If you are using a recent Python (v3.4+) then pip should already be installed. PyGame comes with a Windows installer that should set everything up for you. Matplotlib I don;t know about. I suggest you work on each one individually. Let us know what you try and what results you get. Tell us your OS and Python versions and cut n paste any error messages into your mails. Don;t attempt a second install until the first one succeeds. Start with checking that pip is there (or installing it if not) Then do PyGae Then do Matplotlib > Also, I would like to install Ubuntu on a second drive with Python, > Idle, C language and its compiler so I can also learn Linux.

Since you need Kali for your course I'd suggest going straight to it. As for Python packages on Linux you should find that your distribution has some kind of package manager or software manager for installing new apps. You should find almost all the Python libraries and tools are available there and you can install them that way. It tends to be easier than using pip etc. > Any help is appreciated, and if I find someone with the needed > expertise, I will happily subscribe on the Python-Tutor Info Page/ That's not how it works. The whole group acts as a virtual tutor. You post questions here and whoever is available/qualified jumps in with the answer. That often means you get multiple (possible different) answers to your question, but the best will usually become apparent quite quickly. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Need help in learning Python
I bought two books to help me learn Python. "Python Crash Course" and "Python for Informatics". I have done all of the basic lessons in "Python Crash Course", but it has two additional sections to help instill what I have learned To do those sections I need to install Pygame and make sure I have 'pip' as well as Matplotlib. I have followed the directions in the book but can't get anything to download so I can use it. For the "Python for Informatics" book I need to have files from the internet load where I have Python so I can manipulate them, but I can't seem to get that to work. Also, I would like to install Ubuntu on a second drive with Python, Idle, C language and its compiler so I can also learn Linux. On the Linux drive, I need to install Kali Linux for a class on Cyber Security. I know this is a lot to ask, but I don't need it all at once. I would appreciate help from someone with experience in downloading all of these things onto a windows computer with a second drive for Ubuntu and all of the other software. Any help is appreciated, and if I find someone with the needed expertise, I will happily subscribe on the Python-Tutor Info Page/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
