I’m completely new to Python and I want to install the package py-webrtcvad in Windows 7, but I'm stuck at the error ImportError: No module named 'pip.utils.setuptools_build'. There is an answer to this problem in stackoverflow which seems to solve the problem for others, but it doesn't work for me.
Here’s a summary of what I’ve done and tried so far:
Installed Python 3.5 and set up the Windows path environment so
that it works from any directory.
Installed pip for Python.
Tried to install the package with python -m pip install webrtcvad,
but it failed, returning the error Unable to find vcvarsall.bat.
I found a blog that deals with the vcvarsall.bat
problem: blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/pythonengineering/2016/04/11/unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat. Following the directions of that blog:
First I just installed Visual C++ Build Tools 2015 and tried installing the package straight away (without updating setuptools), but I received a lot of error messages (which I didn’t write down).
I tried reinstalling setuptools, which I did following the directions in https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools: I removed the version of setuptools that came with my Python installation (v20), and installed the latest version (v30). This time I got a different error message when trying to install py-webrtcvad: ImportError: No module named 'pip.utils.setuptools_build'.
Asked for assistance in the Python official chat. They made three
suggestions:
Updating pip with python -m pip install --upgrade pip. Didn’t
work. Again, the error ImportError: No module named 'pip.utils.setuptools_build'.
Reinstalling Visual C++ Build Tools 2015. No difference, same error
again.
Reinstalling Python itself. The Python installer offers three
choices: Repair, modify and uninstall.
Repair: Didn’t work. Same error.
Modify: Doesn’t look like it offers useful modifications for this.
Uninstall: Uninstalled and reinstalled. Still the same error.
I’m out of ideas. Can you help me?
Note: I imagine this should be doable in Windows 7 with Python 3.5. However, if it isn't I'm open to trying anything different. For example, installing a different version of Python would be no problem at all. I could also try installing Linux if that will solve the problem.
There was a bug in version 2.0.8 of webrtcvad that caused it to use the wrong flags when compiling for Windows: it was using -DWEBRTC_POSIX instead of -DWIN32. This might have been the source of the "lot of error messages" you got during one of your early attempts.
The fixed version has been pushed to pypi as version 2.0.9. I've confirmed that pip install webrtcvad works correctly on Windows 10. I'm using a pretty fresh install of Python, so I would try it first without reinstalling setuptools.

Overview: While running Python 3.6, after upgrading my arcgis package, scripts no longer recognizes many packages and pip itself completely broke, making it impossible to upgrade or uninstall any packages.
Background Info: Fairly recently, when I run a particular program of mine, I have been seeing a deprecation message connected to the arcgis package. So, I upgraded the arcgis package to see if it fixed it. It seemed to install correctly but then when trying to run my program, I'd get errors for other packages, like folium or requests. I then tried upgrading Python and initially, it worked. I used pip to install pandas and requests but right after I installed arcgis, everything broke again. So then when trying to uninstall arcgis (or do anything else pip related) I get this error:
FileExistsError: [WinError 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists: 'C:\Users\myuserpath\AppData\Local\.certifi'
I've uninstalled Python but it doesn't change anything. pip install any package results in this error. I tried reverting back to Python 3.6 but the installer wasn't available from the python site, only 3.9.
What could have been changed or affected by this arcgis installation?
There seems to be two primary issues you're dealing with. The first is as #BoarGules mentioned, that arcgis does a 'full' install with all its dependencies and that could be causing problems. Secondly, the newest requests library seems to have some issues as well, at least from what I've experienced. So let's get started fixing all this.
There's probably a few different ways to fix this, so this is just one of the many. First, uninstall python and delete the python folder from your AppData folder - in your case, it would be the Python 3.9 folder. Re-install Python and check your site-packages folder making sure it only contains the default Python packages. Open up a command prompt and do a pip install of something basic, like pandas. If that goes well, then the first hurdle is over.
When it comes time to install arcgis again, you'll want to use this instead
pip install arcgis --no-deps
this will prevent the doubling up of any of the packages or whatever seems to be happening. You will need to then also install these:
pip install ujson
pip install requests_ntlm
Next, when you come to installing requests, use an older library, like this one:
pip install requests==2.20.0
That should get things back up and running.
I've installed the latest python version 3.9.7 on my ubuntu 20.04 machine. I'm attempting to run some code that requires the Talos package, however I've attempted several times to install Talos using pip3. It does much of the work downloading and installing stuff, until it gets to something called "building wheel for scipy", and then after a lot of work, all I get is error messages. My first question is, is it possible that there is no version of Talos for 3.9.7, or that 3.9.7 is too advanced? If it should integrate Talos, how can I diagnose the problem so I can get it installed? Thx. J
This could be because the wrong version of Cython is being picked up. I have experienced this being the cause of scipy build errors in the past. I would try a pip3 install --upgrade cython first.
I'm trying to run a Python module for a school project and I am getting this error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'win32crypt' at line import win32crypt.
I've search the website for solution and encountered a post that states pywin32 is required. So I installed it with pip. I also tried installing pypiwin32. None of these installs worked. Now I've tried Dependency Walker to see if there are any dependencies missing and I see at least 100 DLLs that are. How can I fix the issue?
win32cryrpt is a part of the Windows Extensions for Python or pywin32. It is a wrapper around the Windows crypto API. It doesn't make sense to try and install it without pywin32 and if your install of that has failed then that is the problem you have to solve.
Please try pip install pypiwin32 again, being sure to execute it in the correct folder, which is the Scripts subfolder of the Python environment you want to install it in. You may have more than one Python installation without realizing it, and if you run pip from outside that folder, you may get a different instance of pip. The standard location for Python installations is C:\Program Files\Python3x. If the pip install doesn't complete as expected then edit your question to include the messages from the failed install. Did not work isn't enough to go on.
I'm trying to start with OpenCV with python. I have experience c# and I have knowledge of c++. However, I feel more comfortable with python instead of c++. I installed OpenCV then python 3.4 in visual studio 2015. At the beginning I've received an error numpy, "Module couldn't be found", thankfully, I resolved it. The I got another error cv2 "Module couldn't be found" I asked an question yesterday, but I think the question has been left away. Anyways, I'm not complaining, but I still need some help please to stat with OpenCV in python.
Installing python 3.4 Successful
Installing numpy Successful
installing matpilotlib Failed
installing cv2 Failed
can anybody help me please thanks a lot.
It's very common to install Python packages through pip today (recursive acronym for pip installs packages). However, this is not that trivial under Windows.
How to install matplotlib:
Try to open a commandline and type in pip install matplotlib. If this does not work, you'll need to do some more work to get pip running. I gave a detailed answere here: Not sure how to fix this Cmd command error?.
How to install OpenCV:
The Python OpenCV DLL must be made for your version of Python and your system architecture (or, to be more specific, the architecture your Python was compiled for).
Download OpenCV for your Python version (2/3)
Try replacing the x64 version with the x86 version
There are a lot of different binaries here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#opencv. Try to get the one exactly matching your Python version and System architecture and install it via pip (cp35 means CPython version 3.5 ect.).
If you have the OpenCV .whl file matching your system configuration, do pip install file.whl.
Hope this helps!
You can install matplotlib using pip (which is already installed on your machine - mentioned in your previous quesiton):
pip install matplotlib

You may be better off using an package such as pythonxy as a start, e.g. from https://python-xy.github.io/ , instead of installing each single package manually.
I've been having a ton of issues in general trying to install packages on python 3 on windows. I don't know if any issues are related or not, I'm just going to try to provide as much detail to these issues as I can.
It's not just PYQT, but a couple packages are giving me issues with installing. I have a python 3.5.1 virtual environment, and when I try to install PYQT4 it gives me the error (using pip, pip3, with and without --pre):
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pyqt4 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for pyqt4
This isn't the only package that has given me this exact same error, but I can't recall atm what other packages gave me issues. (Another issue I often get with other packages is error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat. I've been through all the questions regarding that error, installing visual c fails for me).
So I decided to try to download the zip and follow this guide: http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/installation.html , which has me following this guide to install SIP as a requirement: http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/sip4/installation.html#downloading .
So now I'm having more problems. Part of the installation process for SIP requires using a makefile. So I downloaded make from cygwin. I run python configure.py to generate the makefile (in the proper virtualenv), and I run make, but make never ends. It keeps reading this over and over again until I kill powershell or cmd:
cd sipgen
/usr/bin/make
make[453]: Entering directory '/cygdrive/c/Users/<username>/.virtualenvs/<envname>/sip-4.17'
That directory is the location of the makefile. I'm completely inexperienced with make, so any help would be appreciated. All of these problems are while using Python 3. My python 2 virtual environments are able to install most packages fine.
Edit: My mistake, in this case it's giving the same pip error with python 2 and 3.
