Moviepy: fail to install

[AlexeyAM]

Here is cmd output:

n:\moviepy-master>python setup.py
error in moviepy setup command: 'extras_require' must be a dictionary whose valu
es are strings or lists of strings containing valid project/version requirement
specifiers.

How to handle this?
I use Python 2.7 on Windows 7

Are you sure you have the latest version of moviepy from this repo? And what about just running pip install moviepy to install it?

[AlexeyAM]

From changelog - ## [v0.2.3.3](
pip (latest version) gives the same error. I've started from it.
Python 2.7.10

BTW, my colleague reported the same error on Linux Mint.

[tburrows13]

In which case, I'm stuck. We need someone with Windows to try and reproduce the error. I've just tried pip installing moviepy (v0.2.3.3 with Python 2.7) on Mac and it works fine. However, when I do python setup.py, it doesn't try to install it, it gives

$ python setup.py
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

error: no commands supplied

You need python setup.py install.

Here is debugging information from Python console called by Visual Studio:

This error I get both from pip and "python setup.py"

[mgaitan]

seems you are running an old version of setuptools
try to upgrade it by doing

pip install --upgrade setuptools

and then try to install moviepy again

[AlexeyAM]

Here is result.

pip is installed, the latest version - 10.0.1

[tburrows13]

No, don’t run it inside of the python shell. Just run it in your normal command line.

[AlexeyAM]

This worked:

C:\Users\AM>python -m pip install --upgrade setuptools

Indeed I had very old version - upgraded from version 16.0 to 39.0.1
Will continue with moviepy

[AlexeyAM]

OK.

python setup.py install

run from cmd worked. Thus, the problem was in old setuptools version.
Thanks, everybody.

@AlexeyAM was it the same problem for your colleague on linux mint ? If both are solved, we can close this :)

[AlexeyAM]

OK.

python setup.py install

run from cmd worked. Thus, the problem was in old setuptools version.
Thanks, everybody.
