I'm trying to get this module working:
https://github.com/makerbot/s3g
Their naming is a bit confusing, as the whole thing often gets referred to as "makerbot_driver" and there is also a subfolder called that.
I run into to trouble when I try to run the command:
python virtualenv.py virtualenv
When I try to run it in the makerbot_driver folder, as they suggest, I get this:
python: can't open file 'virtualenv.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Which makes sense, as virtualenv.py is actually one folder up. However, when I go one folder up, and run the same command, it has a bit more success, but runs into a bunch of errors that I really can't seem to interpret:

I've tried to install things like the pyserial module they require and virtualenv, and that's all turned out fine, but this virtualenv thing just keeps going badly for me.
Any advice at all would be appreciated. Thanks.
That is a known bug in Ubuntu. Fix:
$ cd /usr/lib/python2.7
$ sudo ln -s plat-x86_64-linux-gnu/_sysconfigdata_nd.py .
Then it works.
$ python2.7 virtualenv.py virtualenv
New python executable in virtualenv/bin/python2.7

I need the osgeo and GDAL libraries in python code. So, I imported them and I compiled to check whether they are installed or not (I'm not a python expert), and as expected the libraries do not exist. So, I tried to install it using the pycharm setting tools.
For the osgeo, I found two possibilities.
Django-osgeo-importer.
Django-osgeo-importer-client.
and the installation was successful. But for the GDAL I've got an error (see figure).
And I tried also to install the GDAL from the terminal and also I got this error:

I have searched on the internet for a solution to import magic correctly in Windows 10 64-bit. I found this, but I do not understand the solution.
It says to copy two DLLs into the specified path in the OS.
What does the below command mean?
file_magic = magic.Magic(magic_file="c:\path\to\magic.mgc")
Is the solution the combination of 1 + 2? Or just 1? I have done 1. Still getting an error. (the 1st error is solved)

I think you are successfully completed Step 1. In 2nd step keep your magic.mgc file ( obtained by cloning of libmagicwin64) somewhere accessible by python script ( in the below case C:\Programs\libmagicwin64\ folder). then you can use like this...
>>> import magic
>>> file_magic = magic.Magic(magic_file="C:\Programs\libmagicwin64\magic.mgc")
>>> print(file_magic.from_file("D:\Work Folder\mcabcaaug2016.pdf"))

I've been trying to install the rpy2 module so I can use R functions inside my Python script, but I'm getting an error after following the advice from these pages:
1) Tried to guess R's HOME but no R command in the PATH. OsX 10.6
2) http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2/doc-dev/html/overview.html
What I've done so far:
1) Edited my path environment variable to include "C:\Program Files\R\R-3.1.0\bin\x64;"
2) Created a new environment variable called "R_HOME" and set its value to "C:\Program Files\R\R-3.1.0"
3) Created a new environment variable called "R_USER" and set its value to "Hefin" (my windows username)
Then in my command prompt I type:
easy_install rpy2
As far as I'm aware, easy_install is setup and installed correctly.
The output I get is:

I'm afraid I'm new to Python and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've searched through previous forum posts, but none seem to have this problem. I'm using a 64bit machine with Windows 7, Python3.4 and R3.1.0.
Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated as I'm sure it's just something simple I'm doing wrong.
Thank you!

There's a much easier way to go about this - install rpy2 from Christoph Gohlke's Python Extension Packages for Windows repository here. Download the rpy2‑2.5.5‑cp34‑none‑win_amd64.whl file (the current version at the time of this writing), change to the download folder on the command line, and run
pip install rpy2‑2.5.5‑cp34‑none‑win_amd64.whl
pip is already included in Python 3.4, and should be used instead of easy_install when installing new modules, as easy_install is deprecated.
Installing rpy2 on windows is straight forward using conda
conda install rpy2
I am trying to run a python project that I have not written myself. This has required me to install a series of new libraries, but more importantly, it has required me to install Cython.
I think I've installed Cython succesfully at this point. I am using MinGW for my compiler. When I try to run the project I get the error
ImportError: Building module RayTrace failed: ['DistutilsPlatformError: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat\n']
As far as I've understood this is about setting the path for the compiler. I have created the distutils.cfg file that says MinGW is the compiler as well as put MinGW in Path.
Where do I go from here?

If I try just easy_install rfc3987 I'm getting the same error.
Are there any ways to go around this?
rfc3987 claims that it works on Python 2.7 and 3.x. You're trying to install it on 2.6. So it fails.
The problem has nothing to do with your own package, or with easy_install. If you download the tarball manually and run python2.6 setup.py install, you get the same error. And in fact, at least in 1.3.1, there's code that clearly isn't legal under Python 2.6, like this function.
From the git history, it looks like there have been changes to make it Python 2.6 compatible, so the next release may work. Until then, you won't be able to use it from 2.6.
