pip3 not installing packages

I enter the following line into terminal:
pip3 install numpy
this gives me:

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command 'lsb_release -a' returned non-zero exit status 1
Im thinking its a path issue but im not really sure.

This is a bug with the distro package vendored by pip. The bug has been solved but the latest version of pip uses and very old version of distro which doesn't have this bug fix applied.
For now, you can simply try to make the executable available in the path.

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")

Setuptools installation in Jython

Is there a way to install this using Jython? Should I have used Jython installed by the installer instead of standalone?
Platform: Win 7 x64.

Yes, I think you should have.
It looks like a version problem.
Same here:

AttributeError when trying to install using pip

I'm running Python 2.7.9 on Yosemite (10.10.2), and my pip installation has gone wrong.
I can no longer install pip using get-pip.py:
sth:~ $ sudo python get-pip.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

I can use easy_install, and then create a symlink to it in /usr/local/bin, but trying to install using it gives me the same error, subsequently:

I'm certain it's not a problem with pip, so wondering what I've done wrong…

Sorry for necroing but for the sake of other googlers:
As pointed out here, you should not install logging with pip as it messes up the system version. I am not sure when this changed though.
So removing yourpythoninstallpath/lib/python2.7/site-packages/logging should remove the error.

I'd gotten a similar error an hour ago and found this question.
However I've solved it just now.
Although you might not think it useful, I hope this answer helps you solving the problem.
In fact, when I use virtualenvwrapper, I want to control an ENV suddenly.
So I created a backup directory for the reason in the same directory where another ENV is.
After that, There were not only 2 ENVs but also 3 directories related to ENV in .virtualenv.
It made some path to site-packages and etc change helter-skelter apparently.
That is why, if you don't confirm the files about Virtualenv, I reccomend you to do.
The error with me is the following.
~ pip freeze

Can't create virtualenv with jython 2.7b2 as an interpreter

I want to execute some Java code from Python so I've decided to install standard python interpreter, jython and join them together using pyro4. Pyro4 requires python > 2.5 so I choose to use jython 2.7b. Here are steps I made to make this happen:
wget -i jython-installer-2.7-b2.jar http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/python/jython-installer/2.7-b1/jython-installer-2.7-b2.jar
java -jar jython-installer-2.7-b2.jar
jython2.7b2/bin/virtualenv-2.7 oscar
And this is what I'm getting back:

Does it mean that jython 2.7b2 is not quite ready yet or I'm doing something wrong?

Use this ez_setup.py to install setuptools:
added setuptools-egg and md5
