Cannot import Twython - python

I installed Twython 1.2 using the Windows installer at this link: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/twython/1.2. The installer seems to run fine.
I get the error "ImportError: cannot import name Twython" when I try to do:
from twython import Twython
from twython import TwythonStreamer
Does anybody know why I cannot import twython?

Mmmm, Twython's current version is 3.x.x, not 1.2. I think that 1.2 installer is from yeaaars ago when I first started the project - the Twython API and structure has changed a ton since then.

Usually you need to set the environment variable PYTHONPATH to point to the path containing the file twython.py. I'm not sure exactly where Twython installs itself, but presumably it told you during the installation. If not, search for the file twython.py, and the directory it's in is the one you want. I'm not sure how you're running your Python script that imports Twython. If it's from the DOS prompt, try something like
set PYTHONPATH="c:\Program Files\Twython1.2\SOMEDIR"
substituting the actual directory containing twython.py (which might not be in c:\Program Files).
If you're running your script graphically, then if you're running inside some sort of Python IDE, it might have a way of setting PYTHONPATH in its Preferences. Otherwise, you need to go to the Control Panel and find the place where you can set environment variables. It's been awhile since I've used Windows and things have changed recently but it might be under Startup or similar, then under Advanced... or similar.

So i installed numpy . But when i call it in a program an error occurs. Any method to solve it permanently in windows 10

Here is the error
import numpy
Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError
No module named 'numpy'
File "C:\path\to\file\32.py", line 1, in <module>
import numpy
Let me know how did you install the NumPy package; using pip or something else?
If you have multiple python versions, i.e. 2.x and 3.x at the same time, please make sure your interpreter for the 32.py file is the version that you installed NumPy on.
To possibly fix your problem, you should first try installing it and see if there are any errors. You should also check the version of Python you are running on Windows 10, because when you update Python it sometimes switches names between py and python
As you can see, the version of Python has changed between py and python so you should try changing that first.
If this does not work, you should try finding the directory for NumPy and adding it to the system PATH in your script. The installer usually shows you the location by doing the following:
import sys
sys.path.append("<insert numpy location here>")
import NumPy
This should manually force it into finding the package. If none of this works, please tell us and we should be able to find a different solution.
Happy Coding!
If you're using a code editor like PyCharm, you could install it by clicking on
file then settings then the project interpreter setting and install new module! You can search for the module and install.
Make sure that the python version that you want to use is a Windows Environmental Variable. You can test this by running this line in your command line.
> python --version
If you get some other python version that is not the one that you wish to use you can set the python version you want by finding where exactly your Python folder is located and go into settings and set the path as a new variable (I can leave a tutorial for you). If that is too much of a hassle, the Python installers can set the python that you will install as an environmental variable for you. (You could uninstall and reinstall and make sure that you allow it to make it an environmental variable.
After that you should be able to import whatever external packages you want using pip
for example:
pip install numpy

How to properly import libtcod in PyCharm?

I'm trying to set up a roguelike Python project, but I can't seem to be able to import libtcod module into my project. This helloworld crashes, and the IDE keeps telling me that there is no module named libtcodpy.
import libtcodpy
def main():
print('Hello World!')
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
What is the proper way to import modules into Python projects? I'm used to Java, so I was expecting something along the lines of Maven to manage the dependencies. There indeed seems to be something like that in PyCharm as well, this package manager for the venv, which from what I gather serves to isolate the project-specific stuff from the OS- or python-global stuff:
but libtcod simply isn't present in the rather exhaustive list of modules that appears after clicking on the "+" button, just some other module that has something to do with libtcod library (I guess?). Moreover, all the tutorials I found on setting libtcod up advise one to manually copy over files somewhere or run some command that I suppose does the importing somehow and other such solutions, all of which i tried and none of which worked. I don't want to pollute my project structure by using such hodgepodge ways of handling dependencies if I can at all avoid it.
Q: How do I get libtcod to work in my PyCharm project in the most clean and convention-abiding way possible?
Take a look at this github project called tcod: https://github.com/libtcod/python-tcod/blob/master/README.rst#installation
It's a python port of libtcod.
To install using pip, use the following command:
python -m pip install tcod
If you get the error "ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found." when trying to import tcod/tdl then you may need the latest Microsoft Visual C runtime.

How do I register a custom bundle with zipline?

I am following the tutorial here:
http://www.prokopyshen.com/create-custom-zipline-data-bundle
and trying to set up a custom bundle to get price from custom, non US financial assets. I am stuck on the line that says:
Advise zipline of our bundle by registering it via .zipline/extension.py
My extension.py file is located in the .zipline/ directiory and has the following code:
from zipline.data.bundles import register
from zipline.data.bundles.viacsv import viacsv
eqSym = {
"CBA"
}
register(
'CBA.csv', # name this whatever you like
viacsv(eqSym),
)
I don't get what it means to register the bundle via .zipline/extension.py though? I thought it might mean to just run the extension.py file from my terminal via a:
python extenion.py
but that fails and says:
ImportError: No module named viacsv
How do i register this bundle?
I also followed this tutorial and I must confess this part is a little confusing.
First of all, I don't think it's necessary to run:
$ python extension.py
The error message you get probably comes from the fact that Python cannot find the viacsv.py file in sys.path (the places where it looks for modules, etc.). In the tutorial you mentioned, it's not really clear what to do with this file. As far as I am concerned, I just saved the viacsv.py file in my local site-packages directory. As I am on Linux I put it there ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages but it might different for you. You can run the following python script to find out:
import sys
for dr in sys.path:
print dr
Then I just substituted from zipline.data.bundles.viacsv import viacsv with from viacsv import viacsv in extension.py.
I suspect you might be looking for the wrong place for the extension.py file.
For windows machine, the file is under "~\.zipline\extension.py". In my case, it's under "C:\Users\XXXX\.zipline\extension.py".
I had been looking at zipline folder under conda's site-packages folder, and couldn't find it. Then created an extension.py myself wondering why it's not called.
Check a related post here https://www.quantopian.com/posts/zipline-issue-while-creating-custom-bundle-to-bring-yahoo-data.
Same issue here, #Gillu13 pointed me to this solution.
I installed zipline through conda. So zipline is installed in
home/me/anaconda3/envs/krakenex/lib/python3.6/site-packages
in there you will find zipline/data/bundles and you can put viacsv.py in there...
then
from zipline.data.bundles.viacsv import viacsv
works

Importing requests module in python using netbeans

I'm using netbeans to write a simple python program which I need the requests module for, I've downloaded requests through terminal and it all seems to be fine there but netbeans can't seem to find it.
This is the error that it's throwing up:
import requests
ImportError: No module named requests
I've tried installing the requests library directly into the python folder but the folder won't let me paste anything into it.
There do seem to be answers on the netbeans forums but their server is down so won't let me on their website to my annoyance!
EDIT
I've tried to run python setup.py install as per other answers on the website but had no luck.
EDIT
have tried completely uninstalling python and requests to make sure it wasn't an installation error but still no luck.
This clearly looks like an error of installation of the request module to some other place than where your netbeans expects when running the code.
In your console run
which python
Check if this gives the same path as the one set in your netbeans. You can set your path by adding new platform using Tools > Python Platforms > New:
I would suggest that you learn bit more about sandboxed environments such as virtualenv. This article shows how you can use a virtualenv to install packages and use the same virtualenv for netbeans so that whatever packages you install in the virtualenv will be available in the netbeans for you to use. For this case, it could be requests.
In the end I gave up with requests, as I was using requests to get json data from an API I decided just to go back to the drawing board and start over rather than attempt to fix something that I couldn't work out. I am now using the urllib import and whilst this may not be the most efficient way it works which is the most important thing.

Maybe I need to export paths but not sure

I'm trying to use the check-html flag with linkchecker. It gives an error that the tidy module is not installed. If I say tidy at a command line I can use it. I have MacPorts installed and have installed just about every option for libtidy or tidy that has to do with python. I'm thinking it has to do with a $PATH issue or something.
So if I am using python26 and I go into python and then say import tidy there are no errors and all is well. If I use python27 I get errors when I say import tidy. I'm assuming because I installed py26-utidylib py26-pytidylib. There were no py27s. I don't mind being in python26. So it appears if I am in python26 I should be able to run tidy.
But when I run linkchecker it says the tidy module is not installed. When I say which python it says my location is /opt/local/bin/python. Do I need to export the $PATH or $PYTHONPATH or something for it to work?
if you have 2 python compilers running, be sure you use the right one with the "python"-command.
you can see the used interpreter-version if you access the interactive-console with "python".
and you're right, the py26-...-library is for the python2.6 version. if there is no precompiled version you can always compile the library from the source for the required python-version. or at least, you can try.
but here you have to be sure to choose the right python-interpreter to execute the setup-process.
if you want the library for the 2.7-version you have to build it with 2.7-version.
you can also always check the used paths in which the current running python-interpreter is looking for modules, through the interactive python console:
python
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
i assume you have the library installed for the wrong version, has import the wrong module ... or using it wrong :/.
maybe you could supply your code example!?
