Using requests and beautiful soup libraries in kivy

[pcun...@nd.edu]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to kivy, and today I tried using the requests and beautifulsoup libraries with kivy. Unfortunately, I keep getting an Import error (no module named requests and no module named bs4). Is there a way to fix this problem? Novice programmer here (freshman in college) so nothing is too basic to explain. 

Thanks,

The error means those packages aren't installed in kivy's environment. If you're using windows with the portable package, I think you should run the kivy shell (I haven't tried this but I think you can run the 'kivy' executable to get a shell) and use pip to install the libraries (e.g. pip install requests).

Someone else can probably confirm the details of this if you are using windows. If not, give more information about your installation.

My apologies, I should have mentioned I am using OS X.

Figure it out. Alex, you were right, those packages weren't installed in the kivy environment. Eventually figured out to download those packages specifically to the ivy environment even though they already existed in the python environment. 

Thanks,

Hi Pierce,

I'm running into the same problem. What do you mean by "download those packages specifically to the ivy environment even though they already existed in the python environment"? How do I go about this?

Thanks

Hi Joey,

if you're on OS X, I think you can use something like

kivy -m pip install <your_desired_package>

If you installed kivy in a virtual env, make sure you use the python interpreter used in that virtual env:

• either
  activate the virtualenv (assuming you have a bash shell):
  source <your_kivy_virtualenv>/bin/activate
  then
  
  python -m pip install <your_desired_package>
• or
  
  <your_kivy_virtualenv>/bin/python -m pip install <your_desired_package>

Does that help?
