I am trying to install Sikuli in Python. I have Python-3.4.1 32 bit on a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
When I execute the command:
pip.exe install sikuli
(pip.exe is installed in -> C:\Python34\Scripts)
It gives me the error:

What do I do to get it installed?
I can execute the Sikuli script from a Python Script but I want to have this installed in Python so that I can use it from within Python by using:
from sikuli import *
Sikuli is not available in CPython (my assumption of what you mean by 'Python'). This would have to be installed 'in' Jython and is still interpreter dependent. I don't use the sikuli IDE because it has no IDE features, but then you run into an issue where Sikuli cannot be run in all IDE's. The IDE must be able to load the .jar correctly. Try Eclipse: http://doc.sikuli.org/faq/040-other-ide.html. My Eclipse project is set up following these directions and I can simply run-as Jython and the script will execute the Sikuli part of the script as expected.
There is no python package available for standalone Sikuli.
Are you trying to install Python-Sikuli-Client as the only sikuli package available at below location
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-sikuli-client
SikuliX-1.1.0 is latest Sikuli installation available. It comes in executable jars format and you need JRE 1.6 or higher installed on your system to install SikuliX. It has it's own IDE or you can use Jython as interpreter to compile and run your python scripts written for Sikuli in IDEs like Eclipse with PyDev plugin.
Sikuli script is older version for Sikuli and again it is JAVA jar executable file and needs JRE to run and install it.
For sikuli module installation, you should satisfy the jnius module dependency. jnius installation failed for me, so I built it from sources and installed manually.
After jnius installation, you are free to install sikuli via pip. Before using sikuli, you also need to do the following things:
Add path to JRE jvm.dll to the PATH environment variable, e.g.:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_101\bin\client"
Increase JVM heap:
set _JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx512M (in Windows)

we can see that installing is complain about

so we looked on setup.py
and we marked the following line - python_requires

],
},

#python_requires='>=2.7,!=3.0.*,!=3.1.*,!=3.2.*,!=3.3.*,!=3.4.*', )
then we run again
installation is now better and we can see the pip is installed as
which pip
/usr/bin/pip
but last lines are:

so after re-run again the python setup.py install , installation succeeded without errors
example of last lines:

pip 20.1.1 is already the active version in easy-install.pth

so the workaround here was the following
marked the line as
# python_requires='>=2.7,!=3.0.*,!=3.1.*,!=3.2.*,!=3.3.*,!=3.4.*',
and run the following twice
python setup.py install
but this workaround maybe works but it is ugly
any suggestion how to fix the pip installation ?

Can anyone help me get this to work? I don't know where to start with this outcome.
Just wanted to add for those who (like me) are new to git and conda - to install the FiPy from develop branch you should (following this answer):
Activate your conda environment: source activate myenv (or activate
myenv for windows)
Install git and pip: conda install git pip
Install FiPy: pip install git+git://github.com/usnistgov/fipy#develop

Cleaning up...
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_root/Flask-mail
Any possible workarounds? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The easiest way to avoid these kind of problems is to create a virtual environment
>>>pip install virtualenv
>>>cd my_project_folder
>>>virtualenv venv
now activate your virtual environment
>>>source venv/bin/activate
now install there pip install Flask-Mail
hopefully now it should work there
if your done working then deactivate it
>>>deactivate
or
It seems like all the problem is because of certifi version conflict
so try downloading the source from here
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/certifi
and install from source
Extract it go into the folder and run this command
sudo python setup.py install
and it should work
peace
If you do not have virtual env set up I would suggest do so first. If you have that already you may need to activate that from your terminal:
>>>source venv/bin/activate
Once completed just deactivate it for your rest of the commands:
>>>deactivate

Where do I find the 'Structure' module?
Anyone having the same issue?
I have followed the instructions on: https://github.com/pybrain/pybrain/wiki/installation.
what am I missing?
The Pybrain can be setup by pip install pybrain directly.
The FNN in pybrain have a bit problem of convergence and performance. As substitution, there are lots of advices on Python for AI, such as FANN (An example) and scikit-learn (for lots of ML method but not contains FNN directly).
Try not to use pip. I always prefer getting the entire folder from PyPI or github (if available) and then doing the simple python setup.py install.
Also, whenever you do some work with the packages which are under active development (or not very commonly use), please read their documentation.
If you see the documentation : Here. You will see that they use Python 2.x.
And you are clearly using Python 3.x.
Get Python 2.x and download the folder from github. Unzip it and install.
Hope it helps.
Cheers.
Try following queries:
pip install numpy
pip install scipy
pip install pybrain
OR:
download ez_setup.py and run it:
python ez_setup.py
OR:
use easy_install:
easy_install pybrain

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'symlink'
Has anybody solved this issue or can anybody suggest a workaround?
The readline module you are trying to install with easy_install is for OS X, not windows. There are Windows-compatible replacements for readline out there but perhaps you should first try updating fabric itself to a more current version (0.9 is out there now).
Grepping the source of the 0.9 version does not find any dependencies on readline.
Following these steps exactly worked for me:
1) Installed using the MSI installer for x86 from here.
2) Installed in the default C:\Python27 directory.
3) Create a new directory: C:\Python27\Scripts
4) Added C:\Python27 and C:\Python27\Scripts to the system path:
5) Download the distribute_setup.py from here into C:\Python27\Scripts
6) Open a command line, navigate to C:\Python27\Scripts, run: 'python distribute_setup.py'
7) now run 'easy_install pip'
8) now run 'pip install fabric'
9) You should get an error saying PyCrypto couldn't install. You can download the pre-build Windows binary from here. Run this to install PyCrypto.
10) run 'pip install fabric' again and it should say everything is installed.
11) in a different directory (let's say c:\dev\hello) create a fabfile.py and add the following code:
def hello(name="world"):
print("Hello %s!" % name)
12) cd to this directory and run 'fab hello:working'. You should see output say
Hello working!
Done.
Give this readline a try. It is a module for Windows that allows additional features in IPython that aren't native and might work with what you are trying to do.
0.1.1 is an older version, I believe. I have no problem installing Fabric on Windows with ActivePython (w/ PyPM):
C:\> pypm install fabric
Ready to perform these actions:
The following packages will be installed:
fabric-0.9.0 pycrypto-2.0.1
Get: [pypm.activestate.com] fabric 0.9.0-1
Get: [pypm.activestate.com] pycrypto 2.0.1-1
Installing fabric-0.9.0
Fixing script C:\Users\sridharr\AppData\Roaming\Python\Scripts\fab-script.py
Installing pycrypto-2.0.1
Download and run easy_install installer for your python version from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#downloads . ie: setuptools-0.6c11.win32-py2.6.exe
On the command prompt, lauch easy_install -U fabric to install the last fabric release.
Readline should be available with Cygwin, if you want to move your entire stack in that direction.
