pip - how to use it? - amgp - Jun-30-2017

Purchased a book on Python Game Programming and got stuck after chapter 1.
At the start of chapter 2 i was told to type in: $pip --version and also $pip install cocos2d
I tried entering both of those commands in Python IDLE, and in the various Python folders using windows command prompt.
In all cases I met with failure.
Any ideas from anyonee?

Take a look at Python 3.6 and pip installation under Windows,
Python environment Windows

first of all you dont put that command in the python. And IDLE is just a fancy text editor. You put that command into the system command prompt. Second of all the $ symbol is a prompt and is not part of the command.

More info. Exactly what was failed? How? What did you input? What did that output? Make sure to follow snippsat's linked tutorial thats shows that python is in the PATH and pip is installed. After that, just type into your command prompt

pip install cocos2d

Once you get pip working correctly, bear in mind you need to install 'pyglet' before you install 'cocos2d'.

i wasnt aware that pyglet was required for cocos2d

I believe I'm reading this correctly cocos2d download, though it wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong Tongue

EDIT:
This might be a better link, it shows other possible dependencies as well: cocos2d dependencies

RE: pip - how to use it? - Larz60+ - Jun-30-2017

You need go no further than pypi:

cocos2d:

Quote:Requirements

Software:

python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.3+
pyglet 1.2 or newer (http://www.pyglet.org)
Linux, Windows or Mac OS/X

Hardware:

To execute some effects you will need a video card with the:

GL_EXT_framebuffer_object extension.

That's requirement is written in setup.py
install_requires.append('pyglet>=1.2')
Additional dependencies that can be needed like numpy,Avibin,Pygame is not in setup.py.

I have a plain to write a tutorial about Packaging/Modules/setup.py and all that stuff.
Have started to think of how to do it Undecided

So if install cocos2d with pip 9.0.1 and Python 3.6.
It look like this.

C:\
λ pip install cocos2d
Collecting cocos2d
 Downloading cocos2d-0.6.4.zip (5.2MB)
   100% |████████████████████████████████| 5.2MB 146kB/s
Requirement already satisfied: six>=1.4 in c:\python36\lib\site-packages (from cocos2d)

Installing collected packages: pyglet, cocos2d

Just as in additional info there is no need to download wheel from Gohlke.
with pip 9.0.1 and Python 3.6.
It will find wheel and use it
Earlier version pip and Python on Windows did not do that.
Example:

C:\
λ pip install numpy

I look forward to it as well. This is an area where I am weak.
