I'm trying to upgrade an old vpython 5 script to vpython 7. In this script I import visual.filedialog but I can't find filedialog in the vpython 7's vpython module. What is the equivalent of filedialog in vpython 7?
Thanks,
Mike.
Here is some VPython documentation on files.
http://www.glowscript.org/docs/VPythonDocs/files.html
It says "he following information does not apply to VPython 7, where one can use the standard Python methods for importing modules and reading or writing files."

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 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 want to get Vpython on Python 3.6(Python Distribution). I couldn't find an option except for anaconda. Please help because I want to process the data coming from Arduino to Python making 3D visualizations.
See VPython's website for install options and how the new VPython differs from the older classic VPython. The new VPython works with python 3.6. The old classic VPython works only with python 2.x.. If you have the old classic VPython on your computer then you might need to uninstall it first. Then install the new VPython version 7 with pip.
pip install VPython
Then launch IDLE or spyder python IDE and try running this simple program:
from VPython import *
box()
You should see a 3d canvas with a box appear in your webb browser.
I am using Pycharm version: Pycharm Community Edition 2017.1 on Windows 7 64 bit edition, and my environment variables are set as below:

When I open a new python file using pycharm and type in:
import tkinter this works
Whereas :
tkinter.[functions popup] would display very few options:
as in image, Looks like I have to update the path variable or either some things to change in my Pycharm IDE. I am a newbie for a tkinter GUI programming.
You have a file named tkinter.py, so it's importing that file rather than the tkinter module. rename tkinter.py to something else.
Childish Mistake.
Your file is named tkinter.py which if you know is the same as the Module tkinter when you type import tkinter.
So What you are doing is;
while 3>2:
os.starfile('/pathtoyourfile')
it is an Infinite Loop going on.
When I was learning python and learning to send emails i named my file email.py and because of that my file was failing try to name you files as adrgdt.py something Unique so you dont run into this error again
I hope this helps.
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.
