Pipenv: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 i

[ignacio-chiazzo]

Pipenv install is trying to install a library on a different python version.

I set pipenv to python 3.4.2 version, however, when I run pip install I get the following error :

And as you can see it's trying to install a library on python2.7 (default python version).
Steps:

pip install pipenv
cd /path-project
pipenv --three
pipenv install

Got the error

pipenv --version

pipenv, version 6.2.1

Did you install pipenv with Python 2.7? It's using that pip to resolve the dependencies.

[tryer3000]

pip version:
pip 9.0.1 from /home/joshua/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages (python 3.5)
python version:
Python 3.5.2

I was using pipenv to setup an python2 venv when got this error

[kennethreitz42]

sounds like you're having trouble installing a python module — not a pipenv problem ;)

[sobolevn]

I am also suffering this issue. But it is hard to recreate it. It just happens sometimes.

I have no problems with exact same packages with pip, and as I can see they are installed. It is breaking on 'Locking dev-dependencies':

@sobolevn please share your Pipfile.

[kennethreitz42]

I've seen this behavior too — seems to be non-deterministic, and highly-dependent on the python environment.

[sobolevn]

After removing ipython from Pipfile everything worked well.

[kennethreitz42]

@sobolevn interesting. I locked that pipfile 5 times locally and everything worked fine.

[sobolevn]

What data can I provide to help you with troubleshooting?

[kennethreitz42]

None, other than running $ pipenv lock --verbose

[kennethreitz42]

Sounds like one of the packages has a wonky setup.py file — nothing we can do about that. If you think it's ipython, that wouldn't surprise me one bit.

[kennethreitz42]

Also, safety is built into pipenv now! You can just run pipenv check and it'll run safety for you :)

[kennethreitz42]

Yeah, i'm not sure there's anything we can do about that. I'd raise the issue with pip-tools, see if they have any answers.

[kennethreitz42]

Check out pipenv check and let me know what you think :)

[sobolevn]

Nice! Replaced my old configuration with pipenv check.

Hi, this happened to me as well on package psycopg2.
The requirements.txt contained a ref to pscopg2==2.6.2. I have version 2.7.2.
When I updated the requirements.txt to ==2.7.2, pipenv install worked fine.

I am getting the same error trying to install jupyter.

I create a new environment

pipenv --three

then I try to install

pipenv install jupyter

If I run pip install --three jupyter, it removes the existing Python3 environment, creates a new Python3 environment and then I get the same error message again.

If I remove the Pipfile and Pipfile.lock and redo using Python 2 pip install --two jupyter, everything runs smoothly and installs.

It seems that if you want to install Jupyter for a Python3 environment, it wants to be installed using pip3 explicitly (at least that is what they say in the installation instructions).

If I understand correctly, pipenv will invoke pip to do the package installation but if you have a legacy Python2 installation, pip will point to pip2. So what do you do in this case when you want to create a Python3 environment?

My expectation was that when I create a new environment with pipenv --three, it should invoke pip3 each time I install a package via pipenv install package. It doesn't seem to be the case or am I doing something wrong?

@nsecord please open a separate issue and provide relevant information including everything the issue template asks for as well as the output of which pip && which pipenv && which python && pip --version && pipenv --version && python --version && env

[Monireh2]

I had the same problem. Upgrading the pip from 8 to 9, resolved my issue!

I had this problem on macOS. I fixed it by removing everything installed through homebrew and re-installing Python 3.6.

@Sunilsma oauth2 1.5.211 does not support Python 3.4. You can clearly see Python 2 syntax in the traceback, which shouldn’t have triggered alarms if you read it. I don’t know what you’re trying to achieve here.

we have significantly better error handling around this in an upcoming release

that said, you would need to provide additional detail to troubleshoot your actual problem which may or may not be resolved by that error handling.
