TyperError installing jupyter

I'm trying to install jupyter on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS but I keep getting this error. I tried giving permissions to every folder and run the code as:
sudo -H pip3 install --user jupyter
But nothing worked. I also did the update on pip and it's running the latest version.
Exception:

Thanks for the help!

For me it works with the recent pyparsing package. Perhaps you need to upgrade your pyparsing to the recent version. If you installed it with apt-get, you need to remove the python3-pyparsing package, and install it with pip3.
sudo apt remove python3-pyparsing
sudo pip3 install pyparsing
As this answer writes, you need pyparsing>=2.0.2 to avoid this error.

I had this error as well, after a bit of digging I found this question that addresses the same error caused by some other software.
As the author states, the problem is that the call to MARKER_EXPR() should have a 'name' argument but it doesn't.
To fix this, edit line 59 of /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/packaging/requirements.py and just add quotes to the call to MARKER_EXPR() like so:
MARKER_EXPR = originalTextFor(MARKER_EXPR(""))("marker")

----- Failed to install 'pyzmail' -----
After Googling, I checked I had the ez_setup and setuptools modules installed, which I do. Any help would be much appreciated!

I've been able to reproduce your problem, and you're right, using pip install pyzmail wont' be good (pyzmail's installer is buggy) so i've tried this instead:
easy_install pyzmail
And it succeed, then I could just import pyzmail without any problem.

You can also try installing the pyzmail36 fork, which installs the same modules for Python 3.6 and later: pip install pyzmail36 on Windows and pip3 install pyzmail36 on Linux and macOS.

You can try easy_install pyzmail
That worked for me in 2020.

configparser not working in Python 3.4, NoSectionError but works fine in PyCharm

I worked on a Python 3.4 script in PyCharm 4.5. (repo: https://github.com/Djidiouf/bbot )
In it, I used import configparser without any problem for retrieving some values in a config.cfg:
config = configparser.RawConfigParser()
config.read('config.cfg')
server = config.get('bot_configuration', 'server')
channel = config.get('bot_configuration', 'channel')
botnick = config.get('bot_configuration', 'botnick')
port = config.getint('bot_configuration', 'port')
Now, I want to deploy it on a Debian 8.1 server. On that server, I have both Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 versions installed.
But when I ran the script on the machine, I have the following issue:
djidiouf#linuxserver:/home/djidiouf# /usr/bin/python3.4 /home/djidiouf/bbot/bbot.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/configparser.py", line 1116, in _unify_values
sectiondict = self._sections[section]
KeyError: 'bot_configuration'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I made a lot of research on Internet about that but I didn't find anything valuable. Some people made mention about a corrupt config.cfg file but mine is a LF EOL file with UTF8 without BOM as needed. I also recreated it again with vi on the machine.
I also tried to install configparser with pip (even if, if I understand it well, it's now build-in in Python 3) : pip3 install configparser But when I do that, I have the following error:
djidiouf#linuxserver:/home/djidiouf# sudo pip3 install -v configparser

Here is a config example, I just changed the values and rename the file accordingly to config.cfg :
[bot_configuration]
server = your.irc.server.com
channel = ##your_channel
botnick = bbot
port = 6667
admins = You,Him
https://github.com/Djidiouf/bbot/blob/master/config_example.cfg
Finally, I just want to say that everything is working on PyCharm 4.5, I just made a git clone, rename the config_example.cfg, change the values, tried to run the script with Python 3.4.

The install error is from _KEYCRE = re.compile(ur"%\(([^)]+)\)s"), that is causing a syntax error as the ur prefix is not supported in python3, pip is trying to instal a python2 package.
Your first error is a keyError 'bot_configuration' which is not because of not having configparser installed, configparser is part of the standard library.
The bot_configuration KeyError is because python cannot find your config file, if you use config.read('foobar') in pycharm you will see the exact same output

I figured out that I had some inconsistency about running the script. When I was in another folder than my script, nothing worked but when I was in it, it worked. Perhaps because the config file is shared and used in the main script and in a module.
In fact it's due to the need to have an absolute path in config.read('/some/path/file.cfg')
Finally, I find that answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13800583/3301370
So here is the solution in the case of config.cfg being on the project root directory /config.cfg :
/bbot.py
import os
config.read(os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)), 'config.cfg'))
However, as the config file is shared and used in the main script and in a subpath, module, a correct path must be set for the sub module too:
/modules/connection.py
import os
config.read(os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)), '..', 'config.cfg'))
It works fine in PyCharm because when you hit the run button for your script, it runs it with the path of the project. The fact that having a relative path for both config.read() statements worked only because of that.
The problem with installing configparser with pip is unrelated to that specific problem and can be ignore in that case as configparser is a built-in library in Python3.

Python Pip Install "Egg" Error (Pandas and other modules)

Having issues installing some python modules (for example pandas) and also had some issues installing ipython notebook.
This error seems to have come up before for other folks (Python pip install fails: invalid command egg_info), but they were using Python 2.7, whereas I'm using 2.6 (default with my Mac OS 10.6). Also I tried easy_install -U setuptools and pip install --upgrade setuptools but neither worked.
This is the error I get for installing pandas:

A permission Denied message would suggest you to run your command as root as suggested by Hackaholic.
try sudo pip install YOUR_PACKAGE
You might also want to have a look at virtualenv to use a more isolated environment.
Under debian based distributions, you might install python-virtualenv package with apt-get install python-virtualenv.
Then create a virtual environment names whatever by typing virtualenv whatever (this will create a folder whatever inside your current folder.
Then cd to it and type bin/activate to enter this virtual environment.
From there try again your pip install command.
Might help
UPDATE :
You might try to use the suggested solutions available here
To sumup, try to add export ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future inside ~/.bash_profile

This question comes first in Google, but the second one actually worked:

ImportError while installing pip in virtualenv

I have a rhel machine with python2.6 installed on it. I've been trying to have an alternate install of python2.7 and set up a virtualenv for using 2.7. I installed python2.7 by building from source as follows:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-unicode=ucs4 --enable-shared LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath /usr/local/lib"
make && make altinstall
I already had virtualenv installed on the system so I used it to create a venv for 2.7 as follows:
virtualenv -p python2.7 --no-setuptools py27
. py27/bin/activate
Now when I try to install pip inside the venv, it fails like so:
python get-pip.py

I was in a situation similar to yours, and I eventually found the fix. At least in my case the root problem was that when I compiled python 2.7.8 the build process didn't find the proper OpenSSL libraries (because they were not installed on my system). After make finished running it showed a summary similar to this:
Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules:
_bsddb _curses _curses_panel
_hashlib _sqlite3 _ssl
This doesn't prevent make install from working, and after that Python works just fine, except that it can't access https URLs and other related functionality. You can tell if this is your case by starting python and then typing
import ssl
If you see an ImportError, then the ssl module is missing. Otherwise, you see no message at all.
I fixed this by installing the OpenSSL libraries by running (as root):
yum install openssl-devel
After this was in place, I rebuilt Python with make (now _ssl was not listed as missing), followed by make install. After this, running get-pip.py worked without a hitch.
Hope this helps!
