PIP problem

[Hubert]

Dear helpers,

Answers to the various questions:

I removed 3.6 and installed 3.5 from scratch from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/. by using the windows x86 executable installer. I change one option: the location where Python is to be installed.

My environment variables: PATH=C:\Program Files\Python 3.5\Scripts\;C:\Program Files\Python 3.5\;C:\Program Files\Python\Scripts\;C:\Program Files\Python\;C:\Program Files\Nmap

Now for completeness the erro message I am getting with the new install:

Error:
>>> pip list

Python 3.5 is definitely urllib.request it should already be installed
so:

# GetUrl - Fetch files or web pages from internet
#
# Author: Larz60+
import urllib.request as ur
import os
from time import sleep


class GetUrl:
    def __init__(self, returndata=False):
        self.returndata = returndata

    def get_url(self, url, ret=False, tofile=None, bin=False):
        rdata = None
        head, tail = os.path.split(url)
        try:
            if tofile:
                if os.path.exists(tofile):
                    os.remove(tofile)
                if bin:
                    with open(tofile, 'wb') as f:
                        rdata = ur.urlopen(url).read()
                        f.write(rdata)
                else:
                    with open(tofile, 'w') as f:
                        rdata = ur.urlopen(url).read().decode('utf8')
                        f.write(rdata)
                sleep(.5)
            if ret:
                return rdata
        except:
            print("Unexpected error:", sys.exc_info()[0])

if __name__ == '__main__':
    url = 'ftp://ftp.nasdaqtrader.com/symboldirectory/phlxListedStrikesWithOptionIds.zip'
    tofile = 'G:\python\stock_market\symbols\data\DailyFiles\\USA\phlxListedStrikesWithOptionIds.zip'
    p = GetUrl()
    p.get_url(url, tofile, bin=True)

should work

don't use tofile if you want to preserve the old file

only set bin=True if you are downloading binary files

Doesn't work :

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Here is a more detailed explanation: https://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-add...-windows-7

New in 3.5 for Windows is that this can be done under installation.

Hubert follow of this,remove what you have first.
So make sure that "Add Python 3.5 to PATH" and "pip" is marked under installation.
Restart.
Now you check that "python" and "pip" command work from anywhere in cmd.
pip -V to check version.

C:\>pip -V
pip 9.0.0 from c:\python34\lib\site-packages (python 3.4)
C:\>

So this should be 3.5 placement for you.

You can upgrade pip,it's okay to do it from Scripts folder("pip.exe" is placed here).
Eg.

C:\>cd python34\scripts
C:\Python34\Scripts>pip install --upgrade pip

Now should version be 9.0.0.

[sparkz_alot]

That looks better. Though you could remove the "C:\Program Files\Python\Scripts\;C:\Program Files\Python\" from your environmental variables.

Next, do you have "requests" installed?

C:\>pip install requests
Collecting requests
  Downloading requests-2.11.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (514kB)
    100% |████████████████████████████████| 522kB 936kB/s
Installing collected packages: requests
Successfully installed requests-2.11.1

C:\>

I re-installed again, now setting the PATH tickbox.

In a cmd-window I can run Python and I can run PIP. Unfortunately when I run pip -V I get again:

Error:
pip -V

Look like a connection problem,you do have internet working?(pip need this).
Try also run cmd as administrator.

[Hubert]

No connection problems!

Some additional info that might be relevant:

When I initially started with Python (few weeks ago), I didn't have this PIP-problem. It popped up when I installed some hhtp-related module from python.org.

When I initially started with Python (few weeks ago), I didn't have this PIP-problem. It popped up when I installed some hhtp-related module from python.org.

Not sure yet what it is,have to search for simelar problems.

Just if someone wonder,so do pip use own internally version of Reqeusts and urllib3.
So solution is not to install those.

[metulburr]

I removed 3.6 and installed 3.5 from scratch

Each python install has its own pip and modules. So any module you installed in the past would not effect a fresh python install.
