I realize there are other threads already, but none of the solutions are working for me. This is my error when trying to use the protoc command: Protoc.
I'm using Windows10 and a virtual environment in PyCharm using python 3.8 and pip is updated using the console command.
I installed protobuf with pip and then I've manually downloaded protoc following the installation guide on https://grpc.io/docs/protoc-installation/.
I have tried both adding the path to the protoc.exe file in my venv path variables and copying it to Tensorflow/models/research, but neither yields a positive result.
I've tried both protoc-21.1-win64.zip and protobuf-python-4.21.1.zip. I added the path to the protoc.exe folder when using the win64 version but I'm not sure which folder contains the file for the python version, although I see most people recommend to use the windows version anyways.
Through my PyCharm terminal in my C:\Users\Name\PycharmProjects\Project_Name I'm attempting to run
protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.
I have tried to run it from C:\Users\Name\PycharmProjects\Project_Name\venv as well if that should make a difference.
These are the most prominent threads I've attempted solutions from:
Cannot find `protoc` command
protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto: No such file or directory
Make sure you add the Protoc compiler to the path instead of adding it in PyCharm as that usually brings problems.

This is the problem right here, do you have any advice for that?
installed pip and pyinstaller, but still got this error message when I tried to convert my project into an .exe.
From Pyinstaller installation guide:
If you cannot use the pyinstaller command due to the scripts directory not being in PATH, you can instead invoke the PyInstaller module, by running python -m PyInstaller (pay attention to the module name, which is case sensitive). This form of invocation is also useful when you have PyInstaller installed in multiple python environments, and you cannot be sure from which installation the pyinstaller command will be ran.
So you may run it as e.g.:
python -m PyInstaller some_system.py
Or, as the issue seems that PATH Windows environment variable doesn't include Python's Script folder, it'd better to fix it. From the same guide:
If the command is not found, make sure the execution path includes the proper directory:
Windows: C:\PythonXY\Scripts where XY stands for the major and minor Python version number, for example C:\Python38\Scripts for Python 3.8)
To fix you may run where python to get exact location of Python on your machine (let's say it shows C:\Python38\). Then add to PATH env variable Scripts folder inside it (in this example it'd be C:\Python38\Scripts\)

python3 env is not used when I update my Mac to the latest version. How can I solve it?
This worked for me with the same issue.
Check if you have multiple Python3.x versions installed. In my case I had Python3.6 and Python3.9 installed. brew uninstall python3 did not remove Python3.6 completely.
I was able to call Python3.9 from Terminal by explicitly running python3.9 instead of python3, which led me to believe the issue was caused by ambiguity in which Python3.x resource was to be used.
Manually deleted /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6 resulted in Python3 running as expected.
hint:
It may be sufficient to remove /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6 from your PATH environment variable.
Check in the location:
/usr/bin/python3
If you can invoke python3 interpreter from this location without any issues, copy this to
/usr/local/bin/python3
I upgraded to macOS Big Sur and had faced the same issue. I was not able to open Python interpreter from terminal and the Python version inside Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6 was also being pointed to Python2.7.
Later, I found python3 in location /usr/bin/python3 working fine for me. I also tried creating a symlink for python3 to the above path but didn't work.
That's becuase you have installed both python 3.6 from system library & python3.9 from other source like brew and there are something wrong with the python in lower version. Please manually delete the python within /Library/Frameworks. sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6 this command works for me.
I encountered this same problem on Step 1 of PyCharm's Create a Django project documentation.
I had previously set up Python on my Mac following these instructions. Can't promise this solution will work for everyone, but maybe if someone's Python was set up similar to mine the following solution that worked for me might help you...
Open Terminal
which python3
Copy the directory given to you... (For me it was /Users/foo/.pyenv/bar/python3)
When creating your new Django project in PyCharm (Professional Edition), set your base directory to the one received from which python3
Create your project
My case
Deleted Xcode (Maybe some folders are accidentally deleted like /Library/Frameworks/...
Also installed Python with anaconda.
My solution
Reinstall Xcode
Followed this to remove anaconda then everything works fine
I use Pycharm to create and manage my virtualenvs in my projects.
The problem is that after adding a library with pycharm, when I type the command (pip3 freeze --user), the library does not appear in the command result.
I have to manually type the pip install command each time so that the library is visible.
What manipulation should I do in PyCharm to solve this problem?
For what you are saying, the first thing that comes to mind is that you should use:
pip freeze
And not
pip3 freeze
Because the command mapped to the pip version when you have virtualenv activated is the first. Note that for installing you seem to use pip, and not pip3
Moreover, the --user option afaik is related to the packages installed in the user folder:
--user Install to the Python user install directory for your platform. Typically
~/.local/, or %APPDATA%\Python on
Windows. (See the Python documentation for site.USER_BASE for full details.)
If your packages are installed in the virtualenv folder, I would tell you to not use that option.
Also please make sure you have your virtualenv activated. In linux you can do so by source path/to/virtualenv/activate
Edit
I understand that the reason you are using pip3 is because you may have different versions of Python in your machine. Let me explain you a bit further how it works, because version management is usually a headache for many programmers and it is common to find problems when doing so.
If you install different versions of Python in your linux machine, and you do that as root, then the installation will proceed for the whole system. Usually Python2 installation folder for Linux machines is /usr/bin/python. However, I am uncertain of which directory is used for Python3 installations. You can check that easily by doing whereis python3. You can serach the path to binary of any command by doing whereis command. Note that this works also for whereis python as far as you don't have virtualenv activated.
Aditionally, the link to the binary of a command (or the set of instructions to be exectued, more broadly) is defined in certain folders in Linux, depending on whether you created the command as root or as a user, and possibly also on the distro. This works differently in Windows, that uses the Registry Edit utility to handle command mappings. When you enable your virtualenv, what you are doing is creating an environment that enables mapping system commands such as python to the Python installation in your virtualenv folder.
When you disable the virtualenv, the command points again to the default installation path. Same happens with pip, so incorrect usage of this tool may result in different packages being installed in different locations, and therefore not appearing available for the right Python version at any given circumstance.
In Linux, environment variables are shell dependent, though you can write them out with echo $variable and set them with variable=value (from bash). The search path is simply called PATH and you can get yours by typing echo $PATH.

I encourage you to check other questions in SE network such as this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/42211/96121, to learn more about this.
Addendum
Quick tip: it is common to use the pip freeze command as follows:
pip freeze > requirements.txt
It is a standard that leads to understanding that modules in such file are required for the correct functioning of your application. That lets you easily exclude the virtualenv folder when you install the program in another computer, since you can readily know the requriments for a fresh installation. However, you can use the command as you want.
I want pylint to use python3 for linting in Visual Studio code on Mac (which has both python 2.7 standard and python 3.6).
I've tried changing the path to the python interpreter as per How can I debug Python3 code in Visual Studio Code, to no avail. I keep getting python2 errors instead of python3 errors.
See example code for the problem.
Is there a way I can get pylint to recognize python3 errors?
Pick a xx.py in Visual Studio Coce(VSC)
In Status Bar Tap Python 2.7.10 like the [img1]
Choose python 3.x like [img2]
Command+Q quit VSC, then open VSC again
I finally got it working by installing python3 pylint from the console.
sudo python3 -m pip install -U pylint
The simple solution is to just change the first line of the file /home/user_name/.local/bin/pylint from #!/usr/bin/python2 to #!/usr/bin/python3
If you want more, you can rename this file to pylint2 and have a copy pylint3 where you change the first line to #!/usr/bin/python3.
Now to use pylint3 from command line you just need to type pylint3 instead of pylint.. also change the directory of pylinter in vscode to /home/user_name/.local/bin/pylint3
explanation
Ok this might be very late and the answer might not be the optimum, but I had the same issue.
By default the path to pylint is /home/user_name/.local/bin/pylint that is a simple python script working as the entry point to pylint.. even after installing pylint using pip3 this file is not changed and keeps directing to use python2 and therefore the packages installed by pip2 for python2.
So either have separate entry points for each pylint version, or modify this one manually to use the pylint package installed for python3.
I am using Python 3.5.2 version on Windows 7 and tried using python3 app.py. I am getting this error message:
'python3' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Is there any specific cause about why the python3 command is not working?
I also verified that the PATH is added to environment variables.
There is no python3.exe file, that is why it fails.
Try:
py
instead.
py is just a launcher for python.exe. If you have more than one python versions installed on your machine (2.x, 3.x) you can specify what version of python to launch by
py -2 or
py -3
You can also try this:
Go to the path where Python is installed in your system. For me it was something like C:\Users\\Local Settings\Application Data\Programs\Python\Python37
In this folder, you'll find a python executable. Just create a duplicate and rename it to python3. Works every time.
Python3.exe is not defined in windows
Specify the path for required version of python when you need to used it by creating virtual environment for your project
Python 3
virtualenv --python=C:\PATH_TO_PYTHON\python.exe environment
Python2
virtualenv --python=C:\PATH_TO_PYTHON\python.exe environment
then activate the environment using
.\environment\Scripts\activate.ps1
Yes, I think for Windows users you need to change all the python3 calls to python to solve your original error. This change will run the Python version set in your current environment. If you need to keep this call as it is (aka python3) because you are working in cross-platform or for any other reason, then a work around is to create a soft link. To create it, go to the folder that contains the Python executable and create the link. For example, this worked in my case in Windows 10 using mklink:
cd C:\Python3
mklink python3.exe python.exe
Use a (soft) symbolic link in Linux:
cd /usr/bin/python3
ln -s python.exe python3.exe
In my case I have a git hook on commit, specified by admin. So it was not very convenient for me to change the script (with python3 calls).
And the simplest workaround was just to copy python.exe to python3.exe.
Now I could launch both python and python3.
If python2 is not installed on your computer, you can try with just python instead of python3
For Python 27
virtualenv -p C:\Python27\python.exe django_concurrent_env
For Pyton36
virtualenv -p C:\Python36\python.exe django_concurrent_env
Enter the command to start up the server in that directory:
py -3.7 -m http.server
I had a related issue after installing windows 11, where python3 in cmd would open the windows store. I was able to sort it out between this post and this other one. In short, I reinstalled python and made sure to add it to PATH. Then, in settings, Apps > Apps & Features > App Execution aliases. Here, all I had to do was make sure that every single python .exe (including idle and pip) were turned off EXCEPT FOR the python3.exe alias. Now it works like a charm.
FWIW:
The root of this issue is not with you or with python. Apparently, Microsoft wanted to make installing python easier for young kiddos getting interested in coding, so they automatically add an executable to PATH. For those of us that already have this executable, it can cause these issues.
Found out instead press the play button the top right and it should work in visual studios:
Do not disable according to first answer
Saying python3 in the command will not work by default.
After figuring out the problem with the modules (Solution): https://youtu.be/paRXeLurjE4
Summary:
To import python modules in case of problem to import modules:
Hover over python in search:
Click open in folder
Hover over and right click
click properties
copy everything in path before \python.exe
close those windows
For cmd (administrator):
cd --path that was copied--
then python -m pip install --upgrade pip
cd Scripts
pip install "Name of Package" such as pip install --module (package) --
Im on win10 and have 3.7, 3.8 and 3.10 installed.
For me "python" launches version 3.10 and does not accept commands (like -3.7), "py" launches newest version but does accept commands, and "python3" does nothing.
Uninstalled 3.10 and "python" now does nothing, and "py" launches 3.8.
I am unable to add a comment, but the mlink option presented in this answer above https://stackoverflow.com/a/55229666/8441472 by #Stanislav preserves cross-platform shebangs at the top of scripts (#!/usr/bin/env python3) and launches the right python.
(Even if you install python from python.org, Windows will direct you to the app marketplace nowadays if you type python3 on the command line. If you type python on the same cli it will launch the python.org version repl. It leads to scripts that generate no output, but more likely silently failed completely. I don't know ho common this is but have experienced it on a couple of different devices)
If you have this at the top of your script to ensure you launch python3 and don't feel like editing everything you own, it is not a bad approach at all... lol.
