Python can be a great tool for Search Marketers allowing us to automate repetitive tasks and work with large data sets to analyse trends. This is ideal for marketing industries such as automotive and retail due to it’s saturation. If you’re new to python, there are a number of different issues you might run into even when setting up your environments. Below is one of the most common, highly relevant if you’re working through a guide or textbook such as Automate The Boring Stuff

Import module works in Terminal but not in IDLE

When using python in IDLE on Mac, each python installation has it’s own …/lib/site-packages for 3rd party modules. Depending on your installation method (using the regular pip install package-name) terminal won’t allow you to import them when using IDLE.

This isn’t ideal, as there are a number of different libraries you won’t be able to live without – luckily this is easy to solve.

How to import Modules to IDLE on MAC

  1. Locate the system path

    2. Enter “import sys; sys.executable” into your IDLE shell.

    This will give you your file path which will be needed in terminal, see step 1 image below.

  2. Open Terminal and Enter…

    3. python-path -m pip install package-name


    This, for example, will install the Matplotlib plotting library

  3. Test if working

    4. Terminal will now install, and your modules will work within IDLE. While this isn’t the most future-proofed way of doing things, it does allow you to get back to programming without having to worry.

Python

Further information on IDLE

what is IDLE python?

IDLE stands for Integrated Development and Learning Environment. IDLE is essentially a simple IDE (Integrated Development Environment), suitable for Python novices and beginners, often used for educational purposes.

While IDLE is a great place to start, other IDEs offer far more functionality. My personal favourite is Pycharm made by JetBrain, I’d recommend giving it a try as it integrates tools and libraries such as NumPy and Matplotlib while also supporting other widely used programming languages.

In this lesson, we’ll take a look at how we can install Python. Before January 1, 2020, there were two Python versions:

  • Python 2.x
  • Python 3.x

Python 2.0 was released in 2000 and the latest version, 2.7, was released in 2010. Python 3.0 is from 2008. Python 2.x and 3.x are very similar but there are some (syntax) differences. Because Python 2.x is older, there is still a lot of code out there written for Python 2.x.

Tkinter

Since January 1, 2020, Python 2.7 is retired. When you download Python, it will be the latest 3.x version.

Installation

Idle Python Download For Mac

Let’s see how we can install Python on different operating systems.

Python Tkinter Install

In this lesson, we'll take a look at how we can install Python. Before January 1, 2020, there were two Python versions: Python 2.x Python 3.x Python 2.0 was released in 2000 and the latest version, 2.7, was released in 2010. Python 3.0 is from 2008. Python 2.x and 3.x are very similar but there are

Linux and Mac OS X

Linux and Mac OS are easy because Python is pre-installed on Mac OS X and most Linux distributions. You can check the Python version from the command line. For example, let’s see what Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has pre-installed:

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS comes with Python 2.7 and 3.6.9 pre-installed.

If you want the latest version on Mac OS X, you can always grab it from Python.org MAC OS X downloads. For Linux, upgrading Python depends on your Linux distribution.

Windows

Microsoft Windows 10 doesn’t come with Python pre-installed, so we’ll have to install it ourselves. Head over to Python.org downloads and download the installation file:


Open the installation file and you’ll see the following screen:

The installation is straightforward but I would suggest clicking on the “Add Python 3.x to PATH” checkbox. This means you can run Python anywhere from the command line, not just from the folder where it is installed. Hit the Install Now button and you only have to wait a minute for the installation to complete:

Once the installation is successful, click on Close and we are done:

In your start menu, you will find some new items:

This completes our installation.

Verification

There are two ways to run Python:

    • Integrated Development and Learning Environment (IDLE): Python’s built-in Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
    • CLI: You can start Python from the command line.

Let’s try both options.

IDLE

Click on the IDLE icon in your Windows 10 start menu:

You’ll see a white screen with a Python shell:

The >>> that you see above, is the prompt of the interactive Python interpreter. This means you can type Python code and the interpreter will execute it right away. Here is a quick example:

Python

You can also save Python files and execute them later. Click on “New File” in the “File” menu:

You’ll get a blank screen where you can type your Python code:

Click on “Save” or “Save As” in the “File” menu:

Enter your filename. I’ll go for “hello-world.py”:

Now you can click on “Run Module” under the “Run” menu to execute your code:

You will see the output of your code in the Python shell:

That’s how we execute Python code.

Python IDLE gets the job done, and is a fine IDE to learn the basics of Python. As a beginner, it’s a good idea to stick to IDLE for now so you don’t get overwhelmed by IDE features. For larger projects, there are IDEs that are easier to work with. We’ll cover this in the IDE lesson.
CLI

You can also start the Python interpreter from the CLI:

Let’s run some code:

If you want to exit, type exit():

You can also run a Python file directly. For example, let’s try to run the “hello-world.py” file we created with IDLE:

That’s how we can use the CLI to run Python code.

Trinket.io

To explain Python, I could use “static” code examples as I did above and show the output. There is a better way though. In all the upcoming Python lessons, I use trinket.io for code. With trinket.io I can share code, and you can run it interactively from this website without having to install anything. Trinket.io runs Python through Javascript on your own computer. You can see immediately what the code does and even edit it if you want to try something yourself.

With trinket.io we have two options to run our Python code, similar to how you run code on your own computer:

  • Start the interactive Python interpreter.
  • Save and run .py files.

I use both options in our lessons. Here is an example of the Python interpreter which executes our code automatically:

Tkinter Download For Windows 10

In the trinket above, you can see the >_ button. This means we use the Python interpreter. Below is an example where we use a .py file. You need to click on the > arrow to execute the code:

In the trinket above, the > button means we execute a .py file. You can move the separation bar between the two panes to see more of the code or the output if needed.

If you don’t use the trinkets for a while after loading the webpage, it will show a message that the connection to the server timed out. You can use the >_ or > button to re-run your code.
