pip and installing modules - deep_logic - Jun-23-2017
Hi all,
I'm sorry if this is the wrong location, but I couldn't find a good spot to post this.
I'm a relative noob with python. I'm trying to use pip and install a specialized module called pyiso. If I'm administrator and run pip to install pyiso, I'm getting the syntax error, "invalid syntax". If I run IronPython I get the same syntax error. If I'm in Visual Studio and run Anaconda, same thing. My main development, IDLE, has the same problem.
Any ideas? I know I'm out of my element here, but tips are welcome.
Thx,

I think you write pip command from interactive interpreter(has >>>).
Then get
syntax error, "invalid syntax"You shall write commands from cmd
Look last in post how i use pip.
Quote:If I'm in Visual Studio and run Anaconda, same thing.For Anaconda is
pip conda and python located in anaconda/bin folder.I you have not set
environment variable Path to Anaconda(will ask for this under install of Anaconda).Have to cd into
anaconda/bin folder and prefably use conda not pip.conda install pyiso if not work then pip install pyiso.

Many thanks snipsat.
I did get it to install while in Administrator cmd prompt. It does appear that Anaconda is in the path and my environment variables are set.
Thanks again, I owe you a beer!
