Our project is a mostly J2EE based development with the automatic functional and integration tests written in Python. The test environment is Linux nonetheless developers use Windows 7 (64-bit). We would like to be able to execute the functional tests on the developer machines as well (before comitting). Unfortunately the pexpect-windows-portability issue would leave us no choice but:
To do some serious refactoring on our test libraries to be able to use both winpexpect (or wexpect) and pexpect depending on the os settings.
Or to use cygwin. Guess what, with this second option we seem to have an issue :-) Using Python 2.7.5 on Cygwin64 installing the requests package results in error:
pip says it can not find a file after downloading and extracting the library
easy install doesn't throw an explicit error, but leaves everything in the temporary dir
after copying the files under the site-packages directory a simple import requests in python causes the interpreter to exit
Has anybody encountered this problem? With Cygwin-32 requests install smoothly. (however we have some other issues - see my next post ;-))
Thank you in advance: Joe, the public
Also ran into the same issues when trying to install requests, all the options on http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/install/#install did not work. I went to https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests and then clicked on "Download Zip" and I got requests-master.zip.
Update: This should be fixed in Cygwin.
This was a bug in CPython that has been fixed in their master branch. I've pushed a candidate package to the Python maintainer for Cygwin, but you might try this hotfix.
I downloaded from "https://github.com/requests/requests" and then i just ran the setup.py from the requests-master folder ( this was placed in cygwin folder). After that I went to cygwin terminal and then I ran python --> import requests. Voila it worked.

I have uninstalled Python and now I cant install it anymore (error 0x800705b4). Has anybody encountered this error ? I have tried different versions but nothing works.
You can try Anaconda for Windows which has seperate environments.
The solution I would recommend though is to use WinPython, which after install is just a folder with everything you need, doesn't change a thing in your windows environment and still works great! There is also a version that comes with the most used packages already installed, give it a try!
No need to mess with environments, just use a different WinPython folder for your projects!
Got the same error after a little digging I found the below thing...It works like a charm...
First...Make sure to check the setup package for your system which is X86 or x64, download packages based on the system before you proceed, otherwise, the hack won't work. The below is explained for x64 bit windows 8.1 system with a 64 bit Python setup package use the below-mentioned setup name(.exe file) in Step1: and search in google for downloading the Python setup
Start CMD as Admin, after that
Step1: ~YourFilePath/python-3.5.0-amd64.exe /quiet InstallAllUsers=1 PrependPath=1 Include_test=0
Step2:
~YourFilePath/python-3.5.0-amd64.exe
~YourFilePath stands for the location of the python-3.5.0-amd64.exe file on your PC Example: E:\Softwares\python-3.5.0-amd64.exe
now after executing Step2: the setup will run without any errors..... Cool...
The above-mentioned steps should work or else If you find any difficulties please visit here which explains the process in detail. Good Luck...

Eventually what did the trick for me was to roll back the previous microsoft update (KB4512575)
I'm actually using Python for an audio steganography project but I have some troubles.
I searched this error code on the forum, but I found things about SQL installations and not Python.
I'm trying to re-install Python 3.6.5 after an uninstall, because of a bug with pip.
I installed Python 2.7, Python 3.6.5, Python with VS 2017, before uninstall it because it wasn't working.
However, when I'm runing the installer as an administrator, hit "customize installation", tick everything excpet "balblalblabal (this requires VS 2015 or later)", and click on "install", it tells me that :

I realy need Python to work and I'm now stuck ...
If anybody here could help me, it would be nice !
Thanks all,
maleik.
PS : I have the log for you :*
The log link
I found this in the log file which you have attached. Try cleaning the registry with CC cleaner and give it a try. If it still doesn't work, try installing python with web installer Python Web Installed 3.6.5.

I installed python from Microsoft store after facing this problem and it magically got installed without any error as it may have directly been installed. I don't know but try if it eorks for you too.
You need to run the installation as a local administrator.
I had the same problem installing Python version 3.9 for the first time on my Windows 10, as this same problem happens to many users trying to install Python, the best solution I accidentally, just like #MANAN AGGARWAL discovered trying to check if I already had a version of Python installed on my computer by the DOS Command Prompt, was:
Open the DOS Command Prompt (cmd) and dictate "python": if a screen shows you a version, it's clearly not the first time you've installed Python, so if you want to upgrade you should try: https: / /www.delftstack.com/en/howto/python/how-to-update-python/ But if you've never installed any version of Python, the solution lies in updating your operating system to the latest version through Windows Update, and open the command prompt and type Python, or go directly to the Microsoft Store and search for Python followed by its latest version. It works without error.
** If by chance it does not automatically install on your PC after downloading, click "install on my devices" and select your computer name.
Why can't I install Python directly from the website file? Please note that when trying to install any software/applications from outside Microsoft's trusted locations, there are high chances of user settings interfering with the installation. When coming, for example, from the Microsoft Store, a chance of success is much greater, even without having problems related to User Permission Settings.
Another important thing to point out here is that installing a lot of software from outside Microsoft's trusted platforms can cause you to change some user permissions which can have positive effects with some software and negative effects with others, even with security your own system if you don't know what you're doing.
it's simple , Try Lower Version Like 'Python 3.6' but Download web install.
install it , then install last python version.
your python will update.
I've faced same/similar problem with installing Python 3.9.12 in a clean Windows 8.1 64-bit (VirtualBoxed test environment).
I thought the issue could have been fixed in a newer version of Python, but the freshest 3.10.10 fails with same issue.
The original log isn't available any longer, but luckily it is quoted in another answer, and the following line reveals the real problem:
Applied execute package: core_AllUsers, result: 0x80070643, restart: None
My log looks the same, and if you scroll the log up, you'll discover that core_AllUsers is a UCRT MSI-installer, which is downloaded from Python site (for 3.10.10 64-bit the link may look like https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.10/amd64/ucrt.msi).
If you download it manually (Python installer is smart enough to do a cleanup even if it fails, so you won't find this MSI in a local cache) and run, it will probably crash. And if it is your case, I have a simple solution - just install update KB2999226 (Update for Universal C Runtime) for your OS, which you can download from Microsoft.
I also faced the similar issue. What the trick worked for me is I installed it for the individual user (as earlier installation was for the all users).
So earlier if one has installed it for the all users then install it for the specific user and vice versa.
I know this is not the resolution of the error faced. However, this approach will install Python which is the main motive to achieve.
I encountered the same issue after installing a fresh Windows 8.1 on my PC.
I solved that by using the Python v3.9 web installation file which you can find here.
However, you can choose any other version that has a web installation file
Note: You need internet connection to use this method.
I'm a complete beginner in Python programming. I have trouble installing/importing the module 'requests' on python. When I use my command terminal to install requests, I get a message that requests is already installed. However, when I try to import requests into the file I'm working on, python tells me there is no such module installed.
Sorry to bother you with this silly and probably easy question, thanks in advance!
If you use PyCharm (which is a great choice in my opinion), go to the tab Run and select Edit Configuration and in the window that just opened make sure the your Python interpreter is the one you used when you pip installed the package you asked about.
You can check your Python version or just see in PyCharm if the requests is actually installed by going to the tab File, select Settings, click on Project: name_of_your_project and finally check in Project Interpreter that the package is installed.
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.
I'm trying to get node.js running on Windows 7. I have no experience with Linux so I've just been blindly following instructions from tutorials I've found, but I'm still unable to build node.js.
What I did:
Install Cygwin - the entirety
Attempt to build node.js
This is the error I first got:
I then followed the commands of two other similar sites and they all resulted in this error (could getting several version of node have caused me more problems? I'm completely clueless on this).
I read somewhere that the Windows version of Python could be causing the problem so I uninstalled my Python 2.7 and added C:\cygwin\bin to the PATH.
That still didn't work and I read somewhere else that I'm supposed to rebaseall so I tried that, but I also got an error for that:
That's where I'm at now. Have any steps I've taken exacerbated the situation?
Add -e '/\/sys-root\/mingw\/bin/d' at line 110 in /bin/rebaseall file.
Then re-run rebaseall -v and you shouldn't get the error anymore.
See this pretty helpful blog posting - Node on CygWin doesn't work for Node v0.2.5. Use the latest v0.4.0 version instead.
Also consider the post's recommendation of compiling against MinGW instead of in CygWin.
First of all, why did you check out such an old release v0.2.5? When I did it a few weeks ago I just took the latest and ended up with 0.5.0pre, but it would also be reasonable to specify v0.4.3. For instance, type git clone git://github.com/joyent/node.git to download node, and then:
cd node
./configure
make install
Secondly, do not rebase by running ash from the CYGWIN shell. Instead, shutdown all Cygwin processes, then use Windows explorer to open the ash.exe binary. Since I have a Windows 7 system without node.js, I decided to follow my instructions and build. Not so easy. I ran into some wierd dll issues that all went away when I ran ./rebaseall followed by ./perlrebase from the ash prompt. It seems that rebaseall is not sufficient anymore.
Thirdly, there is a message that makes it sound like you don't have a C compiler. Some googling will lead you to sites telling which Cygwin packages you need, but at minimum install the g++ compiler and that should pull in C as a dependency.
When I did this I simply ran configure and every time there was an error, installed one more Cygwin package to supply the missing piece. Even OpenSSL is available.
What I just found is remove the windows based install of Python. After uninstalling this, everything is peachy.
I like cygwin a lot -- but recent releases have become pretty unreliable. Some packages just wont build, and some "standard" apps dont work e.g. gvim's "save as" bombs out on my installation.
A possible solution would be run one of the better Linux distributions (ubuntu, fedora, suse etc.) either as a virtual machine or a dual boot setup and do the build inside linux.
