I'm learning Python 3.7, and Sublime Text3. Most programs run fine using control + b, but when I try to import a module from the standard library like random, I get the following error(Please note that I am not running the program from OneDrive, but from my own computer!)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\chris\OneDrive\Documents\Python Programs\guess.py", line 1, in <module>
import random
File "C:\Users\chris\OneDrive\Documents\Python Programs\random.py", line 1
>>> import os
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Obviously the OneDrive thing is a problem ,but what can I do?
Many thanks.
The part of the error message that you want to focus on here is the last part of the stack trace, which is showing you the line that has the problem and where the problem is, i.e.:
>>> import os
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Based on this, your input file has the characters >>> in front of the import statement which, as the message indicates, is not valid Python syntax. Removing those characters should solve the problem for you. The line immediately above the error is showing you the name of the file that has the problem (in this case random.py).
The >>> is the prompt that the interactive Python interpreter gives you when you run it, as it's prompting you for what text to enter. That's not something that should appear in your code at all.
Check the random.py file, as the error message states, it's a syntax error due to the the >>> repl symbol in there.

I'm trying to parse text from pdf file. while I was doing tutorial of how to PyPDF2 I got the following error. I did the search for an answer but ended up finding none. Any Help will be greatly appreciated.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:/text_recognizer/main.py", line 4, in <module>

File "D:\KimKanna's Class\python27\lib\site-packages\PyPDF2\pdf.py", line 1689, in read

IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument
here is fullcode
import PyPDF2
with open(".\\pdf\\test_sample.pdf","rb") as input:
inputStream = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(input)
In my case the .pdf I wanted to open is empty and not closed from previous python code in powershell(cmd prompt). So, when I tried to delete those files it says 'Close the file and try again'. (that was my "AHaa" moment)
So I stopped the py.exe from my Windows task manager and deleted those empty, not closed files. Then I run the same code with another files, It worked fine.. :)
While working the examples in a book on Parallel Programming in Python, I encountered the following error in code that uses the multiprocessing queue:
File "C:\pyDev\multiproc\queue-test.py", line 4, in <module>
queue = multiprocessing.Queue()
File "C:\Anaconda3\Lib\multiprocessing\context.py", line 100, in Queue
from .queues import Queue
File "C:\Anaconda3\Lib\multiprocessing\queues.py", line 20, in <module>
from queue import Empty, Full
builtins.ImportError: cannot import name 'Empty'
After some experimentation, I determined that all it takes to generate this error is the following code (which is the entirety of the queue-test.py file mentioned in the error message above).
import multiprocessing
if __name__ == "__main__":
queue = multiprocessing.Queue()
I'm running Python 3.5.1 with Anaconda 4.1.0 on a machine with Windows 7. I have ported the code above and the example from the book to another machine with Python 2.7.11 with Anaconda 2.5.0, with Windows 10 and it works fine on that machine.
Thinking that perhaps there was a corrupt file or other issue with my Python installation, I tried reinstalling Anaconda and it did not help. I performed a Google search and did not find this particular error. Other stackoverflow postings such as the one found here: ImportError: Cannot import name X don't appear to be relevent because this involves part of the Python standard library and not code and classes I wrote myself.
I encountered almost the same error in my code and finally figure out where went wrong. Hope it will help you somehow.
I named my python script as "queue.py", and then I run it, I got error info. below just like yours:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:/02_Coding/01_Projects/PyHomeWork/Day23_Process/queue.py", line 19, in <module>
queue = multiprocessing.Queue()
File "E:\02_CodingSoftware\02_Installed\Anaconda3\lib\multiprocessing\context.py", line 101, in Queue
from .queues import Queue
File "E:\02_CodingSoftware\02_Installed\Anaconda3\lib\multiprocessing\queues.py", line 20, in <module>
from queue import Empty, Full
ImportError: cannot import name 'Empty'
I use the below method to create a Queue:
if __name__ =="__main__":
queue = multiprocessing.Queue()
Finally, I notice that I should not named the file in a name of "queue.py", it seems it will cause a misleading to python when it interpreter the script. And after I rename the script, the error is gone. What a stupid mistake, LoL.
So my suggestion is maybe you can check whether under your folder is there a script named as "queue.py" or any custom module would conflict with that in libraries.
Hope you can solve the issue. Best
I am currently working with Gurobi solver using python. Previously, I have just been using a mix of a text editor and the terminal to write and run my models but I am currently experimenting with using Enthought Canopy Editor. I have a model that is works when I run in in the terminal using python model.py but when I try doing%run model.py in Canopy's iPython shell I get:
%run /home/cdhagmann/Copy/Code_Env/Farmer/model.py

My guess is that the terminal and Canopy look for modules in different places but I don't know how to rectify it. I found this reference on the Gurobi group site about Enthought Canopy and Gurobi on OS X 10.8 but didn't know how much those instruction would differ from doing it on Linux and even what he meant about installing Gurobi in Canopy's site-packages.
UPDATE: Based on information found the first link I clicked on, I did in fact leave the boxed clicked making Canopy my default directory. You have to manually prepend the PATH variable, which I missed them saying that I had to do. So I did that. I now have Canopy's version of iPython running in my terminal (check by using sys.path); however, I get a huge list of errors when I try run python.

If the terminal is correctly configured for Canopy Python, then python in terminal and Canopy Python should be looking for modules in the same places. If during installation, you disabled "make Canopy be default Python", or if you have not restarted terminal since installation, then it won't automatically be configured correctly.
These articles should help you understand and configure:

I'm brand new to Python programming and trying to get myself a functional base from which I can run things like the IPython Notebook which looks pretty exciting.
Thus far I have both Python 2.7 and 3.3 from python.org installed in OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) as well as ActiveTcl 8.5.13. Almost everything that I've tried thus far works as expected. I'm focused on learning 3.3, but want to have the option of using 2.7 too. I read up in several documents that I need to start gaining access to PyPI packages using a Python package manager and that distribute is the one I should use for 3k. So I installed that according to the documentation I found and it seemed to work fine.
I also installed pip as directed, and a number of others.
At this point, I have:
$ pip freeze
distribute==0.6.34
ipython==0.13.1
nose==1.2.1 (installed after IPython)
pexpect==2.4 (installed after IPython)
pyflakes3k==0.4.3
readline==6.2.4.1 (installed after IPython)
At this point, I'm doing this from ipython.org guidance
And when I did $ easy_install pexpect, I got a bunch of errors:
$ easy_install pexpect

That looks bad to me (although I don't yet have the expertise to really interpret it), and so I'm not sure if I have a complete install of pexpect.
After installing nose (before pexpect as per URL above), I tried running iptest and iptest3 from the command line, and both failed to find the command, but after I did easy_install ipython again (after nose), I noticed that this install added iptest3 (as well as ipcluster3 and a few other scripts) to my path, and now my bash shell can find iptest3, but when I run it, I get some more bad-looking output:
$ iptest3

After doing all that, I noted that my /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current had been pointing to 2.7, and I guessed that that might be related to my problems and changed the symbolic link to point to 3.3, but iptest3 still fails with the error above.
Any other thoughts on what to do to fix this? It's clear that iptest is pretty important to doing anything else (like IPython Notebook) I want to do.
There is a py3-compatible fork of pexpect called pexpect-u (the u is for unicode, the main difference between the two). You need this to run the pexpect-based parts of IPython on Python 3.
Should be a simple
pip install pexpect-u
side note: pexpect-u is by IPython developer Thomas Kluyver, who did most of the heavy lifting bringing py3 compatibility to IPython.
I'm using the execnet package to allow communication between Python scripts interpreted by different Python interpreters.
The following code (test_execnet.py):
import execnet
for python_version in ('python', 'python3'):
try:
gw = execnet.makegateway("popen//python="+python_version)
ch = gw.remote_exec('channel.send(1/3)')
res = ch.receive()
print(python_version, ': ', res, sep ="")
except:
print('problems with ', python_version)
Runs perfectly in the command-line Terminal, showing the following output:
$ python3 test_execnet.py
python: 0
python3: 0.333333333333
However, if I try to run the same code from within the Eclipse IDE, I get the following error:

seems like pydev does site-customizations and particularly modifies things for interactive/console usage (judging from a very quick skim of http://github.com/aptana/Pydev/blob/master/plugins/org.python.pydev/pysrc/pydev_sitecustomize/sitecustomize.py ). This is not useful or fitting for execnet-mediated processes.
You could try to "del os.environ['PYTHONPATH']" before you invoke execnet.makegateway, or, to be more careful, just delete the sitecustomize part of it.

I have seen that when python was unable to find its landmark. Which that indicates there is a PYTHONHOME problem.
Check out http://docs.python.org/using/cmdline.html#envvar-PYTHONHOME maybe eclipse is screwing your environment up.
Edit:
Looked at your env dumps, looks like eclipse is definitely messing with PYTHONPATH, which will cause your child python processes to not work correctly.
Basically what you have going on here is eclipse starts a python v2 instance with a PYTHONPATH pointing to the python v2 directories. Then you spawn a python v3 process which tries to load its landmark from the python v2 directories...
You need to find a way to have eclipse not mess with the PYTHONPATH. I am not sure what eclipse is trying to do by doing that, but it is certainly no friend when you want to spawn new python processes.
