GUI pythonw not found

I have the same problem.

Hi @irvita @atramell,

I haven't encountered this error, but it might be an issue with the wxPython package or how the system runs the GUI.

First, confirming you have everything downloaded into the virtual environment and the virtual environment is active?

Second, can you confirm you have wxPython and Python3 installed in the environment?

Third, this looks like a similar issue but I am unsure if the same solution will work. Give this a try and let me know?

Good evening! I tried doing the conda install.app command, but it needs a python version above 3.8. Can I run FreeClimber on python 3.8? Thank you! Sincerely, Abigail Tramell

Hi @atramell ,

If you haven't already, I recommend following the tutorial. An early step walks you through the creation of an Anaconda virtual environment, which has the version of Python (3.6) and packages that are known to work well together. It's an annoying step to download and activate the virtual environment each time, but is good for version controlling packages and "future-proofing" the software.

Downloading Python from Anaconda will also cover a similar issue that can arise if you were to download Python on the computer for a single user instead of for all users.

Once you have the virtual environment with Python 3.6 running, you could also try to create an environment with Python 3.8 and installing/updating the packages to answer your question.

Keep me posted on whether or not things work.

Good morning! I was able to get FreeClimber running, but whenever I try to test the parameters, it takes extremely long and I was wondering how I can get it to run faster. Thank you for your help! Sincerely, Abigail Tramell

Hi @atramell ,

Are you using the test file or your own file?

• If it is the test file, restart your computer and try it again. It shouldn't take more than 5-15 seconds to run depending on the specs of your computer.
• If it is your own file, try to restart your computer and/or downsize the file or reduce the frames you are testing

For others who might encounter your last problem, what was the solution?

[atramell]

Good morning! I downloaded python.app through an anaconda environment with a version of python that is above 3.8 and then I was able to use the pythonw command in my 3.6 env. The amount of frames that I am using is 30 frames per second and the video file is 30 seconds long. When I used to run it with my .avi files it worked, but now that my videos are formatted as .mp4 files, it no longer works and python is using so much of my application memory that I have to force quit terminal. I tried the test file that is .mp4 formatted and it worked fine, so I am not sure what the issue is. Thank you for all your help! Sincerely, Abigail Tramell

Correction: My old files were formatted as .mov files, but when I changed my new .mp4 files to .mov files they still did not work.

Checking in to see if you ended up getting things to work, your solution, and if I can close out this issue?

The file formats you mentioned were all tested previously so I think it is a deeper issue than just reformatting the video? Let me know either way.
