How Can I Install and Use This Module? - reggiearthur - Oct-04-2017 hiya. so pretty much i'm interested in using this module named "RenderMan" from github for a project, but i'm not sure how to install it into python? I know this my seem like a stupid question but I'm a complete beginner and have no idea what i'm doing and frankly its making me a little frustrated haha. i get that i have to download it but what do i do with it from there? here's the link to it https://github.com/fedden/RenderMan also btw im using python version 3.6 and a windows 10 computer thanks!

If you really must get way ahead of yourself, we have a tutorial here: https://python-forum.io/Thread-Install-a-library-manually RE: (beginner) How Can I Install and Use This Module? - metulburr - Oct-04-2017 (Oct-04-2017, 01:07 PM)reggiearthur Wrote:9 times out of 10, the updated programs are going to be listed in pypi. The most used modules are in pypi. And i am not talking about 10 or even 1000 modules. At the time of this post, pypi has 118,502 libraries. Most modules, if people use it, will be in pypi, if not then it usually either means 1) its too new and will be in pypi at some point 2) its too old or outdated 3) no one uses it because there is a better maintained/known module to handle the same thing in pypi.(Oct-04-2017, 12:57 PM)buran Wrote: According to the Readme file it does not support Windows yet Rarely you might find some module outside of pypi that just happens to do what you want it to do and is not in pypi. The problem is it is usually outdated and not developed anymore. That sometimes might not effect anything, but sometimes can cause a lot of headaches in trying to get it to work. In this case "Juce" is not in pypi and has has 2 commits from 1 user 3 years ago. Then nothing. I have never heard of it. I dont know if anyone else here has. The readme is crappy and has practically no info to help. Based on this i usually steer clear of things like that. I have no idea what Juce is, but my feeling is there must be some other module that handles the same need in python that Juce does in C++. |
