The command '/bin/sh -c pip3 install fastparquet' returned a non-zero code: 1
If I instead pip3 install numpy==1.11, there is no problem.
If I first upgrade pip3, then pip3 install fastparquet works but pip3 install fastparquet==0.3.2 gives the same error.

I fixed this by first installing setuptools==42.0.0, which switched to using pip to resolve setup_requires (https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/history.html#v42-0-0). (fastparquet uses setup_requires to install numpy before its installed itself)

Python, Error while installing matplotlib

OS: Windows 10
Python ver: 3.9.0
Error code:
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.
I tried:
python -m pip install -U pip
python -m pip install -U matplotlib
didn't work.
and then I tried:
pip install --upgrade setuptools
didn't solve the problem.
I read on SO that maybe if I open the shell in administrator mode it could solve the problem but it didn't work too.
I saw someone mentioning ez-setup for this error code. I installed it but that didn't work too.
I don't know if it has something to do but my C directory looks like this:
C:\Users\METİNUSTA
It has an uppercase i character which sometimes can cause problems with applications. I can't change it because I am using my school's Windows key and it don't let me do any change. Because of this I installed python on D: .
Also here my pip list for extra information:
ez-setup 0.9
flake8 3.8.4
mccabe 0.6.1
pip 20.2.4
pycodestyle 2.6.0

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install matplotlib==3.3.1
Worked for me.

edit: matplotlib has now released wheels for python 3.9 so pip install --upgrade matplotlib should work.
original answer
matplotlib hasn't made a wheel yet for version 3.9 so your python attempted to build it from source. You should downgrade to python 3.8 and then everything should work

This is because matplotlib has no 3.9 wheels ..
For convenience in the use of matplotlib, you can install anaconda.
In anaconda environment matplotlib, numpy and pandas are available by default for Python installed in Anaconda.
Or you can use lower versions of Python.

Install it from the source (Python >= 3.9.2):
git clone git://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git
and build and install with:
cd matplotlib
python -mpip install .
If you want to be able to follow the development branch as it changes just replace the last step with:
python -mpip install -e .
Source and more information here: https://matplotlib.org/stable/faq/installing_faq.html#install-from-git

Matplotlib has no wheel for python version 3.10.
If tried installing matplotlib in 3.10 version of python by
pip install matplotlib
Results in : Error: Building wheel for matplotlib (setup.py)..error
Matplotlib dependencies are met and they are as follow:
cycler = 0.10
kiwisolver = 1.0.1
numpy = 1.16
pillow = 6.2.0
pyparsing = 2.2.1
six = 1.5
python-dateutil = 2.7
Tried upgrading pip and install matplotlib
python -m pip install -U pip
python -m pip install -U matplotlib
Successfully installed pip-21.3.1
again it didn't install Matplotlib.
Hence Down-versioned Python to 3.9 and installed Matplotlib. For Python version upto 3.9 wheel is defined for Matplotlib, do use Python 3.9 and make sure pip is upgraded to available version it wont be problem to install matplotlib

Python 2.7 and pip install realted issues with _markerlib and installing other packages failures

Currently trying to install some web framework but it fails with following error. It also shows the same error when I try to install other packages as well. I can't figure out where it stems from. Any ideas would help a lot.

The problematic import comes from distribute-0.7.3 which is outdated package and should not be used. Remove the directory d:\users\arhitect\downloads\distribute-0.7.3.

Import error when deploying django app to Heroku

I am trying to deploy the app that they have mentioned in the getting started section. However I am getting error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'six'. The whole build log is mentioned below:

I have even installed the six module but it's not working.

You (alongwith with a lot of others) are facing this issue
upgrade your CI environment to just short of v36 with the following pre-install command:
pip install --upgrade "setuptools < 36"
Then, by ensure that your soon-to-be-created virtualenv inherited that version with the following environment variable:
VIRTUALENV_NO_DOWNLOAD=1
Another fix is by installing the module six before running any other command.
The official response in the Github repo has been that it will be fixed asap.
Hope it works. Cheers!
