Installing pip is not working in python < 3.6
(6 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I use python3.5 on Ubuntu 16.04 and after upgrading pip3, i am getting the following error:
**Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pip3", line 11, in <module>
sys.exit(main())
File "/home/xxx/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pip/__init__.py", line 16, in main
from pip._internal.utils.entrypoints import _wrapper
File "/home/xxx/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pip/_internal/utils/entrypoints.py", line 3, in <module>
from pip._internal.cli.main import main
File "/home/xxx/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/pip/_internal/cli/main.py", line 60
sys.stderr.write(f"ERROR: {exc}")**
^
Looks like pip is broken and i don't know how to resolve this.
I have tried uninstalling and installing pip3. but it still gave me the same error.
Can anyone please help ?
Wrong Version of python,
since version 0.8, Pip supports pip{version}. You can use it the same as easy_install-{version}:
$ pip2.6 install otherpackage
$ pip2.7 install mybarpackage
You can try to install an old version of pip:
first of all delete current pip:
sudo apt-get remove --purge python-pip
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/pip
After that download and install pip for you python version:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/3.5/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
I am unable to install AWS CLI on MacBook Yosemite.
I get an error with the sudo command from AWS Documentation.
I initially installed sudo using the default python2.7, and then tried to install with python3.7 but it doesn't work. I feel it's the folder path that is incorrect but I don't know what to check on it.
Can I get some guidance?
Here is the error output:

Tip: It is normally a good idea to use virtual environments when installing Python libraries to avoid conflicts. In such cases, start a virtual environment, then run pip.

Tried below solution but it didn't help (used yum and pip instead) :
solution 1
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
(Or you can install more packages as suggested on the pyenv wiki:
apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev xz-utils tk-dev
Now in the downloaded python source rebuild and install python with the following command: ./configure --enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions && make && sudo make install.
My Attempt throwing below error :
Collecting libsqlite3-dev
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement libsqlite3-dev (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for libsqlite3-dev
Answering my own question.
Finally fixed the issue by Installing sqlite-devel package :
yum install sqlite-devel
and re-installing the python as follows:
sudo wget http://python.org/ftp/python/3.6.5/Python-3.6.5.tar.xz
tar xf Python-3.6.5.tar.xz
cd Python-3.6.5
sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-shared LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib"
sudo ./configure --enable-optimizations
sudo make && sudo make altinstall
When trying to install a package for Python 3 (in Ubuntu), using pip3 install packageName (or sudo pip3 install packageName), I get the following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/__init__.py", line 33, in vendored
__import__(vendored_name, globals(), locals(), level=0)
ImportError: No module named 'pip._vendor.pkg_resources'
I have been reading for days and have tried the following WITHOUT any success:
Un-installing and re-installing pip3 using the following code: sudo apt-get remove python3-pip followed by sudo apt-get install python3-pip. This was suggested in several posts that say that sometimes pip3 doesn't install properly for Ubuntu. However, it didn't work.
Other post suggested it was an ssl package problem and that if the ssl package doesn't load on Python3, that's the issue. However the following command does not raise any error: python3 -c "import ssl".
Some other post suggested the problem was with the requests package. I then tried sudo apt-get remove python3-requests followed by sudo apt-get install python3-requests also to no avail.
Other information you may need:
pip3 --version gives me the same error reported above.
dpkg -L python3-pip gives me the following information:

This solved it for me:
curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3
try use virtualenv for every specific project not messing with ubuntu subsystem.
I got this error on WSL Ubuntu and the most upvoted solution didn't work for me.
The one that works:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py --force-reinstall
Thanks #s_s.411
I solve this problem with the following commands:
curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | sudo python3
type pip3
hash -r
pip3
I ran into the same problem, on Ubuntu 16.04, using the system python 3.5.2 like you, with pip installed via apt (sudo apt install python3-pip) like you, having installed some packages in my home directory with pip3 install --user like you (documented in your chat with hoefling).
The solution was as follows:
Temporarily move away all packages installed with pip3 install --user:
mv ~/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages{,_backup}
This made pip3 work again, but of course I wanted to keep the packages. (Note: just moving out setuptools was not enough; I am not sure which constellation of packages caused this.)
Install an upgraded pip into home directory:
pip3 install --upgrade --user pip
Now the pip3 command fails (ImportError: cannot import name 'main') because it's still called from the old /usr/bin/pip3 location in the current shell, as indicated by type pip3. To solve this, run:
hash -r
Alternatively, you can always fall back to typing python3 -m pip instead of pip3.
Restore the packages:
mv ~/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages{_backup/*,}
rmdir ~/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages_backup
Now pip was working, but python3 -m 'import setuptools' failed with the same exception you saw, AttributeError: '_NamespacePath' object has no attribute 'sort'. This could be solved by uninstalling, then reinstalling the setuptools package in my home directory (uninstalling alone was not enough):
pip3 uninstall setuptools
pip3 install --user --upgrade setuptools
Finally, pip3 and the python3 -c 'import setuptools' are fine.
No module named 'pip._vendor.packaging'
The solution for me was to uninstall the system pipenv (installed with the package manager, pacman), and install pipenv from pip (which is managed with pyenv):
pip install pipenv
I no longer have issues when running pipenv install.
I tried all fixes on this page and it didn't work, finally I found out my virtualenv was broken and I had to reinstall the virtualenv like so
deactivate - deactivate first to be safe
virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3.8 /path/to/my_virtualenv_python3
source /path/to/my_virtualenv_python3/bin/activate - activate the env egain
Of course replace /path/to/my_virtualenv_python with your own path and python3.8 with a custom version of python if you don't use version 3.8 :)
Also please note this may or may not remove already installed packages, so just reinstall every requirements.txt you need afterwards.
I also have same problem and I solved it by this command.
pip uninstall pkg-resources==0.0.0
I use an old virtualenv version, it is OK.
The old version is 15.1.0.
I had a similar issue with Debian 11, my Debian has been updated to major releases several times and it looks like some files were not removed. I had to clean them:
# remove pip
sudo apt purge python3-pip
# check that the files don't belong to any package
dpkg -S /usr/share/python-wheels/* /usr/share/python-support/private/*
# remove the files
sudo rm -rfv /usr/share/python-wheels/ /usr/share/python-support/private/
# remove old files since Python is now 3.9
rm -rfv ~/.local/lib/python3.7/
# reinstall pip
sudo apt install python3-pip
And pip worked again.
I tried to install libxml2 and libxslt on ubuntu 16.04 using this command:
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt-dev python-dev
when finished I try to import like this:
import libxml2
import libxslt
when I use python2 I can import without problem and when use python3 I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'xmllib2'
For the first part:
sudo apt-get install python3-libxml2
For libxslt, it is no longer maintained. However, someone has ported it to work with Python3:
https://github.com/Unidata/gempak/tree/master/extlibs/xslt/libxslt-1.1.28
It appears that it must be compiled. Here is the documentation stating that it works with Python3:
