gitsome currently requires Python 3.4+

What version of python are you running?

$ python --version

That prints out
Python 3.5.1+

But I installed pip on Python 2.7, because when I try to install it it gives me:
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

I will try to get the newer python, thanks for your help.

I had the same problem on OSX and

sudo pip3 install git+https://github.com/donnemartin/gitsome.git

Solve my issue (I have both python versions installed).

@pacuna thanks I solved it in the same way:

sudo -H pip3 install gitsome

Great! I'll reopen this and investigate if there's anything I can do on my end and so others who run into this issue can more easily find this ticket.

For now, I added the following based on the discussions in this ticket. I'll keep this open for a little longer.

https://github.com/donnemartin/gitsome#pip3

pip3

Depending on your system, you might need to run pip3, possibly with the -H flag:

$ sudo -H pip3 install gitsome

See this ticket for more details.

I faced a similar issue. Turns out I had Python 2.7 and 3.4 installed. However the pip command was configured for Python 2.7. So I had to install pip3 (since I had a fresh install of Linux on my machine):

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Then I used pip3 in all places where pip was mentioned in the installation instructions:

sudo pip3 install -e .
sudo pip3 install -r requirements-dev.txt

These fixed it for me.

@jashgala thanks for that note...how do you feel about a pull request :) Might be helpful to update the dev install section, maybe something like this?

https://github.com/donnemartin/gitsome#pip3

Updated README with #22.

As instructed in Readme I installed pip3
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
but this installs pip3 v8.1.1, I don't know why but this seems to be causing the problem.
Upgrading pip3 to v8.1.2 with python v3.5 did it for me, on my Ubuntu v16.04
$ sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip

Issue #4 is closed now, and I eventually got the install to work OK. Just for feedback, however, here's an annotated summary of what happened to me. I got a few messages that may be of interest. This is on a recent install of Linux Mint.

$ git clone https://github.com/donnemartin/gitsome.git
$ cd gitsome/
$ pip install -e
The program 'pip' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt install python-pip

OK, install 'python-pip' then, as instructed.

$ sudo apt install python-pip
The following additional packages will be installed:
  python-pip-whl
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  python-pip python-pip-whl
  (worked OK)

Seemed to work OK, but see ahead for problems.

Upgrade something that I just installed? Um, OK. I'll run the upgrade command then.

Weird. I did what the message recommended, but the message keeps recommending it. Looked back at the gitsome instructions and decided to try pip3 instead of pip.

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

I'm not sure if that's a total failure or just some warning that can be ignored. Decided to try running the subsequent command in the gitsome instructions.

That can't be good. Try upgrading again?

$ pip install --upgrade pip

Maybe the old 'pip' is confusing 'pip3' somehow. Try removing it.

$ sudo apt remove python-pip

  python-pip

OK, now re-try the first install command from the instructions.

$ pip3 install -e .

Could not import setuptools which is required to install from a source distribution.

Ugh. Why didn't the gitsome instructions mention that part? Oh, well. Try installing setuptools. I'm guessing that's a pip3 thing, not apt-get.

$ pip3 install setuptools

I guess it needs sudo powers.

$ sudo pip3 install setuptools

The directory '/home/wdye/.cache/pip' or its parent directory is not owned by the
current user and caching wheels has been disabled. check the permissions and owner
of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

I see a success message, but also a warning about needing sudo -H. Well, try it again with sudo -H then.

It's my old friend the 'pip install --upgrade pip' message! OK, how about we try it with sudo powers then.

$ sudo -H pip install --upgrade pip
sudo: pip: command not found

Er, how about we try it with pip3 instead of pip?

$ sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade pip

Seems like some warnings still, but I see 'Successfully' at the end, so let's try the original command.

$ pip3 install -e .

OK, OK, sudo -H, not just sudo.

Fine. Give sudo -H powers to it. Give it to everyone. You get a sudo -H. And you. And YOU. EVERYBODY GETS A SUDO -H.

Looks like it finally worked.

Hi @DarthFudd, sorry you ran into so many issues installing on Linux Mint, really appreciate the play-by-play, I think this will be helpful if others run into a similar issue.

I'll see if I can try to update the install instructions based on your feedback...or I'd be happy to look at a pull request if you're interested :)

You get a sudo -H. And you. And YOU. EVERYBODY GETS A SUDO -H.

lol!

@blank-black im with the same issue :/

@blank-black same issue

Hi all, check out #160, gitsome now supports Python 3.7.

Uploaded to PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/gitsome/

(mac)I fixed this problem by using this:

pip install psycopg2-binary

found this in the documents:
http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/install.html

hello, I have the same error like this in window. How can I solved? Please help me.

I don't know why, but for me it works when writing:
conda install cartopy
conda install geopandas
conda install ...

Easy solution step by step work for me and work for almost everyone!
1st You need to install apt-get package
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
sudo apt-get install libmariadbclient-dev
2nd you need to install pip package
pip install mysqlclient
then you are ready to install any package which have problem of

python setup.py egg_info Check

pip install your-package-name

any solution ?

I have the same error as NIravMeghani:

"ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output."

Do you know how to solve the issue? Thank you in advance.
