Unable to Launch RIDE from command prompt - python-2.7

I want to start using the RIDE tool for automation but I am currently unable to launch it from the command prompt. The following are what I have installed.
Python 2.7.11 (32bit)
Wx Python 2.8.12.1(unicode) for Python 2.7
robotframework 3.0.2 (pip installed)
robotframework-ride 1.5.2.1 (pip installed)
When I launch ride.py from cmd, it opens up a word file which has the same ride.py which is installed in the C:\Python27\Scripts folder.
The same setup works on a different machine. I don't understand why in this machine, it opens up a word document instead of launching RIDE

Do a right click on ride.py and choose python as default program.

in my machine python 2.7.15 is auto updated from 2.7.14. When to try to launch Ride.py it throws an error
wxPython not found.
You need to install wxPython 2.8.12.1 or 3.0.2 or newer with unicode support to run RIDE. wxPython can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpython/files/wxPython/
Although is wxpython 2.8.12.1 installed its doesn't recognize it. can anyone help out how can i over come this issue.
I have Ride 2.0a1. should I downgrade ride or how can i fix this issue.

C:\Windows\system32>pip install pandasFatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"'

I have recently installed python-2.7.14 (32-bit) on windows 10. But when I try to install any package using command pip install XXX, it gives me above error.
I tried all solution to this existing problem but it didn't work for me.
My python is installed on C:\Python27
python -m pip install XXX
worked for me but when I tried to open jupyter notebook in windows command prompt by typing
jupyter notebook
It used to give me the same Fatal error.
Actually, it was my antivirus mcafee at organisational level which was blocking the exe to run.
To solve this I had installed python in D:\ folder.

Changing default Python from 2.7.10 to 3.5.2 in terminal so I can install pip

I was hoping for some help in setting up a Python development environment on a Mac.
Background: I'm running a newly upgraded macOS Sierra 10.12.1, and setting up various parts of Python development on it. This macOS version already came with Python 2.7.10 installed - and I'd prefer to leave that alone for now.
So I installed Homebrew, and then used that in turn to install the latest python3, that is, Python 3.5.2; but I guess it's not the default for Terminal yet, since when I run the python -V command, I get this in the Terminal window:
Python 2.7.10
So now I've got at least 2 version of Python on my Mac, and that's fine I guess, but the latest Python one is not the one that is the 'default'. How do I set 3.5.2 as my default rather than 2.7.10?
(Backstory for why I want to do that... pip is not installed, i.e., when I go to Terminal and type in pip, it says:
-bash: pip: command not found
When I tried to follow the installation instructions for pip, I ran into a permissions issue, which makes sense I guess, since I don't have access to the Mac's 2.7.10 Python install, nor do I really want it at this stage. So I'd like to switch Terminal to take the new Python 3.5.2 as my default one, in which case I guess I won't have pip permissions issues...)
Thanks in advance for any help folks!
The safest solution is to create a virtual environment running python 3 and use it as development environment. Check the following links:

Installing tensorflow on Pycharm (Mac)

I was trying to use tensorflow in Pycharm IDE.
It seems that in Pycharm, it is one-click to install a package. It was very easy with bumpy. Now error occurs when I was trying to install tensorflow.
Tensorflow was installed through terminal on Mac, as screenshot shows, using the command
sudo pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.8.0-py2-none-any.whl
(Refer to https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r0.8/get_started/os_setup.html#pip-installation)
Any suggestions ? Thanks.
If you install tensorflow with the virtualenv option and want to use it from Pycharm for a project, you need to set up a corresponding virtualenv interpreter. There are a few solutions on the forum, for example How to get VirtualEnv TensorFlow to work in PyCharm?, however, that one didn't work for me with a "python packaging tools not found pycharm" error.
This is a working solution for me, first create a virtualenv from Pycharm and then install tensorflow there:
In Pycharm, Preferences -> Project interpreter -> Create VirtualEnv -> give the virtualenv a name and location of your choice, and select "inherit global site-packages" option -> OK.
In command line, install tensorflow in the virtualenv location you created in Step 1. For the above case, the location is ~/tensorflow_pycharm, therefore, run command virtualenv --system-site-packages ~/tensorflow_pycharm
In Pycharm, select the created project interpreter, and select the tensorflow package, double click to install the package.
If Step 3 is successful, set run configuration, and try run a sample program.
Update - Nov. 1, 2017:
Tried successfully with Latest Jetbrain PyCharm Community Edition (2017.2.4) and Python 2.7.14, with Installing with virtualenv of https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_mac.
Install tensorflow with virtualenv
Add Local to Project Interpreter.
Run the script
Generate graph
Run tensorboard --logdir=/tmp/tensorflow_logs in Terminal of PyCharm
Go Preferences and search for the interpreter. You may see several interpreters. Select any interpreter which has the tensorflow package installed.
Check out the installed packages and double check the versions of tensorflow as shown in this picture.
To summarize (on Mac) :
Step 1, get latest Python (2.7.11 today) on Pycharm:
Pycharm, can not find Python version 2.7.11
Step 2, follow "Pip Installation" of https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r0.8/get_started/os_setup.html#download-and-setup
Step 3, Pycharm-- preference -- project interpreter, install the latest versions of numpy, protobuf, six.
Tensorflow import error on Pycharm (Mac)
Note, maybe have to click the "specify version" when installing.
Step 4, Pycharm-- preference -- project interpreter, install the latest version of tensorflow (v 0.8.0 today).
Note, if not find v0.8.0, then maybe have to manually click "Manage Repositories" and then add the link of Step 2 (https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.8.0-py2-none-any.whl)
These steps worked well on both Mac computers of mine. Thanks for all helps during the procedure from contributors.
Steps I followed
1. Use the virtualenv option in tensor flow's official guide for installation and follow the steps exactly to install and set up tensor flow. Although we've already created a virtual environment here, I created a separate one for Pycharm projects.
This is how you do it.
1. Create a new project. Go to Preferences. Go to interpreter and create a new virtualEnv. Give it a name and check on the box "inherit global site-packages". Press "OK".
creating a virtualenv
Below are a list of Packages. Here's where I couldn't find tensor flow initially. If this is the case, there's a + symbol on the bottom left. Click on it and manually search for "tensorflow". Click on "install package" on the bottom left.
installing tensorflow package
After the installation is done press OK.Close this screen. Tensorflow will now appear on the installed packages list.
Press ok. Now test your installation with a program.
import tensorflow as tf
hello = tf.constant("hello TF")
sess = tf.Session()
print(sess.run(hello))
Hope this helps.

Fail to install Python 2.7.9 on a Windows google compute engine instance

I fired up a new Windows google compute engine instance. It's running Windows 2008 R2, service pack 1.
I download and try running the Python .msi installer for version 2.7.9, and it fails with this error:
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
I see this error for both the 64-bit and the 32-bit installer.
Has anyone else seen it or know of a work-around?
I reproduced your issue and I found two workarounds:
You can install python 2.7.6 successfully without further action.
If you need python 2.7.9 you can install it deselecting pip from the install menu.
This seems to be related to this answer in another thread although in that case the issue is with version 3.4.
Install python EXCEPT "pip"
Run the python install msi again and select "change"
Select "pip" and install the pip
It would be works...
I think it is a priority problem into the msi package...the package seems to try to install the pip before installing python.exe. So, pip can not be installed...
I'm using Windows 8.1 64-bit. I had 2.7.11 installed and then I tried to install PIP as well via Chocolatey PIP package.
I think my installation had got messed up because I had tried to install Python 3.4 as well as Python 2.
Then I had deleted all the Python 2 and Python 3 files in an attempt to get rid of this.
What worked for me was:
Editing the Environment Variables both, System and User to remove any PYTHONHOME or PYTHONPATH variables
I also deleted the path I had to python2 in the PATH environment variable
Now (as mentioned in Python Issue 22329) after deleting the Environment variables you can go into 'Programs and Features', click on the Python 2.7.11 (64-bit) program and then click 'Repair' - this then worked as I would expect without error.
Now finally I was able to go into 'Programs and Features', click on the Python 2.7.11 (64-bit) program and then click 'Uninstall'.
Edit: I assume this is connected with this PYTHON_HOME answer to a problem with Python 3.4
It seems to be a dependency issue, please try to install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)"

Bad Interpreter: No such file or directory error when launching iPython with Anaconda

My ipython was working fine until I installed a new IDE and accidentally changed some path settings. Now, when I try to launch ipython from terminal I get:
-bash: /Users/JohnSmith/anaconda/bin/ipython: /Users/JohnSmith/anaconda/python.app/Contents/MacOS/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
How do I change my path/local environment settings back so that it works?
It seems that uninstalling and re-installing Anaconda was the easiest solution (after several hours of playing around with my PATH variables, etc).
This github thread shows the solution from spyder dev ccordoba12:
https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/9951#issuecomment-517913824
run
conda install -f python.app
(Very fast to run)
Then spyder etc. was fixed. Apparently an incorrect python path in the launch script.
FYI I had this same issue with Anaconda install with python 3.8 (2022), after a big mess with upgrading anaconda via conda update --all. On MacBook Pro (Intel)
