error when running examples

[textualize]

error when running examples

[willmcgugan]

If you have textual installed via pip, you will need to first uninstall it and then install it via Poetry.

Uninstall it with this:

pip uninstall textual

Now cd in to the textual directory and run the following:

poetry install

The bleeding edge version of Textual will now be installed and you can run the examples with the following:

python animation.py

Ok @willmcgugan

[willmcgugan]

@cole-wilson You can use the version on PyPi just by adding textual to your project. These instructions are so you can try out the latest code before it is released.

@prolomix You will need to get the latest code from the repository (here). You can do this by cloning the repos. Click the code tab above and then the green Code button.

If you have never done this before, see if you can find a guide online.

You will need to install via poetry. Do 'pip uninstall textual' then 'poetry install' before running the examples...

sorry im kinda new to python so i may be messing something up. i did python3 -m poetry add textual and now its telling me textual isnt a module. the pyproject.toml file and poetry.lock file both add up though

the error is

from textual.app import App
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'textual'

[itsUrcute]

so i did poetry run python filename.py and got the initial error TypeError: on_key() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given. would appreciate some help on this

I am also having trouble with this exact same error. Running python3 -m textual.app runs the demo just fine, but running the examples failed. I have installed everything with poetry.

[cole-wilson]

Ah, okay! I was trying to just do poetry add textual and then poetry install in an empty directory. yiur directions work great!

As I understand it however, that will only install textual in a virtual environment for the textual source. Is there a way I can install it globally to use with other projects? I normally don't use poetry, so please forgive me if this is a simple question.

Textual is a really cool project and I'm loving the examples, thank you souch for all the work you put into it!

Please help I did what you said but Visual Studio tells me " There is no module called 'textual'."
then I uninstall 'textual' and Now cd into the textual directory and run the following: poetry installs and cmd pop up with an error.

I did it and it shows the same
but I run test file and it showed me this:

[prolomix]

I did it and it shows me this in test file:

what does this mean

[willmcgugan]

Ah. You are running on Windows. Textual is not yet compatible with Windows I'm afraid.

[prolomix]

When it will be available for windows

[willmcgugan]

Can't say for certain, but I would suspect a month or two.

[cole-wilson]

@willmcgugan thanks!
