Long live the snapshot!

There is pip3 in stable repo: python3-pip. So just going to MX Package Installer, clicking on "Stable Repo" tab, entering "python3-pip" into search field box, would solve all for you.kickout wrote: Tue Jun 09, 2020 5:36 pm ... and i cant install kivy with pip3 cause pip3 also is not in repos.
Code: Select all
python3-pip
python3-venv
Code: Select all
python3 -m venv ./myenv <= run this inside your project folder to create virt. env.
source ./myenv/bin/activate <= run this inside your project folder to activate it
pip install --upgrade pip <= upgrade pip to the latest version (NOTE: pip, not pip3 when in your virt. env.)
pip install >your py packages such as kivi etc...<
then run your IDE...
Why did you have to switch to i386?kickout wrote: Mon Sep 07, 2020 5:49 am Uuhhh, i had to switch from amd64 to i386
I switched and now kivi is installed but i have to check if all works with i386 in the next days. If not, me can wait for the amd64 version.
Well, it is not RTFM, in MX case it is RTEM - E stands for Excellent! You are really missing out if you are not giving it a shot.kickout wrote: Tue Jun 09, 2020 6:59 pm Yes, you are right. Unfortunately, RTFM is what I often do last :(
Ah, normally if i install python i have pip or pip3 included. But it was not included what is not the normal behavier for a standard Python install. So me searched after pip3 in stable repo but do find nothing. Then me thought "ok, then most packages of phython3 are in the epo without the need of pip3" and i searched for python3-kivy. But it was not there. And then i asked what to do to get it.Buck Fankers wrote: Mon Sep 07, 2020 12:06 pmThere is pip3 in stable repo: python3-pip.

But you really want to install py libraries into contained environment, to avoid in the future some python related library interference with your systems libraries.
So, these are best steps to use per my understanding. From MXPI get:
Then create virtual environment (myenv) and install your py libraries there:Code: Select all
python3-pip python3-venv
And by doing so, you wouldn't tie MX developer hands for a whileCode: Select all
python3 -m venv ./myenv <= run this inside your project folder to create virt. env. source ./myenv/bin/activate <= run this inside your project folder to activate it pip install --upgrade pip <= upgrade pip to the latest version (NOTE: pip, not pip3 when in your virt. env.) pip install >your py packages such as kivi etc...< then run your IDE...

Thx. I only unpacked the i386 from the download link you provided and did not recognize that there is a amd64 too. It works.SwampRabbit wrote: Mon Sep 07, 2020 12:11 pmWhy did you have to switch to i386?kickout wrote: Mon Sep 07, 2020 5:49 am Uuhhh, i had to switch from amd64 to i386

I don't know why you'd have to wait I submitted kivy amd64 and i386.
I just installed kivy amd64 and it installed fine.
I tested kivy with some of the simple examples on their website.
I didn't realized original post is few months old. I was responding to your post posted few hours before I responded. Where was I when you asked? I don't log in every day. Sometimes I don't log in for week or longer. Obviously I didn't see it, or I would have answered. "holding it silence when there was a need" implicates, I deliberately didn't want to help. You like to accuse others, like this?kickout wrote: Mon Sep 07, 2020 2:49 pm
And now to you:
Where were you when i had the problem and the question what to do?
What you think who you are with your big mouth, holding it silence when there was a need
