I would like to send my Python3 script to my father-in-law and grandmother. Each has their own Windows machine, one is running Windows 7 and the other is running XP.
Not sure how to package it up for them to run on their respective machines. Is there such a method?
My script prompts, while in the IDE environment, for Keyword, path, filename. So there are some inputs, the user has to type in. Not sure if that will affect the portable script creation.
After reading through some responses here on StackOverFlow, I found py2exe does not work with Python 3.
Also Pytonw, suggested here as well, looks very complicated. I don't think either of my relative could carry out those steps.
Lastly CX-Freeze site I get ublock filters-Badware risks and a big warning window when I visit their website.
I've used cx-freeze to deploy python apps compiled to windows .exe files for us by computer novice users for several years and it has worked well. you will occasionally run into issues with dependencies you will have to take extra steps for (Datetime for example) but nothing that isn't surmountable. The easiest way to handle it is to install the folder on the computer yourself and create a desktop shortcut to it for the user. That keeps it simple for them. If you are not close to them you can always use a program like team viewer to gain access to their computer like remote desktop.

I have just installed python3.8 and sublime text editor. I am attempting to run the python build on sublime text but I am met with "Python was not found but can be installed" error.
Both python and sublime are installed on E:\
When opening cmd prompt I can change dir and am able to run py from there without an issue.
I'm assuming that my sublime is not pointing to the correct dir but don't know how to resolve this issue.
This isn't a Sublime issue, it's a Windows 10 issue. My Windows 10 boxes don't have this feature so I'm not sure how widely spread it is, but you may want to check out this (seemingly unrelated) question "Permission Denied" trying to run Python on Windows 10.
The general gist from this post is that these new stub redirectors are supposed to direct you into installing some missing applications from the Windows App store and that user-installed versions are supposed to take priority, but depending on how the PATH is modified the system might find the stub versions before your user installed versions.
The currently accepted answer mentions:
The second part of correcting it is to type "manage app execution aliases" into the Windows search prompt and disable the store versions of Python altogether.
It's possible that you'll only need to do the second part, but on my system I made both changes and everything is back to normal now.
In the comments, there are comments from Zooba which further indicate that this is the way to go:
(Microsoft employee and CPython core developer here) You definitely only need to do the second part. There have been a couple of bugs related to upgrading apps resetting aliases which will be fixed in the next stable update, so it should be a one-time fix by then. While you're getting Insiders updates you may need to do it a couple more times.
... And launching the Store is a new feature to help people install Python - if you've added it to PATH using the regular installer it should take precedence over the new redirector, but if not you've discovered above how to disable it.
i had the same problem, so i went to the microsoft store (windos 10) and simply installed "python 3.9" and problem was gone!
sorry for bad english btw
Let me give a quick background of the work I do and then I'll explain the problem I am facing.
I am a software developer with more than 15+ years work experience. My work involves a lot of varied tasks:
data analysis using R, Python
development of web applications using Ruby on Rails, JS, etc.
building models using open source libraries
So far, I have been doing all this in my personal laptop (Ubuntu 18.04) and have faced no issues.
But I would soon need to start using a laptop provided by the organisation that I am working for. This org is not a IT company, it's a public body. They only use Windows (10) and don't provide admin access to anyone. It's very hard to get permission to install any kind of "approved" software. Just to give an example, they refused to install Chrome in my laptop as they wouldn't be able to control the updates.
So here's my problem - what do I do to work peacefully using their laptop? The primary reason I have to use the work laptop is that there are a lot of important documents kept in shared drives that are accessible only in their machines.
I have been looking at options like WSL or Hyper-V. But, before I put in a request to the IT team to get them to agree, I wanted to know a few things:
1) Which among WSL or Hyper-V would be the better approach for setting up the dev environment that I want?
2) IF I get the IT team to install WSL/HV, would I be able to set up everything else without having to go back to them for each software? Is there a way of secure local admin access these options would provide that will ease their concerns?
3) Is there some other way of setting up what I want?
If still applicable and actual I can share my solution:
If you should work on a windows machine where you don’t have administrative privileges, you can very easily make a portable R/Rstudio installation.
Download a recent version of R from the CRAN site and the recent version of RStudio. After download extract RStudio installation exec with 7Zip and copy files from $_OUTDIR to the desired location (in case you making an update, simply overwrite all files, that already exist). Your RStudio executable will be in
your-chosen-directory/bin/rstudio.exe
Then run CRAN-R installation, ignore the warning that you don’t have administrative privileges and go forward until installation will complete. Run RStudio, from the menu
Tools->Global Options
locate where your R installation is located.
If you performing an update (more recent version of R), copy all files from the library subfolder of the old R installation into new, but this time DON’T OVERWRITE! This operation vill preserves the packages you have installed in the previous version of R. After copying update all your packages from the RStudio window (Packages->Update). When the packages update process will end check which packages failed to update (You will see warning messages near them in the RStudio console). Remove these packages (write down names of failed packages and delete corresponding folders from library subfolder). For this, you will need to exit from RStudio. After deletion launch RStudio again and execute the packages install command in the RStudio console:
install.packages(c("package1", "package2", "package3"))
Congratulations, You are ready to go!
I am trying to install nltk and download the nltk data. I am trying this on python 3.7.3 and my pip is up to date. my PC is windows 10 and given by the company.
My Installation of nltk is succesfull but it wont downlaod the data. It dont give me GUI to chose downloads nor finishes the download. The cursor keeps blinking forever.
I have tried this running it as a an admin, ran it through Jupyter Notebook. Never saw the GUI at all/
Who knows what's going on? Maybe the download window is hidden behind other windows; I've seen that a lot. Or maybe it really doesn't come up. Either way, if you can't find the window you can largely work around the problem by using the non-GUI form of the downloader:
nltk.download("book") will download all the resources you'll need while reading the book. I recommend you just run this one and move on to exploring the nltk.
nltk.download("all") will download everything in the download store. Probably overkill.
nltk.downlead(<name>) will download resource <name> (e.g., 'average_perceptron_tagger' for the tagger data, etc.) If you try to use a module and it's missing a resource, it will usually tell you what you need to download.
There are some other collective names including all-corpora, popular, and third-party, but the most useful ones are the above, I believe.
This has been resolved. I had to bypass web connection proxy server at my work. Instead, they added permissions for the http://files.pythonhosted.org and this worked fine.
this is my first time on such a prestidigious site, so please welcome me by assisting me. I am doing independent development and am primarily a music designer. So that is why I may not sound like a real pro coder but nevertheless truly love creating my music through automative processes.
My present issue is this:
Windows 8.1 Pro
AutoHotkey 1.0.48.5 32bit (running as Admin)
Everytime I attempt to use the command 'RUN' with an .ahk target, I get the expected result except that the .ahk residing folder is opened by MS Explorer. I suspect that something like the fact that AutoHokey is an unsigned app, windows does not want it to run flawlessly. I am now trying a number of Administrative Tool Services disabling, but with no success yet.
RUN C\:XZN\Mecanisms\AnyAHK_script.ahk
;;or
RUN AnyAHK_script.ahk, C\:XZN\Mecanisms
;;or
RUN C\:XZN\Mecanisms\BactchfileLaunchingAboveScript.bat
;;or
RUN AnyAHK_script.ahk, C\:XZN\Mecanisms
Would there be a workaround this at the OS settings level or another way to run/start an .ahk file?
I tried the 'Comspec' approach as well as running an .ahk from within a batchfile, but the .ahk always get intercepted whenever it contains a 'RUN' command requesting an .ahk target.
Thanks.
You are using outdated version of AutoHotkey which is more than 5 years old. Always use AutoHotkey and its documenatation from http://ahkscript.org/ (current uptodate version, new official website)! AutoHotkey and its documentation from autohotkey.com is outdated and you may have some problems using them!
One thing to try if you only have this problem on win 8 is to Enable interaction with administrative programs http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/70449-enable-interaction-with-administrative-programs/
That script modifies the executable file's embedded manifest, then creates and installs a self-signed certificate and uses it to sign the file. The executable will not run on any other system, unless you install the certificate used to sign the file.
But lets see some script code that way we have something to test with and can better help you out...
I know this question has been asked several times around the internet, but I have spent about a week trying to solve this problem with little luck.
I am trying to install JavaCommAPI (an archived Java package to allow communication with rs232) on a remote linux Ubuntu 11.0, 32-bit server in order to deploy a web project which I have developed on a local apache server on my windows PC.
The thing that puzzles me is, I am able to get the .war web project to deploy on a local apache server on a separate 32-bit LinuxMint16 PC by correctly placing the javax.comm.properties, comm.jar, and libSerialParallel.so files in their respective places.
I use System.getProperty("java.library.path"); in order to find the correct library path in order to install correct files.
On my LinuxMint16:
javax.comm.properties -- /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/lib
comm.jar -- /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/lib/ext
libSerialParallel.so -- /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/lib/i386
....works!
On my remote Ubuntu server I did the exact same for its reported library path
(for example: /usr/local/jdk/jdk1.7.0_45/jre/lib/javax.comm.properties ;
/usr/local/jdk/jdk1.7.0_45/jre/lib/ext/comm.jar ;
/usr/local/jdk/jdk1.7.0_45/jre/lib/i386/libSerialParallel.so)
...fails =(
Things of note: I added the needed apache jars and comm.jar to my libraries in Eclipse using the BuildPath wizard (right click on project --> Build Path-->add external jars) which points to local files on my PC which I obviously cannot use for a remote server which I am only accessing through command line. May this is affecting it somehow?
I tried to get error output (System.err) from the Java Console printed to a separate file for my remote server as that feedback was very helpful in getting all the files sorted on my LinuxMint PC.
PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(pathName);
System.setOut(ps);
System.setErr(ps);
Which again, is oddly working beautifully to print the stream to a local .txt file on my LinuxMintPC but not to the one I designate on my remote ubuntu server.
I am really at a wits end here!! Am I mixing and matching appropriate versions of Systems prohibiting things to run smoothly? I am not sure how to proceed from here, if anyone has any insights I would die of happiness. Thanks
I needed to install OPEN JDK7 on my ubuntu, put files in appropriate library paths (as described above) and now it works.
