Troubleshooting site packages ('h5py' to be specific) - aukhare - Nov-02-2020 Hello! I want to install the 'h5py' package so I can view the contents of the '.h5' files that I have. I did pip install h5py2.10.0 and that installed the package successfully in my \Python\Lib\site-packages directory. I also added this directory in my path in Windows. But when I used the command import h5py in my script, I got an error saying "No module by the name h5py'. When I typed h5py --version I again got the error saying its not a recognized internal or external command. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Thanks!

Look at the basic here stuff here Python 3.8 (3.6-3.7) and pip installation under Windows. So test python and pip from command line,if trouble look at Fixing Path if needed .Quick example: # Test python λ python -V Python 3.8.3 # Test pip,will show path to Python version it install to E:\div_code λ pip -V pip 20.2.3 from c:\python38\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.8) # Install h5py E:\div_code λ pip install h5py Collecting h5py Downloading h5py-3.0.0-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl (2.7 MB) |████████████████████████████████| 2.7 MB 1.3 MB/s Requirement already satisfied: numpy>=1.17.5; python_version == "3.8" in c:\python38\lib\site-packages (from h5py) (1.19.0) Collecting cached-property Downloading cached_property-1.5.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl (7.6 kB) Installing collected packages: cached-property, h5py Successfully installed cached-property-1.5.2 h5py-3.0.0 # Test that it work E:\div_code λ python Python 3.8.3 (tags/v3.8.3:6f8c832, May 13 2020, 22:37:02) [MSC v.1924 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import h5py >>> >>> h5py.__version__ '3.0.0' >>> exit() |
