I recently installed Anaconda spyder 2020 version, resulting in Python 3.7.6 being installed.
I previously had ffn installed and working.
Now when I run code that tries to import ffn, it comes up with Module not found - No module named 'ffn'.
However, when I issue pip freeze at the console, I can see ffn == 0.3.3
Can anybody shed any light on why I have having problems importing ffn?
If you install anaconda it will automatically install its own version of python with a specific directory for site-packages so either you need to find and use your old python binary or install ffn again this time with the newly installed anaconda since just syncing the two site-packages directories won't work because minor releases of python (e.g 3.7 and 3.5 ) aren't necessarily compatible.

I am unable to get dateutil installed in my Python code.
from dateutil import tz
ImportError: No module named dateutil
I had date-util installed (Python version is 3.7.3)
> pip3 install python-dateutil
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple
Requirement already satisfied: python-dateutil in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (2.7.3)
I cannot uninstall them (to reinstall). I get the following error
> sudo pip3 uninstall python-dateutil
Not uninstalling python-dateutil at /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages, outside environment /usr
Can't uninstall 'python-dateutil'. No files were found to uninstall.
Then, I used the following command to uninstall:
> sudo apt-get remove python3-dateutil #This worked
> pip3 install python-dateutil
This works, but asks me to install cycler, kiwisolver, pyparsing, which I install using pip3. But I still cant get the python code working - has the same error (ImportError: No module named dateutil)
Any suggestions on what's going on?
I found a solution - The python code is being called from a bash script. It worked fine until recently. Recently I installed some other packages that installed python 2.x. So, the python scripts were using Python 2.x rather than 3.x. I had symbolic links to python 3.x, but that didn't help.
Now, I am explicitly use python3 mycode.py to overcome this issue.
I highly recommend to use conda environment instead of pip. See, there are several modules which do not give expected behaviour in pip (like pytorch).
Get the package installed using:
conda install -c conda-forge python-dateutil
returning the question, to get the package running it requires fulfillment of it's dependencies. If you are using python 3.7.3 its obvious that it may lack in some of the features of modern python 3.11 as a result you get the obvious error. The python package python-dateutil must have been configured according to the modern python language version.
Iam using python 3.11.1 and the package gets installed very perfectly. You may install old version of package or upgrade your python language version or use Conda as mentioned before.
I'm using Python 3.7 and I recently upgraded to Spyder 4.2.0 from Spyder 4.1.5. Now when I run my code (which was working fine before) I get the following error:
ImportError: Missing optional dependency 'xlrd'. Install xlrd >= 1.0.0 for Excel support Use pip or conda to install xlrd.
So apparently Spyder thinks 'xlrd' ('Excel Reader'?) is not installed. So I went to the Anaconda prompt and tried pip install xlrd, but it replied with
Requirement already satisfied: xlrd in c:\users\michael\anaconda3\lib\site-packages (2.0.1)
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling xlrd anyways, using pip, but it didn't change anything. How do I resolve this error?
Also, I'm not sure if this matters or not, but I originally installed Spyder via Anaconda, whereas now I just downloaded Spyder 4.2.0 by itself, through this link: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/releases.
Also, on the linked github page, it says: "If you are new to Python or the Scientific Python ecosystem, we strongly recommend you to install and use Anaconda. It comes with Spyder and all its dependencies, along with the most important Python scientific libraries (i.e. Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, IPython, etc) in a single, easy to use environment."
I had at first assumed this was meant for people downloading Python/Anaconda for the very first time, but now I'm thinking this applies to a semi newbie at Python such as me? As someone who is not very familiar with how packages and dependencies work, should I be downloading Anaconda every time I want to update Python or Spyder?
Apologies for the (probably) silly newbie question...
This sounds like you needed to re-start Spyder for it to pick up the package you installed.
However, as the author of xlrd, I would suggest you do the following:
Stop Spyder
conda install openpyxl
Start Spyder.
Change your pandas code to be pd.read_excel(..., engine='openpxyl')
I am confused about different python versions on my Computer and in Anaconda.
First: I use an iMac (OSX Catalina).I sometimes use the command line (Terminal on my iMac) directly and sometimes I use Anaconda Navigator (for example when I want to work with Jupyter Notebooks).
When I type python3 --version, I get the answer that I have python 3.8.0 installed. But recently, I installed the latest pip version with pip3 --user --upgrade pip. The answer I got was:
WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip.
Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue.
To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly.
pip 20.0.2 from /Users/Andrea_5K/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)
I wondered why in this message python 3.7 is referenced.
When I check my Library/Python folder in my user folder I see that I have a 3.7 folder and a 3.8 folder as well. Is there something wrong? Is pip 20.0.2 now installed on python 3.7 although I use python 3.8? And what does the WARNING message mean?
Trying to import python module fake_useragent
Command prompt stating that it has already been installed.
Anybody knows how come I still cannot import the fake_useragent module in python even though I have already installed it?
Thank you very much, I have solved the problem. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the module but it still did not work. I tried to use Jupyter Notebook as well as Pycharm to import the module but I could not. Eventually, I tried to import the module using IDLE, which is the default IDE which comes with downloading and installing Python from python.org and I was successful. Therefore, I suspected that I had accidentally installed two versions of Python on my computer. The problem is that I have already installed Python 3 inside my computer. However, on top of that, I have also installed the Anaconda package, which also installs its own version of Python 3. However, when I use pip to install the fake-useragent module, I am installing it for the original python version. Therefore, when I use Jupyter notebook which is part of the Anaconda package, I could not input the module. I could not import it for Pycharm as well since I used the Anaconda interpreter as Pycharm's default interpreter. After I have uninstalled Anaconda and changed the default interpreter for Pycharm under settings back to the original version of Python which I have installed, I'm able to import the fake-useragent in python.
I need to install qscintilla. I use pip for that:
> pip install qscintilla
PyQt5 automatically upgrades to the latest version '5.8.2', and sip upgrades to '4.19.2'. I suppose this has to do with the needs of qscintilla. Perhaps the latest version of qscintilla needs the latest PyQt version to operate properly.
Unfortunately, PyQt5-5.8.2 combined with sip-4.19.2 don't work on Windows 10. I get the following error:
> python
>>> import PyQt5.QtWidgets
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I have checked my PATH variable in Windows 10, and I found the following directory: C:\Anaconda3\Library\bin. I've checked that folder, and the dll's are all present: Qt5Widgets.dll, 'Qt5Gui.dll`, ... So I can hardly believe that Python cannot find them.
I will now go through the things I've tried so far.
1. Clean install of Anaconda => upgrade PyQt5.
I've removed Python completely from my PC, and installed Anaconda from scratch: Python 3.6 for Windows 64-bit.
Anaconda is shipped with an older version of PyQt5. I check the version like this:
> python
>>> from PyQt5.QtCore import QT_VERSION_STR
>>> from PyQt5.Qt import PYQT_VERSION_STR
>>> from sip import SIP_VERSION_STR
>>>
>>> QT_VERSION_STR
>>> '5.6.2'
>>> PYQT_VERSION_STR
>>> '5.6'
>>> SIP_VERSION_STR
>>> '4.18'
I simply upgrade my PyQt version, because I know that the qscintilla installation would do that anyway. If the problem is present after upgrading PyQt (and before installing qscintilla), I can rule out possible problems caused by the qscintilla installation. So here we go:
> pip install pyqt5 --upgrade
Collecting pyqt5
...
Successfully installed pyqt5-5.8.2 sip-4.19.2
As I expected, the upgraded version of pyqt results in the error:
> python
>>> import PyQt5.QtWidgets
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
2. Install PyQt5-5.7.1 instead of PyQt5-5.8.2.
I've found a wheel file from PyQt5-5.7.1 on this page: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyQt5/5.7.1
I hope that qscintilla will work on this one too. After all, it is a quite recent version. But first, I want to find out if I get it installed properly, and if the error above has gone.
> pip uninstall PyQt5
> pip uninstall sip
>
> pip install C:\..\Downloads\PyQt5-5.7.1-5.7.1-cp34.cp35.cp36-none-win_amd64.whl --no-cache-dir
...
Successfully installed pyqt5-5.7.1 sip-4.19.2
Unfortunately, the error persists.
3. Answers from StackOverflow.
I've checked several posts on StackOverflow, but none of them helped me out.
This post is too old: PyQt5 : The DLL load failed : the specified module could not be found
This post gives a possible reason: "Probably it's because pyqt .pyd files are linked against python3.dll, and not python3.6 dll." DLL load failed when importing PyQt5 . The answer suggests that I should use an older version of PyQt5. I've tried that (see above), but it still fails. The answer also suggests to build PyQt5 from the source code. I've tried that as well, but the build process gets stuck..
Can anyone help me? Perhaps you have successfully built the latest PyQt5-5.8.2 version from source code into a wheel file? I would be so happy if you share that file.
The root issue for me was different versions of PyQt wheel (5.9) and pyqt windows distro (5.6 - the last precompiled version available).
I found matching 5.6 wheel, but it only supported Python 3.5.
So, I downgraded Python to 3.5 and installed PyQt5-5.6-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl
pip install pyqt5==5.6
works equally well.
I found a workaround: don't use Anaconda. I deleted Anaconda from my PC and did a fresh install like this:
1. Install Python 64-bit
Download the 64-bit installer for Windows from this URL: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-361/
Make sure to include pip when asked for the installation options!
2. Install PyQt5
Install PyQt5 by typing the following in your Windows command terminal:
> pip install PyQt5 --no-cache-dir
...
Successfully installed PyQt5-5.8.2 sip-4.19.2
The --no-cache-dir option makes sure that pip will not use an old version stored somewhere on your computer, but download the latest one instead.
3. Install QScintilla
Install QScintilla like this:
> pip install qscintilla --no-cache-dir
Successfully installed qscintilla-2.10
It does work on windows 10. Your application failed to access specified DLL. A restart is required to get it working. I went through all the answers in the SO forums and it turns out a computer restart can set everything straight. so restart your pc.
