I use Mac OS X Lion
and Python 2.7
. I am new to python. Can anyone tell me how to import
AppKit
and PyObjC
to Python
. But i get the errors when trying to import Import Error: No module named AppKit
or 'Import Error: No module named PyObjC
.
Trying easy_install
does not help either.
What can i do to import these 2 modules?

If not already installed, install pip
by running:
sudo easy_install pip
Then run:
## install for all users sudo pip install pyobjc
or
## install for current user only pip install pyobjc --user
NOTE: the general recommendation is to avoid using the system python, and use instead a user-maintained version, for example installed via brew install python3
, macports
, conda
or whatever you already use for third party dependencies.
If you're on Mac it could be you're using the incorrect pip version, try sudo pip3 install -U pyobjc that solved it for me.
This a good guide on how to install PyObjc: http://ioanna.me/2009/09/installing-pyobjc-xcode-templates-in-snow-leopard/
When I was trying to install PyObjc I found it quite hard, but after a while, (and lots of google searches) I got it working.
Edit
I've found a more modern guide on how to do this. Download the templates and put them into your ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates/
directory, and everything should work correctly.
If you are using PyCharm, you should install PyObjC
package manually within it because of venv I guess. This was the only working solution for me.
In my case none of them worked. I was using Anaconda in my mac, later I discovered that the main issue with the Anaconda. Then I installed PyObjC
with it's all supporting libraries inside Anaconda in a specific Environment.
I run the command line by clicking the Environment play icon and run my script.
It worked without any issues :)
If you've tried:
sudo pip install pyobjc
And it still isn't working then you may have at some point in the past accidentally installed an incorrect AppKit. Run:
sudo pip uninstall appkit
And then try
sudo pip install pyobjc
again. The issue I faced was that the other appkit was lowercase so wasn't recognised (and was the wrong package) but it was preventing pyobjc from installing the correct version of AppKit.
