[SOLVED] ImportError: No module named win32_ctrls

[blackwind]

From EventGhost 0.4.1r1610:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  Python script "7", line 1, in <module>
    caption = eg.plugins.Window.GrabText(False)[0]
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\Window\__init__.py", line 529, in __call__
    from win32_ctrls import win32_ctrls
ImportError: No module named win32_ctrls

Can we get a fix?

This is weird. The file win32_ctrls.py should be located in the ...\ plugins\Window.
And when I look, I see it there as well as in the SVN repository it exists.

I don't follow; what actions were taken to change the status of this thread to SOLVED? I'm getting the same error in my Python Script actions. Specifically, I'd like to use lxml.

According to blackwind's post at https://github.com/EventGhost/EventGhost/issues/75:

None of the core functions or plugins use those packages. That's why they are missing.

Yep. Specifically, they were removed because of #20. You no longer have to petition Pako to include modules you want to use -- just install Python 2.7 (x86 version, as it has to match EventGhost), run pip install paramiko psutil, and EventGhost will pick them up.

I've installed the version of Python you referenced but unable to get EventGhost to overcome, "ImportError: No module named pip"

Appreciate any direction on what I'm doing wrong here, thank you gents.

OK

You need to install Python 2.7 x86
then install the package using the pip in that python.

c:\Python27\Scripts\pip install psutil

after the library installs then restart eventghost.

[kgschlosser]

using either pip or easy_install from a frozen environment is hit or miss.

frozen = python and all of it's libraries packaged up with an application into an executable.

OK

You need to install Python 2.7 x86
then install the package using the pip in that python.

c:\Python27\Scripts\pip install psutil

Thank you for your input; I'm certain I'm missing something small but important still...

Installed blackwind's suggested/linked Python 2.7, ran
C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts\win_add2path.py,
then your suggestion and my target module with this output from the command line:

Looks good to me, correct?

Unfortunately, two EventGhost restarts later, I still receive in EventGhost's log:
ImportError: No module named lxml

Thought pip being out of date, in some crazy unforeseen manner, *might* have something to do with it so I updated that, rechecked psutil and lxml using "python -m pip install --upgrade psutil" and restarted EventGhost again to find, "Requirement already up-to-date [...]" and the same ImportError when testing my script to import lxml.

I'll keep digging; it's gotta be something simple!

Edit: In fact, just replaced lxml with pip: same result. poo

[kgschlosser]

OK you problem is simple...

Upgrade to EG 0.5

this feature is not available in 0.4.x

[Cypher16e]

High five!!

Uninstalled EventGhost 0.4 Stable,
Installed EventGhost 0.5 RC6

Works -- Thank you so much!




Edit: I've included my notes of exactly how I accomplished this for other newbs:

1)
Install EventGhost (0.5 or greater)
Open EventGhost, hit Ctrl+O and load your script file (.xml),
then close EventGhost

2)
Install python-2.7.12 (x86 version to match EventGhost -- I used blackwind's suggestion at https://github.com/EventGhost/EventGhos ... -239641187 )

3)
open cmd.exe (hit Windows button or click Start then type "cmd"),
type "cd /python27\tools\scripts" {Enter},
type "win_add2path.py" {Enter},
type "cd /python27\scripts" {Enter},
type "pip install psutil" {Enter},
type "pip install lxml" {Enter},
type "exit" {Enter},
Reopen EventGhost.
