I am trying to install django-dash to run one of the dashboard examples and see what it's like.
I am on Windows running Python 2.7 and Django 1.6.5. I know the usual approach is to download pip then install the package using pip. However, I am on a work computer with no administrative rights so I can't access my Internet Option Settings to find my proxy URL to follow the instructions below:
Proxy problems
If you work in an office, you might be behind a HTTP proxy. If so, set the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy. Most Python applications (and other free software) respect these. Example syntax:
http://proxy_url:port
http://username:password#proxy_url:port
I had the same issue when trying to install Django but was able to get it to work by moving the django directory under Python27/Lib/site-packages. Is there something similar I can do with django-dash?
I also tried downloading the sources and running python setup.py install. I received the following error:
File "setup.py", line 3, in <module> from setuptools import setup, find_packages ImportError: No module named setuptools
Link to django-dash: http://django-dash.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
Yes, you can probably get the sources from The Python Package Index
Once you have them, uncompress the files and install them manually (this will depend on you OS).
On Linux systems:
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
Here's the full reference
EDIT : Note that when manually installing those packages, you must also install any missing dependencies, eg. setuptools in your case

I have tried to create envelope on my linux pop os system using miniconda. When I activate it, I can install packages using pip, but when I run my django instance it doesn't find the modules.
If I type which python is shows the miniconda path correctly. I can look in the site-packages folder and see the packages installed.
I've tried installing django-anymail and corsheaders and they are both not being found. It does find my locally installed apps.
If I use the command line and open python and then import, it does not recognize my modules installed in the virtual envelope either. I thought it was a problem with conda, so I also created an envelope using python's native method: python3 -m venv
I have the same problem with it finding pip install site-packages.
Is there a command I can run to show all available packages?
I hadn't realized I had aliased my python. Now it is working.
UPDATE 1: PIL and RDKIT produced import errors because the .dll files were not placed in /venv//Lib/site-packages
I removed both packages from environment and commented out their code from my project.
Next I updated the base base environment:
conda update conda #from base env
Then I upgraded pip and setuptools and reinstalled pillow:
python -m pip install pip --upgrade
pip install setuptools --upgrade
pip install pillow
I can now add my PIL content back to the project and it will work just fine on the production server, without rdkit installed.
RDKIT is only available as a conda install, it still does not install properly and breaks PIL in the process(rdkit depends on pillow). I have reinstalled from both the rdkit and conda-forge channels. Neither work.
What is the proper way to fix this problem? I feel like the hack around of moving .dll files is risky and not a good solution.
UPDATE 0: RDKIT will not load into any server
I created a basic django project similar to what you would find in the tutorial with no static files. The project successfully published to the Apache server describe below in the original post and in Windows 10 IIS. Next modified the models.py to import rdkit and both servers gave the import error and the site would not display.
Original post:
RDKIT is the only package not loading into our production server.
We successfully set up a Wampserver to run Apache and host our Django project . . .but have to comment out all the code associated with rdkit for it to work. This inhibits many required features.
There were no issues using rdkit in Django's test server.
Primary wsgi error:
from .rdBase import rdkitVersion as __version__\r, referer: http://localhost/APP/
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.\r, referer: http://localhost/APP/
Relevant packages and version details:
Windows 10
Django 2.2
Python 3.7
conda 4.8.2
rdkit 2019.09.3 conda-forge
Wampserver 3.2
Apache 2.4.41
mod-wsgi 4.7.1
postgresql 10
The methods in this blog describe how we setup the production server. With one minor change, we did not alter the httpd_vhosts.conf file and only setup the standard localhost.
The error is reproducible by trying to import rdkit(or one of its methods) into any file needed to host a web application in the described environment.
We found this 2016 thread on the rdkit sourceforge and it sounds like someone else was having a similar problem on a Linux system. This is our first time setting up a server and we have not been successful at translating the recommended fix from linux to windows. There was no follow up to know if the recommendation was attempted let alone successful.
These 2012 slides lend us to believe someone was trying to overcome a similar issue in linux (slide 9)
How would a package need to be altered to allow it to load into a webserver?
Thank you, we greatly appreciate your time and assistance.
I have a python application that has flask dependency.
All I need is to create an RPM out of this application and with this RPM I should be able to install the dependencies to another machine.
Things I have tried,
Created a setup.py file,
setup(
name='sample-package',
version='1.0.0.0',
author="Niranj Rajasekaran",
author_email="nrajasekaran#test.com",
package_dir={'': 'src/py'},
namespace_packages=['main'],
packages=find_packages('src/py/'),
install_requires=['Flask']
)
Ran this command
python setup.py bdist_rpm
Got two RPMs in dist/, one is noarch and other is src
I tried to install noarch rpm using this
yum install {generated-file}.rpm
I am able to get sample-package-1.0.0.0.egg file in site-packages but not flask.
Two questions,
Is my approach correct?
If so what is something that I am missing?
bdist_rpm lacks of a lot of functionality and IMO is not very well maintained. E.g. pyp2rpm is much better for converting existing PyPI modules. But your module does not seem to be on PyPI, so you need to specify it to bdist_rpm manually because it cannot retrieve this information from setup.py.
Run:
python setup.py bdist_rpm --requires python-flask
This will produce an rpm file which requires the python-flask package. For more recent RHEL/Fedora it would be python3-flask.
Currently, I am facing difficulty installing difflib module in python 2.7 version in windows 10 system.
I want it to perform some text analytics analysis
tried using
apt-get install npm
npm install difflib
and
pip.exe install difflib
Solution for me was to save the difflib.py in the location where your .py file resides and then import it in your file.
install using pip should be a great idea, You can refer to the module related details here:
https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/difflib.html
If you face an issue installing it using pip, then the next way is to get the difflib.py from any working machine and keep it in the project directory itself, so that just importing the module itself will work.
This is the codebase reference from svn of python itself:
https://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Lib/difflib.py
I'm working on a django app (django-flux) and I'm trying to get it to properly install with pip from pypi. From this blog post and the distutils documentation, it seems like my setup.py and MANIFEST.in files should be including the flux/templates/flux/*.html data files, for example, but they are not included when I install the app via pip for some reason.
Any suggestion on what I am doing wrong? How can you install django templates (among other non-python files)?
For reference, I have distutils 2.7.3.
You are missing include_package_data=True in your setup function.
For more information on this you could turn to Flask's excellent documentation which covers writing a Basic Setup Script:
include_package_data tells distribute to look for a MANIFEST.in file
and install all the entries that match as package data.
Then your are importing find_packages but aren't using it so far (packages = find_packages())
