Ok, I am using python 3.4.3 and I think I downloaded the right file but when I go to python shell, it says No module named 'cx_Freeze'
I know there are plenty of questions like this but none of them helped. There was one I found using my exact same problem and version but even that did not work. I do not know what to do. I have put the file in the same place, I think anyways, as python is and I tried putting it on my desktop but still does not work. Any ideas?
faced a similar problem (Python 3.4 32-bit, on Windows 7 64-bit). After installation of cx_freeze, three files appeared in c:\Python34\Scripts:
cxfreeze
cxfreeze-postinstall
cxfreeze-quickstart
These files have no file extensions, but appear to be Python scripts. When you run python.exe cxfreeze-postinstall from the command prompt, two batch files are being created in the Python scripts directory:
cxfreeze.bat
cxfreeze-quickstart.bat
From that moment on, you should be able to run cx_freeze.
cx_freeze was installed using the provided win32 installer (cx_Freeze-4.3.3.win32-py3.4.exe). Installing it using pip gave exactly the same result.
Ok, I figured it out. So this is for all the future people have the same problem as I am. First, download pip. Then open a python shell and import pip. This is to make sure the download of pip was successful. Then go to the cx_Freeze website and for python 3.4.3, it will be the last one I think. It will say the version of cx_Freeze and then say the version of python which is 3.4.3 for me. That will download and then go to python shell and import cx_Freeze. It should work. Remember that you have to capitalize the "F" and have the code be exactly like this "cx_Freeze" but without the quotes. That is how I solved this problem with this exact python version.

I am having the error while running jupyter notebook. Error replication:
python --version
Python 3.7.9
python
import win32api
The error was: ImportError: DLL load failed
After doing a some stackoverflow, I got to know that there are 2 dll files missing namely: pythoncom37.dll and pywintypes37.dll
I also got to know that I can run this post command: pywin32_postinstall.py in the Scripts folder. I ran this script. Restarted my pc. I manually download these two dll and copied it to my system32. After manually downloading, I started to have a different type of error: ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application
I used anaconda and ran my jupyter notebook which was my main aim but can you please make me aware as what is going wrong?
I've run into this recently, but with a different version of the DLLs. What solved it for me was using a different version of pywin32.
My solution (conda env, python 3.8.5):
pip install pywin32==300
or try 225, 227, 228. The latest pywin32 (301 as of this post) seems to be having dll search issues (I wouldn't be surprised if whatever version you were using is also having dll search issues). 301 was released after your issue started, but you may have a similar problem nonetheless.
There is currently an issue on pywin32 DLL loading failing: https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/issues/1709
Factors involved (in my experience) include your PATH variable (if you're using conda). I haven't tested it myself, but I'd be curious to see if this issue occurs without conda. This issue stops happening for me if the first dlls found are those for 301. In my case, that means putting them in my C:\Windows\System32 folder (yeah I'm on Windows; joy).
So a possible solution #2 would be to run the pywin32 post install script which should be located under your venv/Scripts/pywin32_postinstall.py
To try that solution, open an ADMIN command prompt (very important that it's admin), navigate to your venv, and run:
ppython.exe Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py --install
You shouldn't HAVE to do this, but if you just need a one-off solution and it works, great!
pip install --upgrade pywin32 ==225 worked for me. Tried version 300 and was unsuccessful.
I'm new to Python, but I have set up an python script for searching some specific Values in 2 different excel sheets printing out matches (in excel).
Problem is, that our work machines are heavily locked down and without admin privileges, we can't really install anything (we can download though). Is there any version of Python that is Windows 7 compatible that will run standalone without requiring any sort of installer?
I have tried pyInstaller, but the problem is that in my script we need PANDAS.
And there is no possibility to pip install pandas to our local machines. All is blocked. ("pip install pandas" is not possible. I did the code with Anaconda)
So my question is: how can I set up a file for my coworkers, who have no permission to download pandas?
Can I set up an exe file (all use windows 7/10) in my private computer where pandas is already installed and forward it to the workers?
It should be very easy for them to use--> double click for executing the python script
Thanks in advance for any advice.
You can also use pyinstaller which personally I find the easiest to use. It can bundle executables for both Linux and Windows, but it must be run on that architecture that you wish to have executable for, i.e. if you want to have Linux executable the pyinstaller command with your code must be run on Linux OS of some kind.

This is old so you may already have found a solution but this might help others.
Python by default is an interpreted language. This means that compiling it into an .exe file is impossible.
However, using some modules it is indeed possible to convert a .py script into a windows executable.
You can try py2exe.
py2exe is a Python Distutils extension which converts Python scripts
into executable Windows programs, able to run without requiring a
Python installation.
They have a tutorial here.
I created a Python script (format .py) that works.
I would like to convert this file to .exe, to use it in a computer without having Python installed.
How can I do?
I have Python from Anaconda3.
What can I do?
Thank you!
I followed some instruction found here on Stackoverflow.
.I modify the Path in the 'Environment variables' in the windows settings, edited to the Anaconda folder.
.I managed to install pip in conda prompt (I guess).
Still, nothing is working. I don't know how to proceed and in general how to do things properly.
I personaly use pyinstaller, its available from pip.
But it will not really compile, it will just bundle.
The difference is compiling means translating to real machine code while bundling is creating a big exe file with all your libs and your python interpreter.
Even if pyinstaller create bigger file and is slower than cython (at execution), I prefer it because it work all the time without work (except lunching it).
I wanted to use the code:
import geodict_lib
locations = geodict_lib.find_locations_in_text(text)
But there seems to be no installer for geodict_lib. How do I install this is Anaconda 3.0 Python 3?
I know this is a year on, but perhaps I could help others who stumble on this. You'll need to place the files in the directory for modules that your installation of Python is monitoring.
First, download the .zip file from GitHub here.
Once you've done that, you can run the following at the command line or terminal:
conda list
This will provide the path to all installed packages in your installation of Python. Move the geodict.zip file you downloaded to that location. You might want to run which python as well (see here) since you may have a few different installations to check for.
Now when you run python import geodict in Python it should run without trouble!
I'm trying to install pybrain on python 3.2. It says here: https://github.com/pybrain/pybrain/pull/85 that it should work. However it does not for me.
I tried:
$export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:'/home/luis/Documents/pybrain/'https://github.com/pybrain/pybrain/pull/85
which works well for python 2.7.
Did somebody get it to work?
After hours of "what the hell?!"s I installed it.
First the installer suggested is not updated for Python3 so I installed Distribute. With that installed I was able to use python setup.py install in the directory where I unrared pybrain. It gave a ton of errors. So I found this article (god bless google translate) and used 2to3 on pybrain directory. After I tried to install it again it gave an error on from string import split so I edited the file and removed that line (it is not needed really) and tried yet another time. This time no errors occurred and I was able to import pybrain without any problems. The same problem with the from string import split occurs in utilities.py again, so edit that line too.
I used 2to3 to turn examples to python3 too. benchmarkplots.py seems to work.
Update:
pybrain now supports python3
Here's how to install if you run into trouble
pip install https://github.com/pybrain/pybrain/archive/0.3.3.zip
Or just grab latest github pybrain release.
