I have a simple sode snippet that uses cairomodule. I would like to launch the scipt but it somehow cannot run giving this error :
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\test.py", line 1, in <module>
import cairo
ImportError: No module named cairo
how should I "install" a module in Python on Windows ? I have tried installing http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/ as stated on cairo page that I can get cairo as a "side effect" of intalling GTK+ but somehow this didn't work.
If I should add some paths to PATH please indicate which one as I am raelly confused about this.
Now I realise how simpler that would be on linux with powerful terminal :)
Try installing PyGtk from here: http://www.pygtk.org/downloads.html. The all-in-one-installer worked for me. Just choose the packages you want installed.

My question is simple: can I install win32com python API (pywin32 notably) on an OS that is not Windows?
I have been trying, on Mac, multiple versions of pip install pywin32, all have failed. An example below:
If you managed to install it on Linux I am also interested as I wrote it.
I am using python 3.7.8.
Thanks.
Win32COM is part of [GitHub]: mhammond/pywin32 - pywin32. According to the (above) URL, the package is only designed to work on Win:
Python for Win32 (pywin32) extensions
So, this is Win specific (it was never intended for other OSes).
As for your question, technically you could install it on Linux, or OSX (it is possible with some manual steps), but that would make absolutely no difference, because (even if installed) it would NOT run on those platforms, as it contains (consists of) binaries (.dlls) that don't run (can't be loaded by processes) on non Win OSes.
Just looked at the comments: [MS.Docs]: Office.MessageCompose interface is available on OSX, but (most likely, if there isn't already a Python wrapper available) you'd have to write the bindings yourself (their examples are in JS).
Additional (generic) information
Some packages are only meant to work in specific conditions, based on restricting criteria like:
Platform(s) (OS, CPU architecture)
Python version(s)
...
even if not enforced by the installation mechanism (meaning they can somehow end up "installed" on platforms that they don't work on).
Anyway, such restrictions are (should be) mentioned (example for PyWin32 - see the red boxes) in package's:
PyPI page
Homepage
Other resources (e.g.: package's doc page, if it has one)
Bottom line is that such a package will not work outside the conditions it was meant to run in (even if it can be installed), and more: when attempting to run it, will yield some error message that might not be very clear.
There are packages with such restrictions, but can be installed outside them:

for my master thesis, I have to render some maps from OpenStreetMap information. Unfortunately, I'm not able to install mapnik.
In the manual (https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/wiki/WindowsInstallation) it said I should Add ";C:\mapnik-v2.2.0\lib" to the PATH variable. In my case it is "C:\Users\User\Mapnik\lib". I cloned the git repo and updated it to v3.0.23. Like it said here: https://mapnik.org/pages/downloads.html
But in this location, I don't have lib. Also, I don't have bin. So I'm a little bit confused about how to install mapnik.
I would really appreciate your help.
Some more Information: OS is windows 10, For Python, I'm using Anaconda with a 2.7 Instance just for mapnik... even if I read, that I could go with python 3. For the rest of my code, I go with Python 3.8. For sure I would prefer to stay at 3.8 but if it only works with 2.7 I would also use that.
Error message: "(Mapnik) C:\Users\User\Mapnik\demo\python>python rundemo.py

I have been messing around with Python/Panda3D and trying to get my first file to run. I am on OSX and after installing Panda3D I tried to run this file:
import direct.directbase.DirectStart
run()
That was followed by this on the Terminal output:
$ python core.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "core.py", line 2, in <module>
import direct.directbase.DirectStart
ImportError: No module named direct.directbase.DirectStart
I have been searching everywhere, but all the forms don't really solve the problem. Any help would be awesome!
Thanks!
This is usually a problem when you're using a version of Python other than the one Panda3D is compiled with. If you are using the 1.9.0 Lion build of Panda3D, make sure you are using the system-provided copy of Python 2.7, by explicitly running "python2.7" or "ppython" (which should be a symlink to the correct version of Python).
I'm running Python 2.7, with the latest version of GTK installed.
I'm trying to import gtk with the following line of code:
import gtk
It is throwing the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File
"C:\GTKTutorial\tutorial.py", line 3, in
import gtk File
"C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gtk-2.0\gtk__init__.py", line 40, in
from gtk import _gtk ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified
procedure could not be found.
How do I fix this? import pygtk is working, and I have Glade 3.8.0 installed.
Where did you get the PyGTK installer from? Try using this one: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/pygtk/2.22/pygtk-all-in-one-2.22.6.win32-py2.7.msi
I just spent 3 days debugging this issue on my computer. This problem can have many root causes because importing gtk actually causes a lot of DLLs being loaded. If any of them fails, you get the same error message. For me, the break-through was
http://www.dependencywalker.com/
which I used to profile the command
python -i -c "import gtk"
On my PC, a wrong version of zlib1.dll was in the system32 directory, which prevented the right one in gtk\bin from loading. And it did that even though the first entry in my path pointed to gtk\bin.
I deleted the zlib1.dll from system32 (the application that put it there deserves to die) and the import worked fine. Your problem may be different, but dependency walker probably can give you a hint on what is going wrong.
Windows can have other reasons for loading a DLL other than the one you put in your directory or path. I found the blog
http://www.davidlenihan.com/2007/07/winsxs.html
useful. It describes Microsoft's solution for managing many versions of DLLs, and how to troubleshoot problems with it.
I followed what they said at pyside.org but somehow i can't get it to work.
I downloaded the two files that they are linking from their site (qt libraries and pyside for python 2.6)
When I try one of their examples I get the following message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "2dpainting.py", line 28, in <module>
from PySide.QtCore import *
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I use python 2.6.4 and windows 7
You need to add the QT bin directory ("C:\Qt\4.6.3\bin") to your path environment variable.
The situation with Windows binaries significantly improved in 1.0.0 release. Try newer installers from downloads page.
There is a similar question on Installing PySide - Windows 8
You can simple use
pip install PySide
to install it.
