Hello I'm trying import a module import Image. I recieved this error <type 'exceptions.ImportError'> Cannot import module 'Image'
I looked for a solution and found this Install Python Module in local install of web2py
So "how can I drop modules in app/modules folder" so web2py will check there first when import something or if anyone knows a better solution then the provided solution please help.
If you are using the Windows or Mac web2py binary, they include their own Python interpreter, so they will not use your system's installed version of Python nor see any of its modules. If you have your own version of Python installed, you're better off running web2py from source, which is just as easy (just download and unzip -- run with the web2py.py file rather than web2py.exe or web2py.app).

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.

I have no idea why this is so frustrating, but I have literally pulled out a few clumps of hair in rage because this just refuses to work and I honestly do not have the slighest clue on what to do. I am trying to use the winshell module for a quick python programming I am using. I am new to python and just started trying it today. I have tried to install the library manually, and through pip. pip claims the module is downloaded, and I can see it in the lib folder. No matter what I do I get this error when I try to run my code:
import winshell
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'winshell'
what on earth must I do to get this to work I am at my wits end here and I feel like I'm going to break something
You have to install the library with:
pip install winshell
I just tested with pip3 install winshell and it worked.
Python interpreter search for modules in the set of directories that you can see with:
import sys
print(sys.path)
I recommend you take a look to see if the directory where you are seeing the library in lib is include in that list.
Might be useful to you read: The Module Search Path
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.
Since python is bundled with the Tide SDK, I can't figure out how to use access external modules. I've tried copying the module folder "Lib/site-packages/YourModuleHere" to the tide SDK directory, and this suggestion here: TIdeSDK Python module import but with no success. The module I'm trying to use is https://github.com/burnash/gspread
Any ideas?
Thanks...
You may try http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial
to convert your python code to exe with all needed modules then use Ti.Process.createProcess() to call your exe
In current version of TideSDK, loading custom python modules is not supported.It loads default set of Python modules compiled within the SDK.
I've had some luck installing a view external modules by running setup.py install from TideSDK's python.exe
This post helped:
Installing python modules in TideSDK
For Windows 7:
launch powershell
cd into the module folder
run:
C:\ProgramData\TideSDK\Modules\python\1.3.1-beta\python.exe setup.py install
It installs the module in \Lib\site-packages, as it should, and I'm able to use the import function in the python code.
This has worked for PIL and I'm trying to get it to function with pywin32. I'd love to hear if it works for other modules
I'm just starting out with Python, and have found out that I can import various libraries. How do I find out what libraries exist on my Mac that I can import? How do I find out what functions they include?
I seem to remember using some web server type thing to browse through local help files, but I may have imagined that!
From the Python REPL (the command-line interpreter / Read-Eval-Print-Loop), type help("modules") to see a list of all your available libs.
Then to see functions within a module, do help("posix"), for example. If you haven't imported the library yet, you have to put quotes around the library's name.
For the web server, you can run the pydoc module that is included in the python distribution as a script:
python /path/to/pydoc.py -p 1234
where 1234 is the port you want the server to run at. You can then visit http://localhost:1234/ and browse the documentation.
Every standard python distribution has these libraries, which cover most of what you will need in a project.
In case you need to find out if a library exists at runtime, you do it like this
try:
import ObscureModule
except ImportError:
print "you need to install ObscureModule"
sys.exit(1) # or something like that
You can install another library: yolk.
yolk is a python package manager and will show you everything you have added via pypi. But it will also show you site-packages added through whatever local package manager you run.
just run the Python interpeter and type the command
import "lib_name"
if it gives an error, you don't have the lib installed...else you are good to go
On Leopard, depending on the python package you're using and the version number, the modules can be found in /Library/Python:
/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages
or in /Library/Frameworks
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.6/site-packages
(it could also be 3.0 or whatever version)...
I guess it is quite the same with Tiger
Considering that in every operating system most of python's packages are installed using 'pip' (see pip documentation) you can also use the command 'pip freeze' on a terminal to print a list of all the packages you have installed through it.
Other tools like 'homebrew' for macOS (used when for some reason you can't install a package using pip) have similar commands, in this specific case 'brew list'.
