Installation for PyJNIus - PermissionError: [WinError 5] Acess denied

[Kit Wai]

I have tried the following measures, but error still pops up 

- Run the cmd in administrator role

- Set myself as pycham and python files in administrator role

- Used pip install --user PyJNIus

- Used python -m pip install --user PyJNIus

- Closed Pycham, and run cmd in administrator role

- I am already having the highest access right for all files

Can anyone help me out?

C:\WINDOWS\system32>python -m pip install --user PyJNIus

1) Don't do this as Administrator

2) Kivy 1.11.1 does not work on Python 3.8, so I'd guess pyjnius is the same.

3) I think your setup is right on this, but to be certain: don't install Python as Admin and use the default single user install.

4) If you reinstall Python check for legacy entries in the environment variables.

[KC Pullen]

Hello,

I'm new to Kivy and I've run into the same error... and I'm actually pulling out the little hair that I have left...  I've tried to install as Administrator as well... still no luck... any ideas ?  Haven't found much luck on Stackoverflow either.... 

Here is my traceback:

Thanks in advance,

I'm also working in Windows 10.... 

[Robert Flatt]

This is some kind of install issue.

I just tried it on python3.8-64 it worked, see below (use you should 3.7 not 3.8)

So probably some file/directory permissions issue, perhaps related to doing things as Admin?

Take a look at the permissions in   appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\site-packages

If you have installed Python more than once, also check %PATH% doesn't include old installs.

If all else fails, uninstall Python, clean any remaining folders, and reinstall. NOT as Admin.

Robert, 

I'll definitely try this and let you know what happens tomorrow.   Another question, is there a major difference between the 32 bit version and 64 bit version of Python?  Which is the preferred?

-KP

[KC Pullen]

OK....  

I tried the following and it has been to no avail:

1.) Uninstall Python, reinstall Python 3.7.7 (32-bit), then "pip install pyjnius"

2.) Download the actual gz file from https://github.com/kivy/pyjnius/releases/download/1.3.0/pyjnius-1.3.0.tar.gz.  

     a.) Uncompressed the file.

     b.) Opened the CMD window

     c.) Went to the downloaded directory, C:\Users\Home\Downloads\pyjnius-1.3.0.tar\dist\pyjnius-1.3.0\pyjnius-1.3.0 

     d.) Executed the following command: executed the following command: python setup.py

3.) Attempted to install from its git repo.

     a.) Tried - pip install git+git://github.com/kivy/pyjnius.git#egg=pyjnius

     b.) Tried - pip install git+https://github.com/kivy/pyjnius.git#egg=pyjnius

I wonder if there is an issue with the "setup.py" file as  each effort resulted in the same error message:

Any other suggestions?  On the https://github.com/kivy/pyjnius/releases page, I see several 64-bit wheels, but only one option for 32-bit.  

I'm almost at wit's end. 

[Robert Flatt]

Its OK to be crazy. Lots of us are like that. You are not alone:

https://github.com/kivy/pyjnius/issues/504

I just Googled WinError 5  , seems it is a generic error message, often meaning 'cant find' rather than 'can find but not allowed'

I suggest joining the dialog on issue 504.

[KC Pullen]

LOL @ crazy....  It feels good to know that I'm not alone...  

I've posted a message with the dialog on issue 504.   If anyone presents a solution, I'll post it in this thread.

Thanks,

KP
