I am a relative newbie aged 74 years and have been following the online "Python for Everyone" course
run by University of Michigan.I have a Macbook pro running OSX Catalina and would now like to install easygraphics, but I can't by using the command "pip install easygraphics" from a zsh terminal.
I think that my main problems are related to the versions of software already installed on my Macbook.
Below are some responses:-
% pip install easygraphics
zsh: command not found: pip
So tried ...
% pip3 install easygraphics
Downloading/unpacking easygraphics
Cannot fetch index base URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement easygraphics
Cleaning up...
No distributions at all found for easygraphics
Storing debug log for failure in /Users/barry/.pip/pip.log
This is what is installed
% python --version
Python 2.7.16
% python3 --version
Python 3.4.2
% pip3 --version
pip 1.5.6 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages (python 3.4)
I have been able to successfully run some simple python programs with python3 both interactively and
using a xxxx.py file but to invoke my lastest version of python I have to type python3.
Having read some of the python.org documents I note that:
1. The latest stable Python release for Mac OSC is Python 3.7.7 - March 10, 2020 whereas
the version I have is very old
---- Python 3.4.2 - Oct. 13, 2014
2. To install the lates pip requires the presence of PyQt5
3. According to the PyQt5 Reference Guide -- installing from wheels -- "Only Python v3.5 and later are supported.'
It's all somewhat a can of worms for a newbie
-- There's a hole in my bucket dear Liza !
My basic question is: "From where I am now, what is the easiest way for me to use easygraphics ?
Do I really need to update Python to version 3.7.7 first ?
Do I really need to install PyQt5 and if so how ? I note the latest version is in a folder called
PyQt5-5.14.3.dev2004081215
Having installed the latest pip how do I run it to install easygraphics ?
Before I install any of the above, do I have to uninstall any python related stuff first ?
If I do manage to successfully install all the latest stuff how should I run it/call it ?
e.g python , python3, python?, pip, pip3, pip?
Thank you for your time and I appreciate any helpful comments
