I'm a reasonably experienced Excel developer and recently watched a couple of video demos of xlwings. I decided to learn more, but I'm finding it very difficult getting started. Do I need Python or other programs installed on my PC before installing xlwings? Are there VBA references I need to set up in advance? Any clues you can provide to this rank beginner will be deeply appreciated.
xlwings is a Python package and hence you need a Python installation to get started. Have a look at dependencies listed under http://docs.xlwings.org/en/stable/installation.html. Note that the Anaconda distribution gets you started most easily as it is a single-click installer that already comes with xlwings and all the dependencies preinstalled.

I'm quite new to Python (Got forced to use it since BBG don't support R), and i'm having difficulty installing blpapi. I'm currently using Spyder and Python 2.7 version.
Does anyone on this forum had already used python to send orders to Bloomberg and manipulate data provided by the terminal? If Positive, could you pls share how you've installed the API Libs and any other useful stuff. The idea is to feed a certain model with live data.
There's an .exe file in the Zip that you download from WAPI , but there's an error message appearing. I've already tried to speak with a BBG represent. but that does not helped.
Regards,
I have encountered this issue and tried all previous solutions to no avail. Have tried rolling back requests to older versions, have tried updating pyinstaller. Please guys, if you know a configuration that works, let me know.
I am compiling some python 2.7 code that uses Kivy
I am an idiot. I was piping the wrong python install. I use a separate version for other projects, and I sandbox my kivy one to prevent conflicts... too bad I forgot about that :)
I saw there was a previous question about installing PyQt on a Mac, but unfortunately I'm not quite able to comment on the thread so I had to post a new question. Like that user, I have been having issues downloading QT 4.11.1. I downloaded SIP as well as PyQT4 (link to instructions), but when I try to run python configure-ng.py from my downloads folder, I keep getting the same error saying:
Error: Use the --qmake argument to explicitly specify a working Qt qmake.
Unfortunately I can't find the Qt settings which means I can't keep following the directions from the previous answer and I was hoping someone might be able to help walk me through how to download this module. Sorry for the duplication and thanks in advance.
Although I've just signed up for Stackoverflow, I've used answers.ros.org, pcl-users.org, and other similar sites. I'll try to give as much information as possible because although similar problems come up in Google searches I cannot find an answer to this.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and I've installed PCL 1.7 via their set of instructions here: http:// pointclouds.org/downloads/linux.html
Following the tutorials I was able to get the "reader" and "writer" sample programs to work with the sample PCD's they give. I was also able to successfully use cmake to compile a more advanced program: http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/normal_distributions_transform.php#normal-distributions-transform
The problem begins whenever I try to make the iograbber or any other visualization programs that involve the Kinect. This is specifically the one I really want to use: http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/openni_grabber.php#openni-grabber Repeatedly, without fail, this has always been the warning I encounter when using cmake:
-- checking for module 'openni-dev'
-- package 'openni-dev' not found
-- Could NOT find openni (missing: OPENNI_INCLUDE_DIRS)
** WARNING ** io features related to openni will be disabled
It gives this warning several times in a row related to various components checking for it. Now you might say, "silly user, why don't you simply install openni-dev?"
Well when I initially did it with sudo apt-get install -y openni-dev (notice the -y which I soon learned about) it deleted most of my ROS/PCL files. Thread is here: http:// www.pcl-users.org/How-can-I-get-PCD-files-from-a-streaming-Kinect-td4033721.html It broke some packages and long story short I found out about aptitude and eventually I got myself back to square 1.
The thing is, I'm fairly sure I have openni 1.5.4 installed but somehow it isn't being found. When I go to my usr/lib folder it only shows an OpenNI2 folder, and not an OpenNI folder. I know there's a lot of issues with openni-dev popping up for PCL and ROS so I hope this answer will be able to help others as well. Before you ask, I'm copying/pasting the CMakeLists and C++ files exactly as I find it. I don't have a lot of programming experience so I hope I'm not missing something obvious.
If you use kinect v2, there's no OpenNI support.
So you can use this grabber:https://github.com/UnaNancyOwen/KinectGrabber/tree/Kinect2Grabber
I'm learning to create meteor application on my windows machine now. Everything is working fine because http://win.meteor.com have windows installation that I can try with.
The problem I have is now I want to have routing capability in my app. From my research the Meteor-Router package can add by using meteorite. So here's what I've done
Install node.js for windows --> everything looks OK, I can type node -v to look at node version
Install meteorite by type npm install -g meteorite --> every working fine up until async module installation that complain about "c:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found
I've try googling to looking for the answer but have no luck.
Any idea for me to solve this problem?
According to meteorite's official documentation, Meteorite does not work in Windows as of time of writing this. Sorry.
... However, meteorite's git based approach runs counter to the MSI installation that's required to get it working. So meteorite does not work under windows right now. Pull Requests which change this would be gladly accepted!
