Cannot find PIP - standenman - Jan-20-2018 I am brand new to Python, using the "Automate the Boring Stuff" to try to edit a pdf file using module PyPDF2. Cannot even get off the ground in the Python interactive shell. I am using Python 3.6 but cannot even find PIP: >>> py -m pip install --upgrade pip SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> Yet if I go to Window Powershell I get the following: PS C:\Users\stand> py -m pip install --upgrade pip Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:\users\stand\appdata\local\programs\python\python36-32\lib\site-packages PS C:\Users\stand> I'm confused! RE: Cannot find PIP - j.crater - Jan-20-2018 pip is a program that should be ran in your system's command prompt. So your first attempt was not the right thing to do. Using Windows command prompt is the right place to execute the command, and it looks like it worked fine! Response tells that your pip is installed and up to date. RE: Cannot find PIP - standenman - Jan-20-2018 Thanks for your response. Yes, and in command prompt I see that PyPDF2 is indeed installed. But I cannot do anything in Python interactve shell. Why is that? should I be using some kind of Python IDE? RE: Cannot find PIP - j.crater - Jan-20-2018 Can you tell more specifically, what you cannot do in Python interactive shell? As far as simply running the Python code goes, IDE doesn't do anything more that shell does. Did you try to run some code and got errors? In that case, post the code in Python code tags and full error traceback in error tags, and we will look into it. RE: Cannot find PIP - snippsat - Jan-20-2018 Take a look at Python 3.6 and pip installation under Windows See how i test that pip work and install a module(then test that module/package work). Here a run from cmd to show how it shoud look and install of PyPDF2 :Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393] (c) 2016 Microsoft Corporation. Med enerett.

Have a post about it here Python environment Windows. RE: Cannot find PIP - standenman - Jan-22-2018 Thanks to all for the advice. Seems to be working now in Python interactive after reinstall of Python per the above instructions. Thanks so much for the help. |
