This is a room where you can ping me for extended discussions about any of the answers I've written. Any other discussions are also welcome :-) unless they aren't personal.

I'd be glad if you read out the FAQs first.

@Hexacoordinate-C Welcome to Baker Street!

@Hippalectryon the IDLE editor asks me the current encoding of the file

utf-8

it says failed to decode

Hm can you paste the exact error ?

sure just a moment

Ah that's weird. I've never used Idle before though.

I use notepad++

I had to use notepad to edit it

now the last bit of the code looks like this

don't use idle to run it run it through the command line

alright, i'll try

@Hippalectryon I got yet another error

The first line of main.py is # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- right ?

no it's just as you've typed

When you say you used notepad for the code, you mean notepad.exe ?

yes the simple notepad that comes by default with microsoft, i had sublime text on my old pc

but rn i'm just stuck with notepad,

oh no

i understood what you mean to say, i messed up the encoding right?

It looks like for some reason your file is saved with some weird encoding

yeah

oops

let me start afresh, and thanks a lot for your support

:-)

- brb, dinner -

take your time and enjoy the meal!

Looking right

Hello!

World!

haha

Reminds me of my Den, though I'm not sure why I started it...

Think to discuss things too, but not only my answers.

I got the inspiration from one of the mod who started "Desk#

@BerryHolmes hmm? Where?

Let me search, just a moment

chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/58064/miths-desk

And then I stumbled across your den :-)

@ShadowWizard there you go

@BerryHolmes Hehe, you never said "hello" there! ;)

haha true indeed, the place was eerily quite

Well, Den isn't "official" place to get help from me like this room, but I usually won't refuse to give help. :)

@BerryHolmes on Sunday whole MSE is quiet... even Tavern.

Aha :) I see

So, is this your real picture in the avatar?

thanks I would definitely ask help from you in case :)

no this is my friend

@BerryHolmes sure thing, you can either there or here, I'm stick around. :)

thanks a lot :)

@BerryHolmes oh, she knows she's in your profile? ;)

haha she was a bit angry about this yesterday, but she didn't ask me to put it down either

- back -

welcome back, here's a new error

No module named 'requests'

I'm learning how to install modules

Oh, yeah, you need to install some python modules. Before that, did you install python 2.7 or 3.x ?

It is 3.6.1

should I've installed 2.7?

Well, I run the code with 2.7, so I don't know if it's compatible with 3.x

coding horror screams

From where do I download the packages tho?

two options

1) use pip from the command line : pip install packageName

2) lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs

I recommend the second option, it's easier, and you can be sure you're picked the right version

the second option looks better.. yeah

and then what do i do with the .whl file

there should be .exe too

Ctrl+F in the page and then "requests" leads me only to an .whl file

pypi.python.org/pypi/requests/2.14.2 on this page there's a .tar file tho

ah damn :( we'll have to use pip

oh :o

hm

do pip install requests

okie doing

How's it going ?

Finished processing dependencies for requests yaaaay

now i think i've to repeat the procedure for simplecrypt

oh, the package is named simple-crypt for pip

ah alright, downloaded it

i was confused for a moment

simplecrypto or simple-crypt haha thanks :)

same thing for Crypto

:-)

@Hippalectryon i installed crypto but still it says no module named "Crypto"

umm well, how do i do it using pip? I've been downloading the .tar files and then extracting them and installing them using python..

pip is not recognized as an internal/external command

oh

bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

i've entered python -m pip install -U pip setuptools into cmd as per the documentation

Run that script, then try pip and see if the command works

no :( still getting the same error

Did the script throw any kind of error ? (the get_pip)

just a moment

i'll try it once more

wheel was not installed. done

no still the same error am I doing something wrong

close the command line and open a new one, same error ?

perhaps something about version 3.x?

Oh maybe it's not in your environment variables

You have windows 10 ?

no it's windows 8

Not a problem, same issue

let me do it through the tar method

In the start menu search for "environment variable"

You should have a result like "edit environment variables", run it

basically follow that github.com/Langoor2/PokemonGo-Map-FAQ/wiki/….

runned

When you've added the env variables, don't forget to close the command line and run a new one to refresh the changes

oh i forgot that

yyyyyaaaaaaaayyyyyy

it's working!!!

:DDDD

thank u soooo muchhh

:( mom's telling me to turn off the computer but this is so interesting

I'll be here tomorrow evening too :-)

haha can we continue this tomorrow?

thanks a lot for your help!

np :D

goodnight!
