It sure isn't obvious how to make stuff work properly, so you can get to the actual coding part. So like, python 2.7 is just a pain in the neck in this way, by design, and supposedly 3.6 would make these problems go away? (and my guess is be unable to use probably a lot of older packages designed for python 2.x). Typing "()" in either resulted in " is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.Īnd I remember similar problems making py2exe and beautiful soup, if I recall, overly difficult to install as well. ()I opened command prompt and tried changing directory to:Ĭ:\Python27\lib\site-packages\imageio\plugins Raise NeedDownloadError('Need ffmpeg exe. io.ffmpeg_writer import ffmpeg_write_image, ffmpeg_write_videoįile "C:\myPy\moviepy\video\io\ffmpeg_writer.py", line 11, in įile "C:\myPy\moviepy\config.py", line 35, in įile "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\imageio\plugins\ffmpeg.py", line 86, in get_exe video.io.VideoFileClip import VideoFileClipįile "C:\myPy\moviepy\video\io\VideoFileClip.py", line 3, in įrom import VideoClipįile "C:\myPy\moviepy\video\VideoClip.py", line 21, in įrom. The error was: Traceback (most recent call last):įile "C:\myPy\moviepy\editor.py", line 22, in įrom. I copy/pasted the first example script here: sudo is for (admin) privledges on unix systems. Quote:What is the exact error you get? It would be better if we can see what your input/output of the command prompt is when you get such issues.īy the way you dont need sudo. As an added note, this is not the same advice I would give to Linux, Mac or *nix users. To summarize, I recommend you uninstall Python 2.7 and Python 3.3 and just install Python 3.6.3 (according to the tutorial. I would venture to say, you're most likely to have to change because of "raw_input" vs.

Do I have to uninstall 2.7 and install 3.6, thus having to slightly fix all those programs whenever I run them again to make them run on 3.6? Quote:I have like 100 small pygame programs I made in 2.7. Yet as both have matured and gained acceptance, most of those arguments are irrelevant. Plus why limit the superior capabilities of the 64 bit processor by running a 32 bit program? If you were to compare the arguments of why people were (and in some cases still are) reluctant to switch from Python 2 to Python 3, you would see they are almost identical to the reasons people still cling to 32 bit programs. For the same reason we recommend the latest version of Python, I recommend the 64 bit Python, the reason being, 32 bit programs are also on their last legs. I will diverge a bit from Metulburr's summation, by saying, in my opinion, if you have a 64 bit processor, use the 64 bit Python.
