Thank you for submitting your first issue to p5py

[tushar5526]

Hi, can you share the steps that produced this? Did this happen while you were trying to install the library?

[osama1998H]

Hi @tushar5526
Its just one step
Pip install p5
It's download successfully but after this throwing an error

[tushar5526]

I tried installing p5 from the source and it was installed properly. Can you try upgrading the pip and reinstalling everything in a fresh virtual environment?

[phildub64]

I have the same issue. I upgraded everything (pip included) and always metadata error.

[tushar5526]

There seems to be some installation problem with numpy. Try installing the dependencies manually, more specifically, try this.

pip install numpy
pip install p5 or build from the latest commit in a fresh environment

I have numpy installed on my computer

There are some other ways to install p5, you can see here. The docs will be updated in the new release soon

Can you try installing everything in a fresh python virtual environment?

I'm experiencing the same error.
I created a new virtual environment with python 3.8 and only ran
pip install p5
and it installed without error; however, when I try to run a basic script :

I get the following runtime error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'p5'

[tushar5526]

Hi, you have to set up VS code to use the new virtual environment that you have created. It's generally Ctrl + Shift + P -> Select Python interpreter -> select your virtual environment.

You can also google how to select your virtual environment in vscode.

I will also recommend trying the new 2D renderer skia for better performance.

p5.run(renderer="skia")

I installed release 0.7.1 and its works correctly on my laptop
but 0.8.0 not working

I was able to reproduce this issue on windows using Python 3.10 installing from pypi.

Installing directly from the latest source code resolved the numpy issue, but installation for pyopengl-accelerate was failing. I wasn't able to resolve this by tweaking the versions in the requirements.txt, so I manually downloaded wheels files and installed them using the instructions here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59725675/need-to-install-pyopengl-windows.

@tushar5526 I installed release 0.7.1 and its works correctly on my laptop but 0.8.0 is not working

You could try installing from the source and using python versions >= 3.7 and <= 3.9, by the time we fix it for 3.10

[tushar5526]

It seems, pyopengl accelerate does not support 3.10 for Linux as of now. We would have to wait for them to fix it. If someone still wants to use python 3.10 for some reason, they could use the workaround mentioned here mcfletch/pyopengl#74 (comment), else we will recommend sticking to python versions from 3.7 to 3.9

[phildub64]

For me, it doesn't work with python 3.9 and 3.10. 3.8 is ok.

[tushar5526]

#398 would fix this

[tushar5526]

Closing this by #398
