The Mac Book Air M1 chip doesn't seem to support pep517 according to the errors of installing third-party libraries with pip or brew. Even using these methods without pep517 downloading the library locally didn't work. How does one circumvent this?
Error from using pip install pandas:
Failed to build numpy
ERROR: Could not build wheels for numpy which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly
I've tried this:
pip install <lib>
installing the library locally and trying to install with pip without pep517
brew install <lib>
openblas installation of lib
python env on the intel venv
I had the exact same problem, with a different library but with the same error code for PEP 517, I was using python 3.9 at the time, I checked the docs and found out that it's a problem with the python version for the library, downgraded to Python 3.6 and voila! it worked.
Basically try downgrading to Python 3.6 and check.
Installing python libraries through Anaconda seems to work. I simply downloaded the installer and could later use the libraries globally. If someone has a better in-depth explanation, feel free to comment.
I was having the same message when trying to install a different package. I solved by removing the CommandLineTools and installing it again. The steps were:
sudo rm -r /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
wait for command prompt...
xcode-select --install
This solved the issue for me.

I can not for the life of me figure out how to install the package statsmodels for Python 3. It feels like I've tried everything, but nothing is working.
Goal: import statsmodels in python
I start with:
pip install statsmodels
Main error messages:
Failed bulding wheel for statsmodels.
Cython is required to compile statsmodels from a development branch.
Please install Cython or download a source release of statsmodels.
So I try:
pip install cython
Gives:
Requirement already satisfied: cython in c:users\XXX\appdata\roaming\python\python36\site-packages
I installed cython by installing anaconda. I have tried almost all answers I could find by basic googling. But things just don't seem to be working.
Instead of listing the input\output of what I have tried I now only show the first steps, but let me know if you want to see the output of any commands.
How do I continue from here? Any help is appreciated, I've been trying to fix this for several days now and I'm only getting frustrated.
Right now I'm trying:
easy_install cython
This seemed to work, but afterwards pip install statsmodels didn't work.
Command ... failed with error code 1.
I tried:
git clone https://github.com/statsmodels/statsmodels
cd statsmodels
pip install .
And failed with a bunch of errors.
I ran into this same problem lastnight trying to install statsmodels. Finally what worked was installing the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler for Python found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=44266 then installing statsmodels by doing pip install statsmodels. I had already installed Cython by using pip. Though I do realize that was for Python 2.7. There doesn't seem to be this compiler available for Python 3.
The main statsmodels on PyPI is very old and uses a nonstandard setup. The release candidate for 0.10.0 is out now, and I would strongly recommend you use this one. You can install it using
pip install statsmodels=0.10.0rc2 --pre
It has wheels for all of the major platforms (Win/OSX/Linux), so you shouldn't see issues related to Cython.
To install statsmodels under anaconda, use
conda install statsmodels
The package is available in the repository of anacondata in version 0.8.0 which is the latest on pip as of now.
anaconda is not "just" a Python installation, it also contains the conda package manager that can install pre-built packages from the main repository of anaconda or from other "channels". It is not advisable to install packages that are available from the anaconda channel with pip, in general.
A comment on the issue of Cython here: to use Cython, your computer needs also a "development environment", that is the availability of a C compiler, of the Python development headers, among others. The C compiler must be compatible with the version of Python for which Cython is installed.
I'm having a hard time setting up python packages. EasyInstall from SetupTools is supposed to help that, but they don't have an executable for Python 2.6.
For instance to install Mechanize, I'm just supposed to put the Mechanize folder in C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages according to INSTALL.txt, but runnning the tests does not work. Can someone help shed some light on this? Thanks!
The accepted answer is outdated. So first, pip is preferred over easy_install, (Why use pip over easy_install?). Then follow these steps to install pip on Windows, it's quite easy.
Install setuptools:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py | python
Install pip:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python
Optionally, you can add the path to your environment so that you can use pip anywhere. It's somewhere like C:\Python33\Scripts.
Newer versions of Python for Windows come with the pip package manager. (source)
pip is already installed if you're using Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4
Use that to install packages:
cd C:\Python\Scripts\
pip.exe install <package-name>
So in your case it'd be:
pip.exe install mechanize
This is a good tutorial on how to get easy_install on windows. The short answer: add C:\Python26\Scripts (or whatever python you have installed) to your PATH.
You don't need the executable for setuptools.
You can download the source code, unpack it, traverse to the downloaded directory and run python setup.py install in the command prompt
Starting with Python 2.7, pip is included by default. Simply download your desired package via
python -m pip install [package-name]
As I wrote elsewhere
Packaging in Python is dire. The root cause is that the language ships without a package manager.
Fortunately, there is one package manager for Python, called Pip. Pip is inspired by Ruby's Gem, but lacks some features. Ironically, Pip itself is complicated to install. Installation on the popular 64-bit Windows demands building and installing two packages from source. This is a big ask for anyone new to programming.
So the right thing to do is to install pip. However if you can't be bothered, Christoph Gohlke provides binaries for popular Python packages for all Windows platforms http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
In fact, building some Python packages requires a C compiler (eg. mingw32) and library headers for the dependencies. This can be a nightmare on Windows, so remember the name Christoph Gohlke.
I had problems in installing packages on Windows. Found the solution. It works in Windows7+. Mainly anything with Windows Powershell should be able to make it work. This can help you get started with it.
Firstly, you'll need to add python installation to your PATH variable. This should help.
You need to download the package in zip format that you are trying to install and unzip it. If it is some odd zip format use 7Zip and it should be extracted.
Navigate to the directory extracted with setup.py using Windows Powershell (Use link for it if you have problems)
Run the command python setup.py install
That worked for me when nothing else was making any sense. I use Python 2.7 but the documentation suggests that same would work for Python 3.x also.
Upgrade the pip via command prompt ( Python Directory )
D:\Python 3.7.2>python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Now you can install the required Module
D:\Python 3.7.2>python -m pip install <<yourModuleName>>
pip is the package installer for python, update it first, then download what you need
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Then:
python -m pip install <package_name>
You can also just download and run ez_setup.py, though the SetupTools documentation no longer suggests this. Worked fine for me as recently as 2 weeks ago.

Or just put the directory to your pip executable in your system path.
As mentioned by Blauhirn after 2.7 pip is preinstalled. If it is not working for you it might need to be added to path.
However if you run Windows 10 you no longer have to open a terminal to install a module. The same goes for opening Python as well.
You can type directly into the search menu pip install mechanize, select command and it will install:
If anything goes wrong however it may close before you can read the error but still it's a useful shortcut.
I am trying to follow to the installation guide on tensorflow.org and have installed Python version 2 again for that reason using Homebrew.
When I run the installation as described
$ pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl
I get this error message:
tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
I am obviously doing something wrong, but have no idea. Any clues?
I do not want to use virtualenv, since anaconda already comes with its own environment management conda. When installing the newest version 0.6.0 directly with pip install, I had a similar error. It seemed to not resolve the dependencies correctly.
Here is what you can try:
Install anaconda
Create a new conda workspace
Download the specific protobuf version that tensorflow needs: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/protobuf/3.0.0a3
Install it via sudo easy_install ~/Downloads/protobuf-3.0.0a3-py2.7.egg
Install a numpy version greater than 1.08.x via conda install numpy
Download the 0.6.0 version of tensorflow: https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.6.0-py2-none-any.whl
Install via pip install ~/Downloads/tensorflow-0.6.0-py2-none-any.whl
When you install tensorflow from the whl file directly, it should tell you when dependencies are not there. It seems not to be able to resolve these conflicts independently. My setup had issues with protobuf and numpy. After installing them manually everything worked fine.
I hope this helps!
It seems to be a common issue. Try to install it in the virtualenv. Its a much better solution, as you can always easily set up a new version of tensorflow without conflicts.
VirutalEnv Tutorial:
http://tensorflow.org/get_started/os_setup.md#virtualenv-based_installation
On the Mac, I didn't have any problem installing tensorflow with the anaconda version of python: https://www.continuum.io/downloads
The anaconda version also provides science, math, engineering, and data analysis packages. A lot of people on https://www.kaggle.com/ seem to use this...just a thought.
So I was looking around at different things to do on Python, like code for flashing text or a timer, but when I copied them into my window, there were constant syntax errors. Now, maybe you're not meant to copy them straight in, but one error I got was 'no module named wx'. I learned that I could get that module by installing wxPython. Problem is, I've tried all 4 options and none of them have worked for me. Which one do I download and how do I set it up using Windows?
Thanks
It's on PyPI. As of wxPython 4, Python 3 is supported.
Unfortunately, PyPI has a package called wx that is stuck at version 3.0.3; be sure to install the package named wxpython instead.
pip install wxpython
Please note that pip will automatically build wxWidgets for you, but it will not install wxWidgets system dependencies such as GTK and OpenGLu. If the above command exits with an error, look above for a message like this:
checking for <something>... not found
checking for <something>... no
configure: error: <prereq> libraries not available
Error running configure
ERROR: failed building widgets
This should give you information about at least one of the packages your system is missing.
The "official" list of prerequisites from the wxWidgets source is:
dpkg-dev
build-essential
libjpeg-dev
libtiff-dev
libsdl1.2-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev # or 1.0 if available
libnotify-dev
freeglut3
freeglut3-dev
libsm-dev
libgtk-3-dev
libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev # or libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev if available
libxtst-dev
The actual package names provided by your package manager may not match these exactly, and to be honest, I don't really know the best way to query a package manager to determine what packages provide the libraries you need.
3 steps to install wx-widgets and pygame in python IDLE
Install python 3xxx in your system opting (Add 3xxx to your path).
open python CLI to see whether python is working or not.
then open command prompt (CMD).
type PIP to see whether pip is installed or not.
enter command : pip install wheel
enter command : pip install pygame
To install wxpython
enter command : pip install -U wxPython
Thats all !!
As per home page instruction:
Make sure you have at least version 6.0.8 of pip and 12.0.5 for setuptools.
Install requirements for Linux as outlined in the readme.rst at:
https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/blob/master/README.rst
Install wxPython-Phoenix (Linux):
sudo pip install --upgrade --trusted-host wxpython.org --pre -f http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/ wxPython_Phoenix
Install wxPython-Phoenix (Windows, use the appropriate script folder):
C:\python27\scripts\pip.exe install --upgrade --trusted-host wxpython.org --pre -f http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/ wxPython_Phoenix
I installed wxPython as part of the PsychoPy experiment builder dependencies, and had considerable trouble getting it to install properly as well initially. But this was what worked for me at the end. I use Ubuntu 16.04, python 3.5, pip3 19.0.3
pip3 install -U -f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-16.04 wxPython --user
If you use Conda then you may easily setup the environment with wx by one line:
$ conda create -n wxenv python=3 wxPython
Solving environment: done
## Package Plan ##
environment location: /home/user/.conda/envs/wxenv
added / updated specs:
- python=3
- wxpython
The following packages will be downloaded:
package | build
---------------------------|-----------------
[...]
Proceed ([y]/n)?
You need to ensure the versions of your wxPython download matches your installed python language library.
The current downloads wxPython downloads doesn't show any libraries built against python 3. I Believe the python 3 porting project is still ongoing.
If you are not sure of what you are doing I would stick with the 32bit version on windows as there are some Python libraries (ie IIRC, MySQLdb) which don't work with 64 bit python.
So you would then need to download python2.7 for windows x86 and "wxPython3.0-win32-py27 32-bit Python 2.7"
To install wxPython GUI library correctly go to the following page (https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/), which contains snapshots builds of wxPython library (Phoenix version) depending on your os and version of Python you want to work.
Then when you downloaded the proper package for your system and python version, simply install it by using pip. In my case I've choosen that one (wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.3.dev2811+ecc4797-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl):
pip install wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.3.dev2811+ecc4797-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
To check that it has been installed sucessfully on the site-packages folder for your current python environment write:
pip freeze
It's all!
Check the version of wxpython and the version of python you have in your machine.
For python 2.7 use wxPython3.0-win32-3.0.2.0-py27 package
The problem was solved in openSuse simply with
zypper in python-wxWidgets-3_0-devel
Trying pip install before, gave me a lot of trouble (missing traits, missing wx/setup.h, https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/issues/1644, error: aggregate ‘wxGLAttributes _NullGLAttributes’ has incomplete type and cannot be defined, etc.).
wxpython failed to be installed with pipenv. Pipenv is not able to find wxpython binary so it tries to build wxpython but fails.
CXXFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/include" pipenv install wxpython
On my macOS M1 pipenv failed to install wxPython. After a lot of searching I found a forum post which really helped me fix the problem.

Install current development version with:
pip install -U https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE/archive/master.zip
(python < 3.9) Install current Beta version (2.0b1) with:
pip install psutil
pip install -U --pre robotframework-ride
Note that I tried to install wxPython with 'pip install -U wxPython' as per instruction
with no avail. Too many errors to list here. 🤨
I found a solution to the problem!!
I'm working on a 64b machine and Windows 11 operating system using VSCode.
Here is the solution using PowerShell:
Version specs:
pip 22.3.1
virtualenv 20.15.1
python 3.10.8
Create a new virtual environment in the directory where the program resides and
activate. There must be no modules installed.
virtualenv venv
venv/scripts/activate.bat
Install the following in sequence:
pip install pygame
(Not sure why pygame must be installed first, but this was
recommended and it works) 😟
pip install -U wxPython
SUCCESS!!! 🤠
These are the modules installed:
numpy 1.24.1
Pillow 9.4.0
pip 22.3.1
pygame 2.1.2
setuptools 65.4.0
six 1.16.0
wheel 0.37.1
wxPython 4.2.0
VSCode still reports wx as a missing module even when you activate the virtual
environment within. Running the code from the PS command prompt within the virtual
environment is the only working solution.
PS. I am sure there are some conflicts when trying to install wxPython within an
environment where all the other modules are installed.
I'm trying to install Google's or-tools on mac 10.10 - https://code.google.com/p/or-tools/wiki/OrToolsWithPyPi .
I install using python2.7 setup.py install --user (tried also with sudo and without --user) but get the following when it goes to pypi to download the package:
.. Some other output ..
Installed /Users/Zach/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/ortools_examples-1.3549-py2.7.egg
Processing dependencies for ortools-examples==1.3549
Searching for ortools
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/ortools/
No local packages or download links found for ortools
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('ortools')
I noticed that it creates the directory build/bdist.macosx-10.8-x86_64/egg in order to build everything in but I'm running macosx 10.10.
When looking in https://pypi.python.org/simple/ortools/ I can see a matching egg file for version 3549 but it's for macosx10.9, could that be the problem? Why does setup.py thinks I'm on 10.8?
Anyway, it might not be the problem, so any other help is very appreciated. Thanks!
Former solution (using easy_install and egg file)
I temporarily solve the problem of installing by installing or-tools using easy-install directly from the egg file (I use easy-install installed from MacPorts). Here is how I install it.
sudo easy_install-2.7 https://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/o/ortools/ortools-1.3853-py2.7-macosx-10.9-intel.egg#md5=f1f23b375652d40b9fbce682302e8dc8
Here is the link address for or-tools egg file that I use: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ortools/1.3853
It will give some warning but I can load or-tools in Python by using import ortools with no problem.
New solution (using pip)
I can now install ortools using pip. However, default protobuf version is 2.6.0 so I have to uninstall and reinstall new protobuf version that works with ortools (e.g. in this case, we will do 3.0.0b4).
pip install protobuf==3.0.0b4
pip install ortools
Note that ortools is only compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2 not 3.5 yet
Now or-tools support python 3.5 and python 3.6.
also please notice v6.6 will require protobuf 3.5
cf requirement https://github.com/google/or-tools/blob/master/Dependencies.txt
