Pipenv: Not-helpful information when locking is failed: pipenv.patched.notpip._internal.exceptions.InstallationError: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1

Created on 12 Sep 2019 · 10Comments · Source: pypa/pipenv

When I try to install some package (pycocotools), I encountered follwoing error.
This is not pipenv's fault, but I want pipenv to improve.

Current error message doesn't give information to solve the problem even with --verbose option.
We can't find why setup.py is failed.

So I suggest to add functionality "super verbose" mode, which show everything regarding the install process.

@themummy Also having this issue while trying to install tensorflow==2.0.0 with pipenv. With pip I can install without issue, but pipenv raise this error while trying to lock the pipfile. Any workarounds for now?

@sconetto Installing pipenv from master solved the issue for me:
pip install git+https://github.com/pypa/pipenv.git@master

Yes it definitely needs to be improved, but I think you should fix in upstream pip-tools.

frostming on 12 Sep 2019

I'm having the same issue. Although, I only have the tensorflow==2.0.0 package.

jtanios on 1 Oct 2019

I did use pip for each failed package to see details.
After fix all issues, pipenv worked well for me.

My problem is cleared with this workaround, but keeping this issue open to identify there's enhancement request.

Thanks.

Looks similar to bug #3468

darkvertex on 5 Feb 2020

It is similar. I've just looked into the code and it's supposed to print the stdout and stderr from the external process (in this case the setup.py) but it does not do it. Even though there was one, in my case, I was able to identify it when manually running pip.

@themummy Also having this issue while trying to install tensorflow==2.0.0 with pipenv. With pip I can install without issue, but pipenv raise this error while trying to lock the pipfile. Any workarounds for now?

@sconetto Installing pipenv from master solved the issue for me:
pip install git+https://github.com/pypa/pipenv.git@master

@jtanios awesome! I was facing the same issue: just tensorflow 2.0 and after I upgraded my pipenv to master, the issue was gone!

I have just published a pre-release of the latest version of pipenv which leverages updates to pip-tools and pip. This should ideally resolve this issue, which I will close for now and encourage new reports in new issues.

To install the pre-release, you can run pip install --upgrade --pre pipenv

For what it's worth, I did look into this a bit and it appears that tensorflow specifically does not have wheels available yet for python 3.8 unless you install with the --pre option.

The pytest-cases issue appears to be resolved as well (I believe this package only works on python~=2.7.

Thanks for your patience all!
