For some months I learn programming with python. I use Pyzo with its IEP (Interactive Editor for Python) on my Windows 7 computer. Pyzo is available from www.pyzo.org/index.html.
In Pyzo, it is very easy to execute python-code or just several lines of code. Another advantage of Pyzo is, that it is user-friendly and easy to use. Furthermore, some packages like numpy, scipy or matplotlib are preinstalled.
My specifications are
- IEP version: 3.3.dev (source)
- Platform: win32
- Python version: 3.3.2
- Qt version: 4.8.4
- PySide version: 1.2.1
Recently I developed the wish to install new packages into Pyzo. To be able to do this I had to put Pyzo to the registry. Hence I executed the command
pyzo_activate
in the windows command prompt. Afterwards I was able to install a package called scitools. Then I intended to install the package pyephem from http ://rhodesmill.org/pyephem/. I downloaded the windows installer file ephem-3.7.5.3.win32-py3.3.exe from the site https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ephem/. Now, if I start the installation process by executing the installer, the installer does not find python3.3 in the registry. Does anyone know remedy? How can I install pyephem into Pyzo?
I have the same problem, if I try to install the package astropy via the windows installer astropy-0.4.2.win32-py3.3.exe from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/astropy/0.4.2. In this case, python3.3 isn't recognized, too.
It would be very kind, if somebody could give me help. Otherwise I encourage the developers of pyephem and astropy to make future versions able to be installed into Pyzo.
According to Pyzo's website, Pyzo uses Conda for package installations. You should be able to do the following:
You should not expect unpaid developers to port their code to every permutation of Python environments out there. These alternate Python environments should include a way to install packages. Fortunately in this case, conda was there to assist with this.
