Pip list raises ValueError - python

I am not able to run $ pip list using pip 19.0.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pip (python 3.6).
$ pip list

I'm working on a fresh virtual machines where these commands have been run, with the final command installing something I had cloned from github.
apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip python3-dev
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip3 install https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.0.0/en_core_web_sm-2.0.0.tar.gz#egg=en_core_web_sm-2.0.0
sudo -H pip3 install -e /vagrant

The problem is that there are folders in my Python library that start with a hyphen, and those are causing errors. I wasn't sure what to rename them to, so I deleted them. This will probably cause me problems in the future, but it resolved the problem for this thread.
Assume that the problematic folder is named -bad_folder. These commands should solve it:
cd /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages
rm -rf ./-bad_folder
the ./ before the name of the bad folder is important so the command line recognizes that it's a file and not an option for the command.
If anyone has a better solution than deleting the folders, please let me know.
Update: The folder I had with the leading hyphen was named -pacy; it appears that this was an artifact of an incomplete installation of spaCy (a Python package). I gave my VM more memory and installed it again, and the -pacy file wasn't there.

The pip command often refers to Python version 2.
Try pip3 instead.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dnf' when running yum or dnf

A few days ago I wanted to run dnf but I received the following error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/dnf", line 57, in <module>
from dnf.cli import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dnf'
Thus I tried to run yum and I received something similar:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 57, in <module>
from dnf.cli import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dnf'
I do not know what happened and I hope someone can help me find the problem and solve it. The only thing I know is that it might be related to the fact that a few days before I installed tensorflow in python using conda. Although it seems conda does not work now because I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am using fedora 29
Thanks!
I had the same problem, but after all trial and error the only thing actually worked was:
rpm -qa python3
This will announce your python3 rpm package.
I've searched and downloaded it from web
Go to the downloaded directory like:
sudo rpm -e --nodeps python3-3.7.2-4.fc29.x86_64(my python3 rpm package)
sudo rpm -i python3-3.7.2-4.fc29.x86_64.rpm
I tried many other methods so this'll not be a only factor that resolve that problem.
Hello,
i have just been through this in Fedora 31 and do not exactly know what was the cause that led to this same issue, it must have been some package managing over another context that came up only on my next need to use DNF.
I am assuming that before this stated error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/dnf", line 57, in
from dnf.cli import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dnf'
You were having this message when executing dnf:
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/dnf.py:15: UserWarning: The DNF Python API is not currently available via PyPI.
Please install it with your distro package manager (typically called
'python2-dnf' or 'python3-dnf'), and ensure that any virtual environments
needing the API are configured to be able to see the system site packages
directory.
After some hours researching and trying to install each DNF rpm dependency of the DNF rpm itself(https://pkgs.org/download/dnf) i felt as an intuition that maybe i should try to remove(mv sure)
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/
which had just one folder in it named site-packages
It worked!
Thank you.
I have a friend who met the same problem.
He tried to uninstall python3.7 in linux server by some amazing cmd rpm -qa|grep python3|xargs rpm -ev --allmatches --nodeps and whereis python3 |xargs rm -frv.
This caused the yum and dnf to break.
I changed the /usr/bin/yum to use a local python3.8 version, but it caused ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dnf' at last, and didn't solved it.
It is not a good way to download many rpm packages on the Internet. And I can't use yum either. But I have another same linux OS server, so I've tried to copy the correlation files about python3.7.
$ rpm -ql python3-3.7.0-9.h4.eulerosv2r8.aarch64> py.log
$ while read -r line;do dirname $line |xargs -I {} ssh root#$remoteip "mkdir -p {}" ;scp $line root#$remoteip:$line ;done<py.log
$ rpm -ql python3-libs-3.7.0-9.h4.eulerosv2r8.aarch64 >pylib.log
$ while read -r line;do dirname $line |xargs -I {} ssh root#$remoteip "mkdir -p {}" ;scp $line root#$remoteip:$line ;done<pylib.log
scp -r /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages root#$remoteip:/usr/lib/python3.7/
I recovered yum this way.
I had the same issue.
For me the solution was to simply uninstall the python3 dnf package (including from all virtualenvs) that I had obviously installed somewhen.
pip uninstall dnf
had the same error.
my fix ->
cd into /usr/bin. has many python files...
latest python (3.11) has pytest, python3 -> python3.11 (symlink), python3.11, python3.11-config, python3.11-x86_64-config, python -> python3
had been using 3.9, not familiar with python so much, so changed symlink back to python3->python3.9 after Fedora 36 update changed symlink to 3.11 and installed python3.11. when i changed symlink back to 3.9, this created the error message. When i changed the symlink back to python3->python3.11 the error disappeared and all works fine. DNF is fine etc. did nothing else.
since all the other python files were pointing to the 3.11 versions, introduction of the symlink to 3.9 must have blown the fuse...

pip installing packages failed

With PyCharm I tried to add a project interpreter for my Docker container
but then I get this incomprehensible error.
Invalid requirement: 'redis\>=2.10.5'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/req/req_install.py", line 82, in __init__
req = Requirement(req)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/packaging/requirements.py", line 96, in __init__
requirement_string[e.loc:e.loc + 8]))
InvalidRequirement: Invalid requirement, parse error at "'\\>=2.10.'
What can I do about it?
From the official documentation of pip:
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#examples
$ pip install SomePackage # latest version
$ pip install SomePackage==1.0.4 # specific version
$ pip install 'SomePackage>=1.0.4' # minimum version
It seems you have to use apostrophes for a minimum version.
Backslash in redis\>=2.10.5 is the culprit of the problem. Replace redis\>=2.10.5 with 'redis>=2.10.5'.

Python DistributionNotFound Error after installing EB CLI 3.0

Have tried many things, but keep getting this error after multiple attempts to update python, pip, etc. I am on OS X running 10.9.5.
CMD% eb
Traceback (most recent call last):

I was experiencing a similar error when trying to run eb, though not for dateutil...

For me the solution was to update setuptools:
sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools
Hope that helps somebody.
Use the following command:
pip install awsebcli
It will automatically upgrade all dependecies of awsebcli.
use the following command
sudo pip install python-dateutil
to upgrade it
Pip is probably linked to a different version of python then standard.
You should try installing pip using
python get-pip.py
(You can download get-pip.py from the pip website)
Otherwise, You can see which Python everything is linked too.
which python
head -1 $(which eb)
head -1 $(which pip)
You can change to shebang line in the eb script to match pip and it should all work.
You can also install using a virtualenv (pythons recommended way of installing)
virtualenv ~/ebenv
source ~/ebenv/bin/activate
pip install awsebcli
deactivate
sudo ln -s ~/ebenv/bin/eb /usr/local/bin/
in my case on mac osx 10.10, I had to reinstall.
sudo pip install python-dateutil
Just in case some runs into this type of error. check the last paragraph in the trace for the kind of error that it is being raised. In my case, this was:
raise VersionConflict(dist, req).with_context(dependent_req)
pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (six 1.4.1
(/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python),
Requirement.parse('six>=1.5'), set(['python-dateutil']))
I had the exact same issue, for me, the eb script was using the wrong python. To solve it I just modified the eb script:
> which eb
/usr/local/bin/eb
> sudo vim /usr/local/bin/eb
## Change the first line from '#!/usr/bin/python' to '#!/usr/local/bin/python'
After restarting the terminal, everything work as expected.
From the raised error in your log, it needs python-dateutil>=2.1.
So you need to make sure that version is installed and install it if not. I had similar issue, and the solution (in my case) is:
$ pip install --ignore-installed python-dateutil==2.2

Why am I getting this error (related to pip and easy_install) when trying to setup a virtualenv?

I'm trying to create a Flask application to push to Heroku. When I try to create a virtualenv in the folder, I'm thrown this error:

It seems that for some reason virtualenv is not putting everything it should be putting into the venv/bin folder. Right now, only python and two aliases, python2 and python2.7 are in there.
Thanks!
I believe this is caused by a bug in older versions of virtualenv and/or pip. It looks like you're using virtualenv 1.8.4 and pip 1.2.1. Is it possible for you to upgrade to latest virtualenv and pip (currently virtualenv 1.9.1 and pip 1.3.1)?
This should do it, if you have install privileges:
pip install pip --upgrade
pip install virtualenv --upgrade
At that point running the same command (i.e. sudo virtualenv venv --distribute) should give you what you want.

Easy_install and Pip doesn't work

Easy_install and Pip doesn't work anymore on python 2.7, when I try to do:
sudo easy_install pip
I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/easy_install", line 5, in <module>

And when I try:
sudo pip install [package]
I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pip", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

I've already install both of them (and yes, first deleted them), but no result...
Thanks!
(I tried already this post)
I had this issue where python's distribute package wasn't installed for some reason. After following the instructions on python-distribute, i got it working.
install the distribute package as follows:
$ wget https://web.archive.org/web/20100225231201/http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
$ python distribute_setup.py
EDIT: http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py no longer works:
hopefully this will resolve your problem with running
$ sudo easy_install
Happy Coding!
If you installed a new version of easy_install through Distribute, the new command may have been installed in another directory, most likely /usr/local/bin/. But the traceback shows you were using /usr/bin/easy_install. Try this:
sudo /usr/local/bin/easy_install ...
Try
sudo easy_install Distribute
and if that exists, but is too old
sudo easy_install -U Distribute
Looks like either Distribute/setuptools (it's old name) is messed up or Python package settings. If either of these do not help, try removing the full Python 2.7 installation and reinstall everything from the scratch.
Possible reasons for the mess is that you have used both sudo easy_install / sudo pip and Linux distribution packages to mix and match system-wide installation packages. You should use virtualenv instead if you use pip/easy_install (no sudo needed)
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv
I had a similar problem, but things were working fine as root. In my case, I found that the permissions on the python packages were not readable by the ID I was running the command under.
To correct it, I ran the following command to open the permission for read and execute to all users:
sudo chmod o+rx -R /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/*.egg
I had similar issue when trying to install package via pip with python 3.6 on windows. (pip is supposed to work out of the box with this install)
The problem was not running as administrator.
Running cmd as administrator and then installing my package worked:
python -m pip install pylint
I was trying to get pip to work on the 2.7.0 version, but it seems like it doesn't come with the easy_install/pip files (Script folder in main directory), installing 2.7.13 solved the problem for me.
