I am trying to install https://github.com/ExaVault/evapi-python.git using pip, but it doesn't have a setup.py so how am I supposed to use it? I want to use the packages it contains, but with no setup.py how am I supposed to use it?
Just an unfinished, broken package, it isn't supposed to be installed by Python tools. Install it manually — clone the repo and copy files to site-packages.
And send them a bug report. Or better yet a pull-request.
Upd. Oh, I see, you've sent a bug report alredy, nice!
Installing it looks like a manual job, but you can still use it. Download it as zip here https://github.com/ExaVault/evapi-python/archive/master.zip, extract, go to evapi-python-master folder, go to src, and simply place your code there.
import V1Api

I'm a beginner in Python and I have no experience with GitHub at all. I want to import the module semsimlib from the following URL: https://github.com/timvdc/semsimlib
I have looked on the internet for help on how to do this but most of it is very unclear and doesn't seem to work for me. Can anyone provide a detailed explanation on how to do this in a easy way?
It looks the repo does not provide appropriate scripts to simply install the package. There is no setup.py file and there is no distribution on pypi.
What you can do is go to site-packages folder inside your python installation or inside your virtual environment. Then run git clone https://github.com/timvdc/semsimlib. You should now be able to import semsimlib. Keep in mind that you will also have to install all the other dependencies your self one by one since there is also no requirements file.
You can also clone the repo into any folder on your computer and at the top of your script put:
import sys
sys.path.append("path/to/semsimlib/folder")
semsimlib will now be importable. However, I would try to get it to work with the first method.
I am currently interested in installing the following git repository:
https://github.com/CodeReclaimers/neat-python/tree/master/examples/xor.
It contains a file called visualize.py and I would love to just install and use it as a module (e.g. numpy). However, I'm not sure how if it is possible to do this and was, therefore, hoping anyone could clarify this for me.
I have tried:
pip install git+https://github.com/CodeReclaimers/neat-python/tree/master/examples/xor
Any help would be appreciated!
Edit:
I was able to clone the entire repo:
pip install git+https://github.com/CodeReclaimers/neat-python.git
Does this mean I should be able to use all the files available in this repository as a module or is there something I'm still missing? I still cannot use visualize as a module. Thanks!
If you are able to clone the library to the same directory, you can simply import the python file without pip installing as module.
For instance if the file is called myFile.py, you can call the following and the entire file is executed and functions within can be used.
import myFile
1- open directory with modules
example : c:\users\james\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib
2-New python file created
example : visualize.py
3- save the python file.
I am aware that pip freeze > requirements.txt exists, yet that that prints out my system packages, of which only a few my directory/ project needs.
I am not using a virtualenv so I'm pretty sure I can't print out local packages like that.
I also know that pipdeptree exsists but I also don't see how that solves my problem?
I believe tools like the following could help:
pipreqs
pigar
As far as I can tell, these tools read the code in the directory and try to figure out the dependencies required based on the import statements they found in the code.

I'm having a problem with this package that I installed in Python 3.5. After installing it, I try to run requestProxy.py but it won't import any of its own packages. Here's what I did, and what's happening.
I cloned it and created a private repo using these instructions.
I installed in an activated virtualenv, created without using sudo, using:
pip3 install -e HTTP_Proxy_Randomizer
Terminal said it installed ok.
I can find the egg link in my virtualenv's site-packages folder, but when I try to run the main file, it says:
from project.http.requests.parsers.freeproxyParser import freeproxyParser
ImportError: No module named project.http.requests.parsers.freeproxyParser
I had to write a setup.py for the package, which didn't seem to come with its own. I came up with:
setup(name='HTTP_Request_Randomizer',
version='1.0',
description='HTTP Proxy Request Randomizer',
package_dir={'project': 'project','http':'project/http',\
'requests':'project/http/requests','errors':'project/http/requests/errors',\
'parsers':'project/http/requests/parsers','proxy':'project/http/requests/proxy'},
packages=['project','http','requests','errors','parsers','proxy']
Here's the package structure:
pip3 freeze
gives me:
Complete output from command git config --get-regexp remote\..*\.url:
fatal: bad config file line 4 in /home/danny/.gitconfig
----------------------------------------
Error when trying to get requirement for VCS system Command "git config --get-regexp remote\..*\.url" failed with error code 128 in /home/danny/Documents/HTTP_Request_Randomizer, falling back to uneditable format
Could not determine repository location of /home/danny/Documents/HTTP_Request_Randomizer
Django==1.9.7
## !! Could not determine repository location
HTTP-Request-Randomizer==1.0
mysqlclient==1.3.7
So I want to have requestProxy.py install the other necessary packages and not fail at line 1. I'm sure this is a problem with my implementation and not the original author's coding. I was experimenting with this package a couple of weeks ago before I was aware of virtualenvs or pip install -e, and just copied it manually to site-packages. It worked then. Now I understand the concepts to do it more cleanly, but I can't get those to work.
It feels as though I have done something wrong with my git config or with my package_dir structure in setup.py, perhaps?
I've been pythoning for maybe a month and have a lot to learn. I normally find what I need on Stack Overflow without having to bother anyone, but after trying everything with this, I really need some help. Any advice much appreciated.
I figured it out. I was using Ninja IDE, and even though I entered the virtualenv for the project and restarted, it still wasn't recognizing it. I was able to run it from the terminal, and also in Pycharm and Liclipse.
I'm trying to install PyDrive [a wrapper library of the google drive api for python] and pip is giving me this error. It did the same thing when trying to install things like matplotlib or mega.py [a mega.nz api for python].
Here's the error:
Anyone got a clue what's going on?
Cheers
You could try renaming that pip.py to something else.
There is a library called pip somewhere on your system (and it may also be bundled within pip.exe). That is different from the "entry point" script that actually runs pip from the command line. When you run pip, it will try to import the library called pip. If there is a script called pip.py in the Scripts directory (representing the entry-point script, not the library), it may import that instead of the real library. If this is indeed the problem, renaming pip.py to something else will remove the name conflict and allow pip to properly import the library it needs.
I'm not sure how you wound up with pip.py in your Scripts directory in the first place. I don't think it should be there. My Python installation on Windows doesn't have it.
