Error: Element Tree not found, this changing my setup.py file:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
import sys
from glob import glob
options={
"py2exe":{"unbuffered": True,"optimize": 2,
'includes':['xml.etree.ElementPath', 'xml.etree.ElementTree', 'xml.etree.cElementTree'],
"packages": ["elementtree", "xml"]}}
setup(name='Excel Document Checker',options = options,console=['reader.py'])
I'm now getting an error:
ImportError: No module named elementtree
I'm sort of at an impasse here. Any help or guidance is greatly appreciate.
Just some information - I'm running Python 2.6 on a 32 bit system.
You explicitly told setup.py to depend on a package named elementtree here:
"packages": ["elementtree", "xml"]}}
There is no such package in the stdlib. There's xml.etree, but obviously that's the same name.
The example you found is apparently designed for someone who has installed the third-party package elementtree, which is necessary if you need features added after Python 2.6's version of xml.etree, or if you need to work with Python 1.5-2.4, but not if you just want to use Python 2.6's version. (And anyway, if you do need the third-party package… then you have to install it or it won't work, obviously.)
So, just don't do that, and that error will go away.
Also, if your code—or the code you import (e.g., xlrd) is using xml.etree.cElementTree, then, as the py2exe FAQ says, you must also import xml.etree.ElementTree before using it to get it working. (And you also may need to specify it manually as a dependency.)
You presumably don't want to change all the third-party modules you're using… but I believe that making sure to import xml.etree.ElementTree before importing any of those third-party modules works fine.
As part of my build system, I am using a modified version of a Python package (cogapp). I don't want to install the package because:
I've modified the package and don't want to worry about collision with unmodified versions which may already be installed.
It's nicer if the users of the build system don't need to install extra packages.
However, I'm having problems with using the package if it's not installed. If it is installed, I can run:
python -m cogapp <additional args>
and everything runs as intended.
The package has a __main__.py script:
import sys
from cogapp import Cog
sys.exit(Cog().main(sys.argv))
I tried running this directly, e.g.:
python -m <path>/__main__ <additional_args>
But I get the error:
...
/__main__.py", line 3, in <module>
from cogapp import Cog
ImportError: No module named cogapp
This is probably related to the error I get if I run __init__.py:
from .cogapp import *
The error is:
from .cogapp import *
ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package
How can I run the package as a package?
EDIT:
I found a fix by removing all the relative imports from cogapp, and removing the -m, i.e. not running as a module. In this instance it's not too bad because it's a small package with only a single directory. However I'm interested in how this should be done in future. There's lots of stuff written around this subject, but no clear answers!
Here's the solution I've come to.
Disclaimer: you are actually installing the package but to a different path than the standard one.
$ mkdir newhome
$ python setup.py install --home=./newhome
$ PYTHONPATH=$PWD/newhome/lib/python <COMMAND_NEEDING_THAT_PACKAGE>
