pip3 "build" will not install

when I try to install build with
sudo pip3 install build
the following error occurs:
Exception:

configparser.DuplicateOptionError: While reading from 'setup.cfg' [line 10]: option 'url' in section 'metadata' already exists
while installing the collected packages. The install never completes; pip says it was never installed. I would greatly appreciate any help troubleshooting.

In the off chance anyone else has this problem, I found a temporary fix that will probably make python stop working in a few days.. I went to ln 1088-1090 of /usr/lib/python3.7/configparser.py and replaced that bit about raising an exception after an if statement with
while (self._strict and
(sectname, optname) in elements_added):
elements_added.pop()
This seemed to have fixed the problem, albeit not in the most pretty method, as installation pf build and use of sdist now works ok.

Thank you for your time.

I think the newer version of pipenv is causing the error, I use this command when having the same issue and it worked for me, just use
pip install pipenv==2018.10.13

I had the same problem when I uninstalled Anaconda. Mine got solved after I did the following steps
run regedit.exe
Go to
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python\PythonCore
If there is/are folders having previous versions of python.Delete every version of python other than your current one(for eg.3.7, 3.8 etc. I also had to delete some folder containing something related to anaconda to solve the problem (other than the previous versions)

I was just struggling with a similar problem with pipenv that was giving me the same error messages.
WinError 2 has to do with corrupted files in one of your Python installs/uninstalls. I searched regedit for Anaconda3 to figure out which version of Python that I had previously installed or uninstalled was causing the problem.
For me, it was Python 3.6.5. I installed it in the same location as the path in the error message (in your case that would be D:/program_files/). Then, I just uninstalled it with the installation exe, and I stopped getting these error messages.

Have you tried the conda install command? To do this, go on your anaconda prompt, cd in the folder where you have installed your anaconda. Have a look at this.
conda install -c conda-forge pipenv
make sure you activate your environment before running the conda install command. To activate your environment run conda activate envname. I hope it helps!

So help me out how to fix this problem.
I have tried to install from pycharm also but it can't install there also

Based on the traceback you provided and this Github Issue the issue appears to be the "incremental" package dependency. You can try installing incremental (17.5.0) using pip install incremental==17.5.0 before installing scrapy.
Note that in the scrapy documentation installation guide it says:
"Though it’s possible to install Scrapy on Windows using pip, we
recommend you to install Anaconda or Miniconda and use the package
from the conda-forge channel, which will avoid most installation
issues."
So you could follow the steps in the documentation if installing incremental doesn't resolve your issues.

issue in installing packages using pip install

I need to install pyspark. It has a dependency on pypandoc. So I first do pip install pypandoc and then pip install pyspark and everything looks fine. However, based on some requirements I need to install my dependencies using a requirements.txt file. So I put both pypandoc and pyspark in the requirements.txt file and then I do pip install -r requirements.txt (pypandoc comes first in the file followed by pyspark), however this time the installation file with the following error
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Could not import pypandoc - required to package PySpark
Download error on https://pypi.org/simple/pypandoc/: [Errno 97] Address family not supported by protocol -- Some packages may not be found!

raise DistutilsError(msg)

So it looks like when I do it in this way, the pypandoc is not properly installed when it tries to install pyspark. How can I fix this issue?

Pip won't install anything or upgrade and can't be removed

Oddly enough, trying to just run pip in the command prompt it gives me 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I've tried uninstalling with py -m pip uninstall pip setuptools and reinstalling by running py get-pip.py on the python file, none of which seem to do anything.
So I have no way of uninstalling, reinstalling, or upgrading pip, and I can't use the current version of pip to install anything. I've searched for hours and tried changing my PATH variable and looking at file path limits, but I'm completly stuck and very new to this type of thing. I'm on Windows 10.
EDIT: "pip", "pip3", "python" and "python3" commands don't work. "py" command works.
EDIT: I seem to have gotten around using pip this time. I downloaded the discord package from github then followed instructions here which say to run py setup.py install --user. Still, I'd like to be able to use pip in the future.

There are couple solutions. You can reinstall python and during installation add it to environmental variable. Another way would be adding scripts and python to environmental path. http://www.correlatedsolutions.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/85/1/running-python-scripts-from-anywhere-under-windows.
