im fairly new to programming in Python and i've been using the terminal to run my code with no problem. Usually by typing python {filename} to run it.
However, recently i got this error:
ImportError: Python is not installed as a framework. The Mac OS X backend will not be able to function correctly if Python is not installed as a framework. See the Python documentation for more information on installing Python as a framework on Mac OS X. Please either reinstall Python as a framework, or try one of the other backends. If you are using (Ana)Conda please install python.app and replace the use of 'python' with 'pythonw'. See 'Working with Matplotlib on OSX' in the Matplotlib FAQ for more information.
then i changed the python {filename} to pythonw {filename} and the code worked. Could someone give me some insight into this error and why it worked by just adding w?
pythonw - run python script allowing GUI. According to the man page for pythonw.

Using Pycharm on Linux mint.
I installed the "future" package for the python interpreter which I'm using. Heres the script.
from tkinter import *
top = Tk()
top.mainloop()
Didn't work. It returns "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'". Tkinter is infact installed. "python3 -m tkinter" confirms it. And when I compile the same code in the terminal, it displays.
As Bryan says, you're probably not using the Python version you think you're using. PyCharm tends to install its own version of Python. Once you have more than one version of Python installed, things get trickier.
To see what's happening, try running this script:
import sys
print(sys.executable, sys.version)
Or run those similar commands from the command line. That should help clarify matters.
The sys.executable will show you the full path to your Python executable. Great for seeing where the used Python installation is located.
I don't use Python on Linux, but perhaps one of your Python installations is version 2, in which case you would need to use:
from Tkinter import *
which is another way to confirm that the Python is version 2 rather than 3. If this is the case, you'll want to move to Python 3. I don't think anyone writes new projects in Python 2 anymore. It's defunct, purely legacy.
It's also possible that Python is installed on Linux without Tkinter. There are other posts on how to install Tkinter on Linux. For instance, you can check out ImportError: No module named 'Tkinter'
Thanks guys for the help I really appreciate it. But I found out the problem was because of Linux Mint's Software Manager. I initially downloaded pycharm using said software manager but it didnt work which is why I created the post. Then I deleted it, and downloaded pycharm through the tar.gz file from the jetbrains website. After doing that, it seems to work.
I have installed the latest version of IBM SPSS Statistics(Version 26) which has pre installed python 3.4 and 2.7. i am trying to use version 3.4 python. i am able to import modules like pip , sys , os etc. i tried pandas the same way. i am unable to do so. getting error no module found. Hence going through our forum and IBM support did the following changes.
received the following error
1) tried pointing the site-packages via
import sys
# Assuming windows and standard python folder here.
sys.path.append(r"D:\Python34\Lib\site-packages")
2) changed the path in the settings of SPSS
3) Tried installing pip in the below folder as suggested in the forum but got message i have already installed the updated version.
C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\Subscription\Python3
4) following versions of python were installed
have tried what i could. Need your expertise help to fix the same which will help me to install/use modules needed for SPSS. Thanks.
This is going to be painful to explain, I'll do my best.
As far as I can tell, you're on windows. Usually when we need a new package, we just open cmd and type pip install xxx (assume you added python to path when installing it). The reason that this works, is because when you type pip install xxx in cmd, windows recognize pip to be a command because python path is in system variables. Windows know that I can execute pip install with this python path.
However for SPSS python (3.4), that python had a different path in the system. Thus when you only have the 3.7 or 3.8 python in path, windows cannot install package to you 3.4 python, and I'm not sure if you can have more than one python path in system.
In order to fix this, you need to first figure out what's the path to your 3.4 python, then in this page you can follow the instruction to remove your 3.7 or 3.8 python in path, and add your 3.4 path, then you can do pip install xxxx for whatever package you want
I did the same thing with a arcgis python distribution, hope this works for you. If the attached page does not work, just google add python path to windows and look for a instruction that works on you PC
Oh and the reason that you can import pip, sys and some other package but not pandas, is because python is 'battery included', it comes with tons of packages pre-installed for additional functionality, but pandas is not one of them.
Fixed it since my ananconda had version 3.7 .i created virtual environment and installed 2.7 python with anaconda package. Pointed SPSS to the 2.7 folder and was able to import pandas.
Having several exe's of Python, I would like to specify the command (py or python) to launch a certain version from the command line.
At the moment, I have different versions of Python (2.7, 3.6, 3.7 Anaconda) installed on my Windows machines (7 at work, 10 at home). Unfortunately, the commands in the cmd-prompt are not the same.
The output of the following cmd commands is as follows:
py -> 3.7.1 of Anaconda (work) and 3.7.0 (home)
python -> 2.7.13 (work) and 3.6.2 (home)
pyton2 -> not recognized (work) and 2.7.15 (home)
How can I order the variables, so the same commands call the same version of python? Researching about the path variable I could not find how to define the command that launches a specific python.exe.
I really appreciate your help or a pointing in the right direction.
Kind regards,
Seb
Good Morning,
my apologies, yesterday I did not find this thread here:
In CMD "python" starts Python 3.3, "py" starts Python 2.7, how do I change this?
From now on I will go with "py -X.Y" to start the version of Python I want.
Kind regards,
Seb
I am using Python 27 in windows and I needed to install some modules in it so using pip I installed matplotlib which worked fine but then when I tried installing graphics,it didn't work. I also googled where I found that Graphics can be installed for 3x version. I am using 2x version because I wanted to use Vpython as well which doesn't work for 3x version (atleast I found it is very difficult to use with Python 34). Then I tried using both the Python 27 and 34 and then tried installing modules in Python 34 but since matplotlib is already installed before,I am unable to install for Python 34.Also there is not module in Python 34. I just started using Python and I am having all these problems. Please anyone who could help me with it?
You could try this:
pip install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jminz/graphics.py/master/graphics-py_installer.tar.gz
This command from official readme: https://github.com/jminz/graphics.py
I don't know what is meant by "Graphics", but as far as VPython is concerned, see the detailed instructions at vpython.org. The old Classic VPython did not work with Python 3. The new VPython 7 works in a Jupyter notebook with any version of Python and outside a Jupyter notebook (for example, using IDLE or Spyder) with Python 3.5.3 or greater.
Also, for VPython questions it's better to post to the VPython forum, where there are many more VPython users who will see your question than if you post to stackoverflow:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups&hl=en#!forum/vpython-users
Open Command Prompt and type exaclty what shown in the image
To install the graphics package
pip install graphics.py
https://pypi.org/project/graphics.py/
I have both 2.7 and 3.0 versions of the Python interpreter installed (on my Ubuntu 32 system), but one particular script uses 3.0.
Using
#!/usr/bin/python3 -B
will not work when the program is run with python myprogram.py.
And I also need a solution that works also in Windows where I also have both python versions installed.
How can I make the script to run only with the right python version?
Please use virtualenv, which makes isolated Python environments easy.
python = Python to use. # This has to be the absolute path to Python executable
os.execl(python, python, * sys.argv)
This way you can restart the script with the python you want to use. Not really stylish.
I don't know why you can't just launch the program with python3 foo.py, but it's possible to have a python2 program relaunch itself as python3 with something like this.
import sys
if sys.version_info.major != 3:
import os
# replace this process with a python3 process
os.execlp("python3", "python3", *sys.argv)
It's a bad solution though, because now your python3 program can't use anything that's not valid python2 syntax
Please take a look at The wrong python interpreter is called
You have to choose a correct interpreter based on where you installed the desired version of Python and your system variables.
