I am trying to run this Matplotlib example using Python 3. To run this I needed to install gi
first (I am using pyenv
):
$ python --version
Python 3.6.1
$ pip --version
pip 9.0.1 from /home/hakon/.pyenv/versions/3.6.1/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)
$ pip install gi

Now, running the example:
$ python toolmanager.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

print url

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'
Seems like pip
somehow installed a Python 2 version? How can I fix this?
First, pip install gi
will install another unrelated package, the correct name is pgi
. But after running:
$ pip uninstall gi
$ pip install pgi
$ python toolmanager.py
[...]

raise ImportError("Gtk3 backend requires pygobject to be installed.")
ImportError: Gtk3 backend requires pygobject to be installed.
It seems that pygobject
for Python 3 cannot be installed from PyPI. So I tried to install everything from the Ubuntu distribution package python3-gi
instead:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-gi
$ pyenv local system
$ python3 --version
Python 3.5.3
$ python3 toolmanager.py
and this works fine :)
To install for the standard python, Håkon Hægland answer is the best choice.
But for an alternate python version , one can use pip<version>
. Beware that the alternate pip has to be used to match the alternate python.
The full explanations are given in the documentation .
For instance on openSUSE (standard python version 3.6, alternate installed 3.8):
> sudo zypper install cairo-devel pkg-config python3-devel gcc gobject-introspection-devel
> pip3.8 install --user pycairo
> pip3.8 install --user PyGObject
> python3.8
