error on MacOS Python3 #12

Closed GuzzoTheLuke closed 1 year ago

GuzzoTheLuke commented 1 year ago

Hi, when I run the program (radexreader.py) with "readall" command I receive this message Traceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module> readall NameError: name 'readall' is not defined

When I use "radexreader readall" command I receive this other message SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Where am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help!

How did you install the program? How do you run the program? What is your Python version?

GuzzoTheLuke commented 1 year ago

I'm trying to run the Python program via IDLE on my mac with Python 3 installed. sorry but i'm not very familiar with Python, I hope I haven't misconstrued Python

Okay, no, you must run the program like any other program from a Terminal. For example: image

Edit: perhaps with IDLE you can do the same by typing /Users/..../radexreader.py and readall on the same line.

Good. Now you need to install libusb, for example: brew install libusb.

GuzzoTheLuke commented 1 year ago

same result zsh: command not found: readall

luigifab commented 1 year ago

No YOU MUST write the command line in one line!

Schermata 2022-12-03 alle 19 27 45 I'm really sorry, but I can't understand what I'm doing wrong... 😭

GuzzoTheLuke commented 1 year ago

Sorry, do you have some hints about the problem?

luigifab commented 1 year ago

It's seems that libusb is not installed? or perhaps you need to use sudo? sudo python3 ....

GuzzoTheLuke commented 1 year ago

pip install pyusb Requirement already satisfied: pyusb in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/site-packages (1.2.1)

and sudo don't change anything

luigifab commented 1 year ago

Yes, the problem is not pyusb but libusb.

With Windows you need to download a .dll and put it in the right directory. With Alpine Linux you need to run apk add libusb. With Mac I'm not sure, something like brew install libusb (source).

Sorry I give up... I've done what you were asking, I tried to reinstall libusb and pyusb (the error change when I tried compiling with one of those installed) and I've checked that Python3 was up to date... I don't know what to do... You've tried to help, but your suggestion can't help me. Good luck

luigifab commented 1 year ago

I think the problem is not python, but only libusb. But I don't know how to help you.
