From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

(Solved) Question about Python-packages (discuss.tchncs.de)

submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by James_Ryan@discuss.tchncs.de to c/linux@lemmy.ml

17 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm having a fair share of problems with OpenSuse Tumbleweed and python atm.

Coming from Linux Mint and windows.

Installing python-packages with pip was pretty easy.

But I have trouble understanding how to install the following packages on TumbleWeed:

tkCalendar

yaml for Python(311)

When I try to use pip I get prompted to use zypper.

I am stuck at this point. Do I have to use something different than zypper? What is the correct way here?

Help very much appreciated and thank you in advance!

--- Update ---

**Thanks everyone for the help! **

I could succesfully create a virtual enviroment in my Visualstudio Code and installed the needed libraries. The next step for me would be to create a executable package.

An alternative is to use pipx : https://pipx.pypa.io/stable

Overview: What is pipx?

pipx is a tool to help you install and run end-user applications written in Python. It's roughly similar to macOS's brew, JavaScript's npx, and Linux's apt.

It's closely related to pip. In fact, it uses pip, but is focused on installing and managing Python packages that can be run from the command line directly as applications. How is it Different from pip?

pip is a general-purpose package installer for both libraries and apps with no environment isolation. pipx is made specifically for application installation, as it adds isolation yet still makes the apps available in your shell: pipx creates an isolated environment for each application and its associated packages.

pipx does not ship with pip, but installing it is often an important part of bootstrapping your system.

I installed pipx with "zypper install python311-pipx".

But I can't find a way to install the damn tkcalendar with it -> https://pypi.org/project/tkcalendar/#files

Feeling like an idiot here.

This really cant be that hard..

Does the command pipx install tkcalendar give errors ?

[–] James_Ryan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes:

Note: Dependent package 'babel' contains 1 apps
  - pybabel

No apps associated with package tkcalendar. Try again with '--include-deps' to include apps of dependent packages, which are listed above. If you are attempting to install a library, pipx
should not be used. Consider using pip or a similar tool instead.

Hmm. I see that the software is about five years old. The last comment in this thread is maybe useful ? https://github.com/j4321/tkcalendar/issues/79
