I have been trying to install the mlabwrap Python library, but keep on running into the following error when I run the setup.py file using the command python setup.py install in the terminal:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 130, in <module>
queried_version, queried_dir, queried_platform_dir = matlab_params(cmd, WINDOWS, extra_args)
File "setup.py", line 93, in matlab_params
error = call(cmd, **extra_args)

File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1335, in _execute_child
raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
I have done some investigation, and found the following forum post: https://sourceforge.net/p/mlabwrap/mailman/message/29077359/ to resolve the issue. Following the advice in this thread, I changed the following things in the setup.py file:
__version__ = '7.3'
and
MATLAB_DIR = '/Applications/MATLAB_R2015a.app'
I have a feeling that the problem is related to finding the directory that matlab is located in, but I seem to be unable to resolve this. I didn't change my $PATH variable because I was a little confused by the advice given in the thread. Any insight would be much appreciated!
In order to install mlabwrap, you must modify the setup.py file to:
MATLAB_COMMAND = '/Applications/MATLAB_R2015a.app/bin/matlab' # specify a full path if not in PATH
MATLAB_VERSION = 7.3 # e.g: 6 (one of (6, 6.5, 7, 7.3))
# 7.3 includes later versions as well
MATLAB_DIR= '/Applications/MATLAB_R2015a.app/' # e.g: '/usr/local/matlab'; 'c:/matlab6'
PLATFORM_DIR='maci64' # e.g: 'glnx86'; r'win32/microsoft/msvc60'
EXTRA_COMPILE_ARGS=None # e.g: ['-G']
The parameters may change depending on what version of MATLAB you are using and what operating system you are using.

So I've had Python 3.6 on my Windows 10 computer for a while now, and today I just downloaded and installed the graphviz 0.8.2 (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/graphviz) package via the admin commandline with:
pip3 install graphviz
It was only after this point that I downloaded the Graphviz 2.38 MSI installer file and installed the program at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38
So then I tried to run this simple Python program:
from graphviz import Digraph
dot = Digraph(comment="The round table")
dot.node('A', 'King Arthur')
dot.node('B', 'Sir Bedevere the Wise')
dot.node('L', 'Sir Lancelot the Brave')
dot.render('round-table.gv', view=True)
But unfortunately, I received the following error when I try to run my Python program from commandline:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Python36\lib\site-packages\graphviz\backend.py", line 124, in render

startupinfo)
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

raise ExecutableNotFound(args)
graphviz.backend.ExecutableNotFound: failed to execute ['dot', '-Tpdf', '-O', 'round-table.gv'], make sure the Graphviz executables are on your systems' PATH
Notice how what I've asked seems VERY similar to this question asked here:
"RuntimeError: Make sure the Graphviz executables are on your system's path" after installing Graphviz 2.38
But for some reason, adding those paths (suggested in the solutions at the link above) to the system variables isn't working, and I don't know why! I tried restarting the computer after adding the paths as well, still to no success. See the image below:
Although the other suggested solution, which was to add these few lines in front of my Python code, did work:
import os
os.environ["PATH"] += os.pathsep + 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Graphviz2.38/bin/'
But here's the issue: I don't understand why adding to the environment variables didn't work, and this is my primary concern. So my question is this: why did adding those lines of code in front of the Python script work but changing the environment variables didn't? What do I need to do to get my script to run without adding those lines of code in front?
Can you please post the output you get when you type SET in a cmd window after setting the PATH environment variable?
Does it contain C:/Program Files (x86)/Graphviz2.38/bin/ ?
A cmd window must be restarted before updated environment variables become effective!
(The OS on my computer is Windows8)
I tried to install and run geniatagger by following these steps:
In cmd:
python setup.py install
In Python shell:
from geniatagger import Geniatagger
tagger = GeniaTagger('C:\Users\wen\Downloads\geniatagger\geniatagger')
error messages:

I have looked for many solutions but the error still can't be fixed.
How can I fix it?
Notice that the error says D: instead of C:. Something in your shell setup seems to be defaulting to the D drive. Is this script is being run from the C drive or D? If it's the C drive, you could try using relative pathing instead of absolute. If it's running from the D drive, can you run it from C? If it must run from D, you'll have to dig into the genia tagger docs to figure out how to do some custom configuration.
I am running this code in a debian/jessie box:
from elaphe import barcode
text = 'hello world in barcode'
bc = barcode('pdf417', text, options = dict(
compact = False, eclevel = 5, columns = 13,
rowmult = 2, rows = 3),
margin=20, scale=1)
After running this, I execute the following:
bc.save('filename.png')
And then get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

No such file or directory
If I run the same code in an ubuntu 14.04 box, there is no such error and works fine. Since I saw this error appearing in several post, and with lots of packages, I can conclude that it's something related to debian and not to the code itself, not even to elaphe python package.
It would be desirable to find if there is some kind of path to redefine or symlink somewhere, or if there is a patch for this.
Please help.
The error message is not super clean. But it might be caused by missing ghostscript package.
try:
sudo apt-get install ghostscript
I'm working with a set of scripts aimed at modifying an android app, the github repo located here: Ingress Broot Mod. I installed Python 3.2, then installed PyYAML 3.10. I moved on to follow the build instructions and "Import Ingress apk using import_apk.py script."
Specifically, I typed: B:\GitHub\ingress-apk-mod\bin>python import_apk.py "B:\com.nianticproject.ingress-1.apk"
At which point this error pops up.

The closest I could find was Unable to run call subprocess method using python 3.2.
Is this an easy fix; if not, what steps should I take to fix this problem?
This is my first time using python - could this possibly stem from improperly installed Python (did I miss a step?)
I am trying to build adblockplus from this link. When I issue the command:

Am I missing a package? Any hint on what the problem could be will be much appreciated.
The stack trace makes it clear that the issue is caused by the following line:
(result, dummy) = subprocess.Popen(['hg', 'id', '-n'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()
If you look at the subprocess package documentation, this line is trying to run the hg id -n command (get numerical Mercurial revision). Apparently, the Mercurial command line tool isn't present on your system (a possibility that this build script didn't consider) so it fails.
Disclaimer: I happen to be the one who wrote this script and I fixed this bug now. Mercurial isn't essential for the build, the revision number is pretty much only necessary to determine the output file name.
