Newbie here, trying to import selenium. First time importing modules (outside of built-ins). My issue is whenever I pip3 install selenium it installs correctly to python 2.7.16 rather than 3.7.3. I found this out by running python3 in the terminal with no success importing selenium however just running the regular python can import selenium.
More info:
I'm on macOS Catalina 10.15.4
I tried python3 -m pip install selenium based on a stack overflow response. When doing this, I receive the following error: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/3.7'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions. Not sure what this means but explanation greatly appreciated
Running which python returns /usr/bin/python
Running which python3 returns /usr/bin/python3
In Finder, /Library/Python only has the folder "2.7", doesn't have a "3.7"
Let me know if there is anything else I can do or any more information you need from me. Thanks in advance!
After scouring the internet I managed to put 2 answers together for the issue I was having. If you have a similar issue, use the command python3 -m pip install --user (your module) and it works like a charm. For more information, visit this GitHub issue which is where I got most of my answers to see if you need something similar. Hope this helps someone!
Try searching how to change default python version to python3. I would recommend looking at this answer. The reason is that by default pip installs all packages to python2.7, the default system version. If you are using a virtualenv try initializing you virtualenv with python3 -m venv venv and then try pip install 'ModuleName'.

I'm currently on macOS Big Sur and recently updated pip from 19.2.3 to 20.3.3 but now there's the old wrapper script error.
I searched online for solutions and tried all of them but nothing worked.
So currently I have python 3.8.2 (I uninstalled my python 3.7.4)
and I added the python 3.8 to $PATH and now
echo $PATH displays /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin
but that does not help with anything
I also tried reinstalling but it didn't work either
Are there any other solutions I could try?
Is the problem because of pathing?
If this still persists, will it cause any error in the future (what kind of errors will it cause to my Mac/applications?)
Warning message: 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 20.3.3 from
/Users/syanreah/Library/Python/3.8/lib/python/site-packages/pip
(python 3.8)
It could be a path issue. Run type -a pip pip3 to find all of the pip locations. Then run each one to see if any of them do not give the "old script wrapper" warning. Example:
/usr/local/bin/pip --version
If you "bad" ones, rename them to pip.bak, so that the "good" one will be first in the path.

I would like to preface with the fact that I am a coding newbie and all this is very new to me. In fact, this is my first stack overflow question.
Anyways I am learning python and am trying to install my first third party module called “pyperclip” in Terminal, but I don't think it installed correctly. I am very new with Terminal as well.
For reference, I am following the youtube guide "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJLj6fWfw6k
I am on Lesson 8 and I am at minute 3:43 in the video if you want to follow along.
Here are some of my system details:
Mac OS X
Python version 3.8.3
I ran the following into Terminal:
sudo pip3 install pyperclip
Then I received the following message in Terminal after installing pyperclip
The directory or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo’s -H flag.
I then tried to install again using the following:
sudo -H pip3 install pyperclip
Then I got this message:
Requirement already satisfied: pyperclip in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages (1.8.0)
I tried installing one last time using:
pip3 install pyperclip
I got the same message again:
Requirement already satisfied: pyperclip in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages (1.8.0)
This is also the error I get when I try importing pyperclip in my interactive shell:
>>> import pyperclip
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “<stdin>”, line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pyperclip’
>>>
Can anyone help me please? I feel like a fish out of the water with all this stuff. Especially when it comes to Terminal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I wanted to discuss a few things that might help you on your way.
We typically do not use sudo in conjunction with pip to install Python packages. This installs the package at a system level and could conflict with packages that your system currently has installed or may install packages to a Python installation which is different than the one you are using from the terminal. Instead, we typically use pip install --user rather than sudo pip install.
See this question and answer for more: sudo pip install VS pip install --user.
If you are ever unsure whether a package has been installed properly, check using
pip3 list
We also need to make sure that the Python interpreter you are using is the same as where pip is installing. Since you are using pip3 to install, you should be using python3 at the terminal to enter the interactive shell. You can also verify that you are using the right Python interpreter by typing in the following command into the terminal:
which python3
Then, make sure that the output matches with the /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/ path that was reported by pip3.
If you are using a different interactive shell such as ipython, you need to make sure that you install ipython in the same manner using
pip3 install --user ipython
and executing it using
ipython3
Try repeating your steps using this new information to see if it helps. Let me know if you have any more questions or need some more help.
When trying to install requests or literally anything using pip it'll collect the option and then give me this ERROR every time. I can't use pip to install anything.
C:\Users\evand>pip3 install requests
Collecting requests

I have also tried the 'Repair' option using the Python Installer as well as uninstalling then reinstalling as a custom installation with 'Add to PATH' and the other options. That didn't fix the issue, so I deleted pip along with every module installed on my computer then reinstalled pip. Nada. At this point, I can no longer program with this computer because I cannot import any module in any of my scripts. I am not sure why this issue suddenly arose. Help would be very much appreciated.
This worked for me:
Uninstalling the pip configuration file in %appdata%/pip/ then 'modifying' python using the python launcher.
Question
I am not sure why when virtualenv active, pip freeze stills showing all modules when it suppose NOT to. What am I doing wrong?
On the terminal
I tried two ways to create a virtual env:
virtualenv my-virtualenv
virtualenv --no-site-packages my-virtualenv
then activate it
source my-virtualenv/bin/activate
Results
Both show all packages (when they suppose not to). Running command pip freeze I get:
(my-virtualenv)$ pip freeze

Running

/home/user/.../my-virtualenv/bin/python
(my-virtualenv)$ python -V
Python 2.7.12
and
(my-virtualenv)$ which python3
/usr/bin/python3
(my-virtualenv)$ python3 -V
Python 3.5.2
Hence, I even can use python3 when virtualenv is activated but it uses the pc installed module. Moreover, new installed packages are install in the pc and not the virtualenv and I can't install python3 in the vitualenv because it "exists" already (but in the pc).
I was having the same issue and it was because, somehow, Python configuration of ROS was generating it.
I solved it removing the source commands of ROS from the ~/.bashrc. E.g.:
source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash
source $HOME/ROS/aslam_ws/devel/setup.bash
By the way, I realised that, before changing anything, creating the environment from PyCharm works properly too (when in the terminal I still had the issue).
There must be a better solution but I haven't found it yet.
I am trying to run some code using ortools on a python environment. I did not have troubles on a windows machine but I am having problems on mac (10.12.6). if in my virtual environment I run
pip freeze
or
conda list
ortools appears in my list of installed packages. But if I try to use it
ipython
from ortools.linear_solver import pywrapplp
I get an error saying that there's no module named ortools. If I go to
mac/anaconda3/envs/nameenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages I do have a folder called ortools with some python files including pywrapplp. Do you know what I am doing wrong ?
EDIT
following request from coments:
import os
os.getcwd()
returns '/Users/imac'
which ipython
/anaconda3/bin/ipython
Installing ortools is a bit of a headache. It was some days ago, I think I finally made it with
easy_install ortools
I think it is a problem with the path. I guess because I did not install it with conda it does not find the package. I got around writting:
sys.path.append('/anaconda3/envs/env_name/lib/python3.6/site-packages/')
at the begining of my ipynb. That way I can run ortools.
You could have several python interpreter installed (python2 and python3)
So if you want to use it with ipython, which seems to be bind on python3 in your case.
First check if you have pypi package ortools installed
ipython -m pip show ortools
If you got an error it means the package is not installed.
so you can easily install it using:
ipython -m pip install --user ortools
note: We provide Pypi ortools package (64 bits) for Manylinux, Windows and MacOS.
You can also rebuild it from source https://developers.google.com/optimization/introduction/installing/source
