Install cx_Oracle for python 3.4 in Ubuntu - python-3.4

Please help me installing cx_Oracle for python 3.4.
I am able to install it for python 2.7 using the below method.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DwbOozQrZ8
however it is not working for 3.4. Please help me.

First, make sure you have the instant client installed on your machine and you are able to connect to your database with SQL*Plus. Also make sure you have the instant client development package installed on your machine.
Second, run the command
pip install cx_Oracle
This will download the source package and build. If you are using the instant client nothing else needs to be done.

My Django 1.8.4 works perfectly with cx_Oracle Python 2.7 set on Linux, but it's not even mentioned that latest cx_Oracle supports Python 3.4 for Linux (for Win it does). As result attempt pip install cx_Oracle gets
distutils.errors.DistutilsSetupError: cannot locate Oracle include files

OpenMDAO installation

I need openmdao on windows 8 to run an aerostructutal optimization code that uses it but I’m having issues in the installation process. I installed numpy and scipy through pip in the cmd and then also openmdao using pip install openmdao but when I try to run a .py with copied inside the code at the bottom of this page, I get an error about “Component” not being found to import. What am I doing wrong ?
Some codes are written for a specific version of OpenMDAO. If you are using OpenAeroStruct, it requires OpenMDAO 1.7.4, not OpenMDAO 2.2.x.
To obtain the correct version, you would need to use the command pip install openmdao==1.7.4 or to download and install the source directly from here: https://github.com/OpenMDAO/openmdao1, following the instructions on the README, not on readthedocs.

chocolatey: meteor v0.0.2 is the latest version available based on your source(s)

I follow the instructions to install meteor 1.6 on Windows(10) as stated on Meteor.com (choco install meteor) and it's installed a meteor v0.0.2 ?
When I try to run any meteor command I get: bash: meteor: command not found
and when I try choco upgrade meteor I get:
$ choco upgrade meteor
Chocolatey v0.10.8
Upgrading the following packages:
meteor
By upgrading you accept licenses for the packages.
meteor v0.0.2 is the latest version available based on your source(s).
Chocolatey upgraded 0/1 packages.
See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).
I tried choco uninstall meteor and then reinstall choco instlal meteor but same issue. Searching around online a little I found this page:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/meteor
I do have meteor installed and running on version 1.6.0.1 on Window 10's Ubuntu bash which was installed via curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
Following on from above post https://stackoverflow.com/a/47967277/642729 by Gary Ewan Park. The below comment on https://chocolatey.org/packages/meteor clarifies the Chocolately/Meteor versioning
The current version of Meteor is 1.6;
is this the version in the 0.0.2 Chocolatey package?
[Garrie Powers • 2 months ago]
The version number of the Chocolatey package is the version of the installer.
Meteor is unique in the way it works in that all versions
are capable of springboarding to other versions.
Therefore, in the same way as the Unix installer installs the latest version,
the Chocolatey installer will always install the latest version.
So at this exact moment, the answer to your question is "yes"!
[Jesse Rosenberger Garrie Powers • 2 months ago]
The best advice would be to reach out to the maintainers of that package of chocolatey.org. This can be done by clicking on the "Contact Maintainers" link of this page:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/meteor
It would seem that the creators of the application, also own the Chocolatey package, so hopefully they will get back to you.
From the official installer github:
The version of this Meteor installer is not to be confused with Meteor itself. Meteor, once installed, will always "springboard" to (download, install and run) the correct version of Meteor necessary for the application being executed.
...
When necessary, specific versions of Meteor can be installed using
Chocoloatey's --params argument which will download that specific
version from Meteor's installation server. For example, to install
Meteor 1.5.4.4:
C:> choco install meteor --params="'/RELEASE:1.6.0.1'"
Note: Prior to
Meteor 1.6, 64-bit versions were not available. Therefore, in order to
install versions prior to Meteor 1.6, you'll also need to pass
Chocolatey's --x86 option when running choco install on 64-bit Windows
platforms. For example:
C:> choco install meteor --x86 --params="'/RELEASE:1.5.4.4'"

pip says that module has already been installed while python

Now a bit of background of my current setup:
I have Python3.3 running on Centos 6. I'm currently working on a web application using Flask that runs on Apache 2.2.15 with mode WSGI 4.5.3 and virtualenv 15.0.2.
pip --version pip 8.1.2 from /usr/local/bin/lib/python3.3/site-packages (python 3.3)
I have installed pysvn with pip and when I run pip show pysvn says
Location: /usr/local/bin/lib/python3.3/site-packages
755 permissions recursively set to /usr/local/bin/lib/python3.3/site-packages. And I passed --system-site-packages argument to virtualenv to use the global site packages.
Even when I try to import the package from python interpreter it does not work. So it is not specific to my virtualenv setup but rather a global problem.
I must mention that other packages installed with pip work perfectly fine (i.e. flask).
I've exhausted all other avenues before coming forward to you guys. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated as I ran out of ideas.
L.E.
I did manage to install it in the end. I'm not completly sure yet why and how but I presume is was compatibility issue.
First of all I have uninstalled svn 1.6+ and installed version 1.8.16 instead which seems to be tested against the latest two versions.
Second, I have uninstalled the troublesome pysvn instance and installed pysvn-1.8.0 workbench "sudo /var/www/FlaskApp/FlaskApp/flask/bin/pip install pysvn-1.8.0.tar.gz". In this case I have installed it my local environment. The 1.9.0 version of pysvn did not work.
L.L.E.
False positive, still doesn't work. I'm going to interact with svn via command line from my script.
L.L.L.E.
After installing svn 1.8.16 and svn-devel along with the rest of dependencies described in the readme file I have managed to successfully install it from the source fallowing the instructions.
Thanks for your help Barry.
pysvn is not available from PyPI because PyPI has no way to allow me to upload pysvn for each supported SVN version. Let alone deal with the issues of installing on a Linux distro given the choices for pysvn dependencies.
(APR, SVN, OpenSSL etc).
Fedora packages pysvn for the Fedora release.
I'm assuming that means it is on RHEL and therefore packaged by CentOS.
(But I do not have RHEL or CentOS to check this on)
If you find that a package is not available for your CentOs is not hard
to build pysvn on a linux distro. Get the source kit and follow the readme.html should get you going.

Installing RIDE(Robot Framework)

For automated testing on RIDE(Robot framework), I had already installed PYTHON 2.6 and wxPython 3.0 version,PATH had already been updated in Environment variables, and when I jumped to the last phase i.e Installing RIDE(version -"robotframework-ride-1.3.win32.exe") through Windows Installer, application is been installed when I try to through "Run as Administrator", it was unable to open the IDE. How I can resolve this issue?
I installed RIDE a few days ago with no problem.
First you need to install python like you did (run the command: "python --version" to verify the installation).
After that, you will need to install Robot Framework (run the command: "pybot --version" to verify the installation)
If Robot Framework was sucessfully installed then it's time to install wxpython (choose the right installation, depending on the python version installed)
Finally you only need to install RIDE and it should work
You can follow the steps given below to install robotframework.
Install Python 2.7.1
RIDE runs only on the regular Python, not on Jython nor IronPython.
Download Python 2.7.1
Install Python 2.7.1.
Set the path in environment variable. (Look below for instructions )
Note: Python 2.6 is the minimum version. Robot Framework, RIDE does not yet support Python3 .
Set path on Windows 8 (Windows 7 users also can try the steps)
Open Start and
search Environment Variables
Click on Edit the system environment variables
Goto Advanced tab
Click on Environment Variables button
Scroll down under System variables and click on Path
Click on Edit button
Append ;<InterpreterInstallationDir>;<InterpreterInstallationDir>\Scripts\ in variable value Save the changes.
If command prompt is already open, then re-open command prompt to effectively take changes.
Install wxPython 2.8.12.1
It is necessary to install wxPython because RIDE’s GUI is implemented by using wxPython.
Download wxPython 2.8.12.1 directly from https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.10/python-2.7.10.msi
Run the installer and finish the setup. This will install wxPython 2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.12.1 on your system.
Install PIP 1.1
To install PIP follow the step by step instruction provided here http://arunrocks.com/guide-to-install-python-or-pip-on-windows/
Install Robotframework 2.9rc1
Using Command Prompt
You can install RIDE by using the pip or easy_install commands.
Run either of the following command to install Robotframework:
pip install robotframework ride
OR
easy_install robotframework ride
After the installation of RIDE, run the following command:
`ride.py` (this will launch RIDE )
Using Windows Installer
Download robotframework-RIDE 1.4:
You can download RIDE installer for windows version from
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/r/robotframework-ride/robotframework-ride-1.4.tar.gz
Open the installer and follow the onscreen instructions. After installation, launch RIDE by double clicking the shortcut icon.
This should resolve the issue.
Thank you :)
You probably have the different versions for wxPython and Python in your machine. Always make sure you should install the wxPython version same as the python version i.e. Python 2.7.

Installing iPDC Unix Programme

I am trying to install iPDC on a Centos unix laptop.
I am getting a make error when I attempt to install the programme - I have attached a screenshot of my problem.
The command run is sudo make install and I am attempting to install as the root user.
Your installed GTK version is probably too old to support this software. GtkBuilder (a component within GTK) showed up at version 2.12. To find out what version you have, run pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 at the command line. But that version has been around for quite some time. What version Centos are you running? I assume 5, which is quite old.
Upgrading GTK can be tricky, as most of your desktop software relies on it. If you're in for an adventure, the "easiest" would be to upgrade your Centos OS (to 6.x). You might be able to compile a more recent GTK from source and keep it separate from your system GTK, but that will take some patience.
It seems that GTK is not installed.
Try something like: yum install gtk2 or yum install gtk2-devel
