After installing miniconda with python 3.7 I do the following:
conda create --name opencv_test python=3.7
conda activate opencv_test
conda install -c anaconda opencv
Then to test the environement I do:
python
>>> import cv2
>>> exit()
Everything goes according to plan
Then if I launch PyCharm or vs code, set my new environment as the interpreter and create a simple file that contains only
import cv2
On launch I get:
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
What I learned from the internets:
This, this and this, all those posts refer to a problem that seems similar, the difference being that the issue for me only happens when using IDEs
What I tried before posting here:
Recreating the environment multiple times switching channels.
As it seemed to be a path issue, I added the paths which contained opencv dll to the environment paths in PyCharm settings one at a time
What I just tried after spending a considerable amount of time creating this post:
conda update conda
This weirdly downgrades python to 3.6
conda create --name opencv_test_2 python=3.6
conda activate opencv_test_2
conda install -c anaconda opencv
This seems to fix all the issues but:
I don't know what just happened and why the issue only appeared on IDEs
I'd like to use python 3.7
So in short, why when using python 3.7 and PyCharm I seem to be unable to import opencv even if it works on command line?
Thanks in advance.
I am working on widows10 with python3.7
I have downloaded opencv and numpy and sklearn(scikit-learn) and they are in C:\Python37\Lib\site-packages (where pip put them) and when I run
import sys
print(sys.path)
I get the output:
['', 'C:\\Python35\\Lib', 'C:\\Python35\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python35\\Lib\\site-packages', 'C:\\Users\\E6440', 'C:\\Python37\\python37.zip', 'C:\\Python37\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python37\\lib', 'C:\\Python37', 'C:\\Python37\\lib\\site-packages']
on cmd it says C:\Python37\Lib\site-packages which is one of the paths it looks in for when importing but then as soon as I run some code it gives a no module named ___ error
this is similar to the question python cant find module in sys.path but the comments in that one did not help me
edit
solved by using PYTHONPATH that was accurate to the python version
The package you're trying to import the module from may be available in the Python 3.5 installation too, but the package for Python 3.5 may be missing the module you're trying to import. Try moving the Python 3.7 paths ahead of the Python 3.5 paths in your PYTHONPATH environment variable.
I could use (troubleshooting)help with getting Kivy imported in PyCharm. I am using:
Anaconda with Python 3 on 64-bit Windows 10 Pro
PyCharm 2017.1
Packages: NumPy, SciPy, BeautifulSoup, Pandas, Scrapy, Pattern, NetworkX, NLTK, scikit-learn, Selenium
I have installed Kivy following the instructions at https://kivy.org/docs/installation/installation-windows.html#installation
As evident from the screen shot, no errors occurred.
Still, when I run "import kivy" from PyCharm I get "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kivy'".
I ran through the installation with someone on the #kivy channel and was assured that kivy is successfully installed.
When I pass import kivy; print(kivy.file) to the interpreter (opened from the CMD command line), I get returned among others:
C:\Users\Steve\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\kivy\__init__.py
Someone on #kivy suggested I check where PyCharm looks for kivy. How do I figure that out?
I'd appreciate any suggestions to identify the problem / resolve my issue.
Indeed, the installation of Kivy went fine. The problem turned out to be that I had to select the correct (updated) interpreter in the PyCharm settings.
Happy October everyone,
I've successfully downloaded modules before using either the pycharm installer or pip through the command screen, but for some reason when installing matplotlib pycharm cannot recognize it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've installed through both methods, I've followed past similar questions asked on this site which make sure that you have the same interpreter and that it was installed in the right folder (pycharm error while importing, even though it works in the terminal).
So, here's the whole problem. Here's is the simple code, submitted into both pycharm and IDLE:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3],[2,1,3])
plt.show()
When submitted into IDLE, my plot appears. When submitted into pycharm, the following error appears:
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/PythonProject/matplotlib.py", line 1, in <module>
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
File "C:\PythonProject\matplotlib.py", line 1, in <module>
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
ImportError: No module named 'matplotlib.pyplot'; 'matplotlib' is not a package
I am currently running Python 3.4, PyCharm 2016.2.3, and my matplotlib folders are indeed in my site-packages folder inside my Python34 folder. Also for further verification:
PyCharm installation
Please help I've become frustrated since this is the only module I've run into trouble with. I've scoured StackOverflow and related websites to help, I've made sure I have all the requirements, etc.
I guess if you named your current writing python module as matplotlib.py.That cause the python load your current writing module instead of the actual matplotlib.py, which triggers an error.
I recommend you to use virtualenv. Is not strictly necessary but is good for dividing your project environments.
This is how I tested matplotlib on my Windows 10 installation, hope it helps.
Be sure that you have the python 3 installation folder listed in your Windows PATH environment variable, should be already listed if you checked "Add Python 3.5 to PATH":
You need also to set the Scripts folder in your PATH environment variable usually should be this path:
C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\Scripts
If you don't do that you have to prepend python -m to every command below like this: python -m <command>, so the command below would be python -m pip install virtualenv. I prefer the first solution.
To test matplotlib on Pycharm I've used virtualenv, here is how; first install virtualenv:
pip install virtualenv
Then you create your virtual environment in a folder of your choice, in my case I used python_3_env_00:
virtualenv python_3_env_00
After that you can activate you python 3 virtual environment:
python_3_env_00/Scripts/activate.bat
Now you should see in your command line the active virtual environment (python_3_venv_00), like this:
Now you can install matplotlib:
pip install matplotlib
Fire up PyCharm and add your virtual environment as you project interpreter, go to File->Settings search for Project Interpreter click on the gear icon and Add Local and set the path of your virtual environment, should look like something like this:
Test it:
import sys
print(sys.path)
run this code in where the import worked, and run it in the Pycharm project. Compare the lists. Find out which path that is not present in Pycharm sys.path.
Before importing pyplot, append the missing path to sys.path.
import sys
sys.path.append("the path")
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Does this work?
Please follow below steps if you are still getting an error:
If you are using PyCharm, it automatically create virtualenv.
Ensure Scripts path is set into PATH
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32
Then open PyCharm and go to File-> settings. Search for Project Interpreter. You will see window like this
sample image
Click on setting icon -> Existing Environment -> click on ... give below path
C:\Users\Krunal\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python.exe
Click on Apply -> ok and you are good to go.
After installing matplotlib When I was trying to use matplotlib.pyplot it was giving error module not found.
I browsed some white papers and found out that we also need to install scipy library to use the matplotlib so I used the below in my command prompt
python -mpip install scipy
Restarted my kernel session.
It worked!!!
I was also facing issue while importing matplotlib but it got resolved and now I am able to use it from pycharm as well.
Please make sure you should have visual c++ 14 installed in your system.
2.If you have more than two python version installed on your system then please install matplotlib from both the version.
Eg. pip install matplotlib
pip3 install matplotlib
If matplotlib is working from python idle then please check whether you are using correct interpreter in pycharm or not and try to choose pythonw.exe path from your installed location.
Hope this will help, Please do let me know if you are still facing issue.
I had similar issue but I solved it very easily on pycharm 2019.3.2. In case anyone looking for an easier solution:
I just opened the terminal window on pycharm and typed pip install matplotlib and it was all good to go. Every project has its own virtual environment. Opening terminal window of IDE cds to project directory by default. So the installing command was enough.
I just tried to use pd.HDFStore in IPython Notebook with a Python 3 kernel (Anaconda 2&3 on Ubuntu 14.04)
import pandas as pd
store = pd.HDFStore('/home/Jian/Downloads/test.h5')
but it throws the following error
ImportError: HDFStore requires PyTables, "libhdf5.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" problem importing
I initially thought it's because pytables is somehow missing, but when I check $source activate py34 and $conda list, pytables 3.2.0 is already installed under anaconda python3 environment.
Also, if I switch to Python 2, for example, $source activate py27 and start ipython notebook, it works properly and no import error is thrown.
I guess that I must miss something for configuring pytables under anaconda python 3 env, but I cannot figure it out. Any help is highly appreciated.
Update:
I just tried on a fresh install of Anaconda3-2.3.0-Linux-x86_64 from official website and it ends up with the same error. When I try $locate libhdf5.so.9 in command line, nothing shows up.
This is a known issue that we are working on. When it is fixed, conda update --all will update the libraries and fix the issue.
