Installing MoviePy for Python 3.2 with pip


I am trying to install the Python module MoviePy onto my Raspberry Pi for use with Python 3.2.3 which came ready installed with the OS. I have tried every command line command that I can find and lots of possible permutations of certain words.

Following are the download instructions. https://zulko.github.io/moviepy/install.html

After much effort, I eventually managed to download pip and installed moviepy, but it was the Python 2.7 version. 😡 I found a separate thing called pip3 and installed it using:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip --fix-missing

It appeared to be successful.

Eventually I found a command that should work with Python 3.2: pip-3.2 install moviepy But it gave the error:

Cannot fetch index base URL http://pypi.python.org/simple/
Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement moviepy
No distributions at all found for moviepy
Storing complete log in /home/Pi/.pip/pip.log

What do I do? I have no knowledge of CLI at all...


Solution

  • Do

    sudo pip install ez_setup
    
    sudo pip install moviepy
    

    If it says like pip not found type

    sudo apt-get install python
    

    Python 3 is a little harder to setup so doing that command will give you 2.7 But there syntax is basicly the same.
