Use Fire with Python3 #246

Closed RilDev closed 4 years ago

RilDev commented 4 years ago

Hi there,

I'm new to Python and I was wondering if we could download Fire for Python3?

My goal is to make a Pip package using Fire and Python3.

Thank you very much!

dbieber commented 4 years ago

Yes! Python Fire works great with Python 3.

Once you have pip set up, you can simply pip install fire to install Python Fire.

Good luck!

Thank you for the quick reply @dbieber,

I did a test project and it works well with python but not with python3.

Plus when I installed the fire package I got a warning saying that the version python 2.7 will not be supported for long. Is it something I should be concerned with?

Try pip3 install fire. It sounds like you've only installed fire for your Python 2 setup, not your Python 3 setup. Python environments can be really tricky. If you haven't looked into virtualenv or pyenv yet, I recommend using one of those.

It worked, thank you!

Ok, I'll look into virtualenv and pyenv :)

Hi there @dbieber!

Thanks for the advice about the python environment managers. I settled for pyenv and pipenv.

Just as a follow up, I was able to publish my package on pypi.org!

Finally I went for the PyInquirer package for the ability to do interactive lists (I couldn't figure out how to do it with Fire).

And voila! Here is the project (in it's early stages) https://pypi.org/project/gospel/!
