My Kali linux showing 'No module named importlib' 'from importlib import import_module'

Trying to install build dependencies with pip which is installing in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
As I try to install proceed gives an error
Collecting git+https://github.com/kti/python-netfilterqueue (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))

so I try to install importlib with pip and I still get the same error. Then I install it directly to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/pep517/ using
pip install importlib --target=/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/pep517/
because pip has been installing all packages to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages,
but I still get the error either way

Assuming you are trying to install python-netfilterqueue.
You can visit github page and see this
The current version of NetfilterQueue requires Python 3.6 or later.
So you can't install this lib for python 2.7
But you can install 0.9.0 as it also stated that
The last version with support for Python 2.7 was 0.9.0.
pip install NetfilterQueue=0.9.0

Try switching to python3 because this will definitely work.
First you have to install cython.
pip install cython
Then after that you need to make sure you install NetfilterQueue from source.
git clone https://github.com/oremanj/python-netfilterqueue
Navigate to the netfilterqueue directory.
cd python-netfilterqueue
Then run this command.
python3 setup.py install
That's it. It should work properly

egg_info error when installing python modules

I am new to Python and I am trying to install pypgen.
As explained one the webpage, I first installed "samtools" (via brew install samtools as recommended).
Trying to install pypgen
I tried the 4 ways suggested by the author to install pypgen
$pip3.6 install pypgen
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/yv/n6rkh3sn5mn5qpsn87lvjw4m0000gp/T/pip-build-aQiBgg/pypgen/
$easy_install pypgen
Processing pypgen
error: Couldn't find a setup script in /Users/remi/Downloads/pypgen-0.2.1/pypgen
$pip3.6 install -e git+https://github.com/ngcrawford/pypgen.git
Could not detect requirement name, please specify one with #egg=
I downloaded "pypgen-0.2.1.tar.gz" from the pypgen website, uncompressed it, cd to the folder and did
$python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 1, in <module>
import distribute_setup
ImportError: No module named distribute_setup
So, I did
$pip3.6 install distribute
but it did not solve the previous issue
Trying to Solve egg_info error
This egg_info error seems to be key. I tried to download this file and did
sudo python ez_setup.py
as recommended on this post but it did not solve the error messages above. I then tried
sudo pip3.6 install --upgrade setuptools
as recommended on this post but I keep receiving the same error messages when doing pip3.6 install pypgen
I am using Python 3.6 but I also have the version 2.7 installed. I tried everything with both versions (pip3.6 and pip2.7) and get the same errors. I am on MAC OS X 10.11.3

Pip Install Theano Error Code 255

I am trying to install Theano on my Windows 10 system with Python 2.7.9, 64-bit through pip install theano. But I am getting a crash every time with this message:
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 255 in
c:\users\sunny\appdata\local\temp\pip-build-lwmpfg\theano\
And then a window says python.exe has stopped working.
What is wrong with my system and how to install Theano on a Windows system? Please see Edit 2 too!
Edit: This is the complete terminal instance
C:\Users\sunny>pip install theano
Collecting theano

Edit 2: It seems like pip install command itself is problematic, since using it gives python.exe has stopped working irrespective of the package
C:\Users\sunny>pip install django
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): django in c:\users\sunny\appdata\local\enthought\canopy\user\lib\site-packages

Can pip install a python egg via a local package tar.gz file

In my dev environment, due to some networking problems, when I run:
(my-virt-env)$ pip install lxml
It always fails due to:
Downloading/unpacking lxml
Downloading lxml-3.1.2.tar.gz (3.3Mb): 1.2Mb downloaded
Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
blablabla
error: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer
Then I downloaded lxml-3.1.2.tar.gz from somewhere else and used an usb key to copy it over. Is there anyway I can tell pip not bother to go to the Internet for this package, just install it via the local tar.gz? So I can do something like:
(my-virt-env)$ pip install ${local_path}/lxml*.tar.gz
tried this command, I get very long error message:
pip install /home/shengjie/Downloads/lxml-3.1.2.tar.gz

Running setup.py egg_info for package from file:///home/shengjie/Downloads/lxml-3.1.2.tar.gz

I am running Ubuntu, I know you can run `apt-get install python-lxml` and get it installed on your box. But that doesn't work for my case as I want install it in my virtual env: `my-virt-env`.

You can do it, the command is:
pip install --no-index --find-links=file:///[absolute path to your tar.gz]

What I'm seeing is that it's complaining that the DEV version of libxml2 and libxslt are missing.
Do an apt-get installation of those 2 packages, libxml2-dev and libxslt-dev, and perform your pip installation again and see how that goes.

Problems installing PyCurl on python2.7.0+

pycurl installs fine on python2.6 but i get the following error when I try to install in on 2.7 via easy_install on maverick
$ sudo easy_install pycurl

Is 2.7 not compatible with pycurl?

sudo apt-get install python-dev
This installs the Python development package that is required and fixes the problem of the missing header file.
