  • Installing Python
  1. The Python: Start REPL activates a terminal with the currently selected interpreter and then runs the Python REPL. For a more specific walkthrough on running code, see the tutorial. Autocomplete and IntelliSense. The Python extension supports code completion and IntelliSense using the currently selected interpreter.
  2. Apr 02, 2020  PyCharm provides methods for installing, uninstalling, and upgrading Python packages for a particular Python interpreter. By default, PyCharm uses pip to manage project packages. (such as beta or release candidate), click Show early releases. Upgrade a package. In the list of the packages, select the package to be upgraded. Click Upgrade.
  3. Luckily for us, the Mac is a great coding platform, and Python makes it easy to learn how to code on a Mac. In this feature, we're going to look at setting up Python in macOS, then learning to.
  4. Playing Video from file¶. It is same as capturing from Camera, just change camera index with video file name. Also while displaying the frame, use appropriate time for cv2.waitKey.If it is too less, video will be very fast and if it is too high, video will be slow (Well, that is how you can display videos in slow motion). 25 milliseconds will be OK in normal cases.
  5. The dynamically linking occurs when tkinter (Python 3) or Tkinter (Python 2) is first imported (specifically, the internal tkinter C extension module). By default, the macOS dynamic linker looks first in /Library/Frameworks for Tcl and Tk frameworks with the proper major version. This is the standard location for third-party or built from.

Tkinter is a graphical user interface (GUI) module for Python, you can make desktop apps with Python. You can make windows, buttons, show text and images amongst other things. Tk and Tkinter apps can run on most Unix platforms. This also works on Windows and Mac OS X. The module Tkinter is an interface to the Tk GUI toolkit.

Introduction

So you've decided to use theGoogle Data Python client library towrite an application using one of the manyGoogle Data services. Excellent choice!My aim with this short tutorial is to quickly get you started in using the client libraryto develop your application.

You probably want to jump in and start creating your application right away.First though, you may need to configureyour development environment and set up the tools you'll need to run the modules includedin the client library. Follow the steps below and you'll be running code in no time.

Installing Python

If you're going to be developing with the Python client library, you'll needa working version of Python 2.2 or higher. Many operating systems come with a versionof Python included, so you may be able to skip the installation step.To see which version of Python you have, run python -V in acommand line terminal. (Note: the V is uppercase.)This should result in something like:

If you see version 2.2 or higher, then you can startinstalling dependencies. Otherwise, look below to find installation/upgradeinstructions for your operating system.

Installing Python on Windows

There are quite a few implementations of Python to choose from in Windows, but for purposes of this guide, I'llbe using the .msi installer found on python.org.

  1. Begin by downloading the installer from the Python download page.
  2. Run the installer - you can accept all the default settings
  3. To see if your install is working as expected, open a command prompt and run python -V.

Installing Python on Mac OS X

The list of downloads on python.org has .dmg installers for the Mac users out there.Here are the steps to install one of them:

  1. Navigate to http://www.python.org/download/mac/
  2. From this page, download the installer for the appropriate version of Mac OS X. Note: The Python installation page forMac OS X 10.3.8 and below is different than newer versions of Mac OS X. To find your OS X version, chooseAbout This Mac from the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen.
  3. After the download finishes, double-click the new disk image file (ex. python-2.5-macosx.dmg) to mount it.If you're running Safari, this has already been done for you.
  4. Open the mounted image and double-click the installer package inside.
  5. Follow the installation instructions and read the information and license agreements asthey're presented to you. Again, the default settings will work fine here.
  6. Verify the installation by opening Terminal.app (in /Applications/Utilities) and running python -V.The installation's version should appear.

Installing Python on Linux

To install on Linux and other *nix style operating systems,I prefer to download the source code and compile it.However, you may be able to use your favorite package manager to install Python.(For example, on Ubuntu this can be as easy asrunning sudo apt-get install python on the command line.) To install from source, follow these steps:

  1. Download the source tarball from the Python download page.
  2. Once you've downloaded the package, unpack it using the command line. You can use the following
  3. Next, you'll need to compile and install the source code for the Python interpreter. In the decompressed directory, run ./configure to generate a makefile.
  4. Then, run make. This will create a working Python executable file in the local directory. If you don't have root permission or you just want to use Python from your home directory, you can stop here. You'll be able to run Python from this directory, so you might want to add it to your PATH environment variable.
  5. I prefer to have Python installed in /usr/bin/ where most Python scripts look for the interpreter. If you have root access, then run make install as root. This will install Python in the default location and it will be usable by everyone on your machine.
  6. Check to see if your install is working as expected by opening a terminal and running python -V.

Installing Dependencies

Currently, the only external dependency is an XML library namedElementTree.If you are using Python version 2.5 or higher, you won't need to installElementTree since it comes with the Python package.

To see if ElementTree is already present on your system, do the following:

  1. Run the Python interpreter. I usually do this by executing python on the command line.
  2. Try importing the ElementTree module. If you are using Python 2.5 or higher, enter the following in the interpreter: For older versions, enter:
  3. If the import fails, then you will need to continue reading this section. If it works, then you can skip to Installing the Google Data library.
  4. Download a version which is appropriate for your operating system. For example, if you are using Windows, download elementtree-1.2.6-20050316.win32.exe. For other operating systems, I recommend downloading a compressed version.
  5. If you are using a .tar.gz or .zip version of the library, first unpack, then install it by running ./setup.py install.

Running ./setup.py install attempts to compile the library and place it in the system directory for your Python modules. If you do not haveroot access, you can install the modules in your home directory or an alternate location by running ./setup.py install --home=~. This willplace the code in your home directory.

There is another option which avoids installing altogether. Once you decompress the download, you will find a directory named elementtree. Thisdirectory contains the modules which you will need to import. When you call import from within Python, it looks for a module with the desired name in several places. Thefirst place it looks is in the current directory, so if you are always running your code from one directory, you could just put the elementtree directorythere. Python will also look at the directories listed in yourPYTHONPATH environment variable. For instructions on editing yourPYTHONPATH,see the Appendix at the end of this article.I recommend using ./setup.py install for elementtree.

Installing the Google Data Library

Download the Google Data Python library if you haven't done so.Look for the latest version on the Python project's downloads page.

After downloading the library, unpack it using unzip or tar zxvf depending on the type of download you chose.

Now you are ready to install the library modules so that they can be imported into Python. There are several ways you can do this:

  • If you have the ability to install packages for all users to access, you can run ./setup.py install from theunpacked archive's main directory.
  • If you want to install these modules for use in your home directory, you can run ./setup.py install --home=<your home directory>.
  • In some cases, you want to avoid installing the modules altogether. To do that, modify your PYTHONPATH environment variable to includea directory which contains the gdata and atom directories for the Google Data Python client library. For instructions on modifying your PYTHONPATH,see the Appendix at the end of this article.

  • One final option that I'll mention, is copying the gdata and atom directories from the src directory into whateverdirectory you are in when you execute python.Python will look in the current directory when you do an import, but I don't recommend this method unless you are creating something quick and simple.

Once you've installed the Google Data library, you're ready to take the library for a test drive.

Running Tests and Samples

The Google Data Python client library distributions includesome test cases which are used in the development of the library. They can also serve as a quickcheck to make sure that your dependencies and library installation are working. From the top level directory where you've unpacked your copy of the library, try running:

If this script runs correctly, you should see output on the command line like this:

If you did not see any errors as the tests execute, then you have probably set up your environment correctly. Congratulations!

Accessing mac library folder. In macOS 10.7, Apple made the decision to hide the user’s Library folder by default.Your Mac’s Library folder contains important personal settings, data, and even support files that many applications require to run, so hiding this folder is a useful way of preventing users from deleting or moving crucial files by accident.

Now you can start running something more interesting. The distribution contains a samples directory which contains code which can providea starting point for writing your application. If you'd like to try out a simple interactive sample, try running ./samples/docs/docs_example.py.The Google Documents List API sample will prompt you for the email address and password for your Google account. If you have any documents or spreadsheets inGoogle Documents, you can list them by entering 1 for your selected operation. (If you don't have anydocuments or spreadsheets, you'll get a 404 error.)

If there is a particular Google Data service which interestes you, take a look at the sample for it to geta basic idea of how you can use the library. Most, but not all, of the features are demonstrated in the sample code, so you might want to take a look at the documentationfor the service you plan to work with to get a clear picture of what you can do with the API.

Appendix: Modifying the PYTHONPATH

When you import a package or module in Python, the interpreter looks for the file in a series of locationsincluding all of the directories listed in the PYTHONPATH environment variable. I often modify my PYTHONPATH topoint to modules where I have copied the source code for a library I am using. This prevents the need to install a moduleeach time it is modified because Python will load the module directly from directory which contains the modified source code.

I recommend the PYTHONPATH approach if you are making changes to the client library code, or if you do not haveadmin rights on your system. By editing the PYTHONPATH, you can put the required modules anywhere you like.

Show Python Library Mac Os

I modified my PYTHONPATH on a *nix and Mac OS X system by setting it in my .bashrc shell configuration file.If you are using the bash shell,you can set the variable by adding the following line to your ~/.bashrc file.

Show Python Library Machine

You can then apply these changes to your current shell session by executing source ~/.bashrc.

For Windows XP, pull up the Environment Variables for your profile: Control Panel > System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables. From there, you can either create or edit the PYTHONPATH variable and add the location of your local library copy.
