Unable to load numpy_formathandler accelerator from OpenGL_accelerate

[thedigitalempress]

Hi Mark,

I came across your python audio visualizer on youtube. I decided to re-create it for my youtube channel. I'm having some trouble with loading the "numpy_formathandler accelerator from OpenGL_accelerate". When I run the code it throws back this error and I am not able to maneuver the grid like you are doing in the video. It kind of just sits there until I close out of the python shell.

I did some research on why this could be happening.. something about the PyOpenGL install not downloading properly. I'm still troubleshooting and researching this error but was wondering if you have any ideas as to what may be happening. I have also attached my version of the code so that you can see if I can mistyping or missing anything.

How did you install pyOpenGL?
Did you use conda to install?

conda install -c anaconda pyopengl

are you using python 3.5 or 3.6?
When I did this video, I was using python3.5

I used the command from this site, http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/installation.html,
but instead I used pip3 install PyOpenGL PyOpenGL_accelerate because "pip" doesn't seem to work on my system in the terminal.

I tried using the conda command line to install it through my terminal but that's not working either. I am also working on HighSierra on a Macbook Air. I am also using the 3.6 version of python. Do you think I should try using it with 3.5?

Is conda like a library manager for python?

I bounced back to the 3.5 version on python and now I don't get the error but I still cannot move the graph.

Hi Mark,

Quick update. I finally got it to work. I can now move my grid around. I had to install a specific library. I forget which one but it works!

Thanks for responding so quickly!

Hey, I know this problem is long gone but if you find that project could you type "pip list" so I can see what library you downloaded that fixed the problem, I'm guessing you won't respond or the file is corrupt but it would be greatly appreciated. Sorry in advance

Hi, i can solve this problem upgrading the librarys

pip install PyOpenGL_accelerate --upgrade
pip install numpy --upgrade

and Its Done!
