PIP problem

[Hubert]

I just started working with Python. Tried several ide's, and am not settling on Pyzo.

I have a serious problem with PIP. Whatever PIP command I use, I get an error like this:

Error:
>>> pip list

I have uninstalled Python and installed it again, but the error remains. On the web I found many people having similar problems, but I have not been able to find the solution.

Can anyone of you help?

Kind regards

Hubert

Which version(s) of Python are you using and on which operating system? From the errors, it looks like you are missing some modules, or actually, it looks like Python is looking int the wrong place for these modules. For instance, the first line

File "c:\program files\lib\site-packages\pip\_vendor\requests\packages\urllib3\connection.py"

Usually, the lib\site-packages are located under the Python directory, for instance "C:\Python 3.5\". Verify that you have the environmental settings set to include "C:\Python 3.5" and "C:\Python 3.5\Scripts" Note: The actual Python directory will depend on which version you have installed.

Thanx for your reply.

I'm running Python 3.6 on a Windows 7 computer.

Python was installed in c:\programfiles and the whole lib-tree is also there.

I do not understand what you mean by "environmental settings...."

Kind regards,

Hubert

3.6 is only beta, and as such, some things may not yet work
you should be using 3.5.2

for 3.6 it's embedded in urllib

import urllib.requests as ur

rdata = ur.urlopen(url).read()

replace url with address

[Hubert]

I changed to 3.5.2. Still the same problem.

Python was installed in c:\programfiles and the whole lib-tree is also there.

This is not the default install path. Did you change it?

I changed to 3.5.2. Still the same problem.

Did you completely remove 3.6 and re-install 3.5 from scratch?

Where are you getting the python installs? What method are using to install? What options are you changing in your install options?

[Hubert]

The path now is c:\program files\python 3.5

[metulburr]

You didnt answer any of my questions...thus i cannot help.

I do not understand what you mean by "environmental settings...."

It's been some time since I've used Windows 7, but I imagine if you go to the "Control Panel" --> System --> (maybe advanced settings?) you should end up on "System Properties", at the bottom you should see a button for "Environment Variables"

Here is a more detailed explanation: https://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-add...-windows-7

It bothers me that I do not see "Python 36" (or Python 35) in the directory path of the traceback report which leads me to think Python is not being installed correctly,

for example, I would expect to see at the very least:

Error:
File "c:\program files\Python35\lib\site-packages\pip\_vendor\requests\packages\urllib3\connection.py", line 12, in <module>

Your environmental variable should then contain:

c:\program files\Python 35;c:\program files\Python 35\Scripts;

sorry, i had an error in 3.5.2 it's urllub.request not urllib.requests
